Study Notes
Cell Division Overview
- Cell division consists of two main parts: Mitosis and Cytokinesis.
- The main reason for cell division to occur is for growth, development, and reproduction.
Types of Cell Division
- Binary fission in prokaryotic cells allows for the rapid production of new cells.
- Binary fission involves an equal division of the cell, resulting in two identical daughter cells.
- Vegetative propagation is a type of reproduction that involves breaking off a piece of a plant and rooting it to produce a new plant.
- Mitosis involves the formation of an exact copy of DNA and an equal division of the cell in two.
Cell Cycle
- The interphase makes up about 90% of the time spent in the cell cycle.
- During the interphase, preparation for growth occurs.
- Interphase is the longest phase of the cell cycle, where the cell grows, replicates its DNA, and prepares for cell division.
Unequal Division
- Budding is a type of reproduction that involves an unequal division of cytoplasm after the nucleus divides.
- In budding, a small part of the parent cell breaks off, forming a new cell.
