After a T cell divides, it primarily takes on two roles: effector T cells and memory T cells. Effector T cells actively respond to infections by recognizing and attacking infected cells or coordinating the immune response. Memory T cells, on the other hand, persist long-term in the body, providing a faster and more efficient response if the same pathogen is encountered again in the future. This dual function is crucial for both immediate defense and long-term immunity.
Mitosis is when one cell divides into two.
A somatic, or body, cell divides into two genetically identical daughter cells.
When a cell divides, the nucleus divides first in a process called mitosis, ensuring that each new cell receives a complete set of genetic information. After the nucleus divides, the rest of the cell, including the cytoplasm and organelles, divides in a process known as cytokinesis to form two separate daughter cells.
Because each cell needs its own set of DNA, there must be two sets of DNA present in a cell before it divides into two.
The starting cell that divides into two identical cells in mitosis is called a parent cell or a mother cell.

The starting cell that divides into two identical cells in mitosis is called a parent cell or a mother cell.
The process is known as mitosis. During mitosis, the nucleus of the eukaryotic cell divides the chromosomes evenly. After the mitosis, the cell undergoes cytokinesis, which divides the cell in two to create two independent identical (daughter) cells.
