Study Notes
Characteristics of Cells
- Growth and reproduction are characteristics of cells, and all living organisms.
- Cells reproduce by dividing into two, with each parental cell giving rise to two daughter cells.
Cell Division
- Cell division is a very important process in all living organisms.
- During cell division, DNA replication and cell growth also take place.
Cell Growth and Development
- A single cell can form a structure consisting of millions of cells through cycles of growth and division.
- The newly formed daughter cells can grow and divide, giving rise to a new cell population formed by the growth and division of a single parental cell and its progeny.
