Cells Division - Coggle Diagram

- - - - During interphase, the cell grows to about twice the size it was when it was first produced.
      - The cell also engages in normal life activities, such as transporting materials in and transporting wastes out.
      - Also, cellular respiration occurs, which provides the energy the cell needs.
    - - Is the shortest period in the life cycle.
      - The function of mitosis is to move the DNA and other material in the parent cell into position for cell division.
      - When the cell divides, each new cell gets a full set of DNA and other cell structures.
      - Cytokinesis occurs immediately after mitosis.
        
        Cytokinesis is the division of the parent cell's cytoplasm.
  - - - Chromosomes condense.
        
        the DNA in the nucleus of a cell condenses and becomes visible under a light microscope.
        
        Each chromosome consists of two identical chromatids held together by a centromere. The membrane around the nucleus disappears.
      - Chromosomes line up.
        
        The chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
        
        This stage is called metaphase.
      - Chromosomes separate.
        
        During the stage called anaphase, the chromatids split, resulting in two separate, identical chromosomes.
        
        These chromosomes are pulled to opposite sides of the cell.
      - Nuclei form.
        
        A new nuclear membrane forms around each group of chromosomes during telophase.
        
        The chromosomes return to their threadlike form.
- - - - Division in Unicellular Organisms
        
        Binary fission occurs when the parent organism splits in two, producing two completely independent daughter cells. Genetically, the daughter cells are exactly like the parent cell.
      - Budding
        
        Budding is a process in which an organism develops tiny buds on its body.
        
        Each bud forms from the parent's cells, so the bud's genetic material is the same as the parent's.
        
        The bud grows until it forms a complete or nearly complete new organism that is genetically identical to the parent.
      - Regeneration
        
        The process of new tissue growth at these sites is called regeneration.
        
        Although one function of regeneration is the regrowth of damaged or missing body parts, in some organisms asexual reproduction is another function of regeneration.
