What are the functions of cell division?, consists - Coggle Diagram

- - - - To produce gametes, cells in the adult’s reproductive system undergo a specialized type of cell division called meiotic cell division
  - - - Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent and to each other, but it is achieved by various methods across the domains of life.
- - - - When a stem cell divides, one daughter cell remains a stem cell (self-renewal, left). The other daughter cell may divide a few times, but eventually differentiates into a specialized cell type (potency, animal examples at bottom). (b) The tips of plant shoots and roots, where growth occurs, contain self-renewing, potent stem cells (meristem cells).
      - Most of the cells formed by the first few cell divisions of a fertilized egg, and some cells in adult animals
      - characteristics
        
        self renewal
        
        elf-renewal means that stem cells retain the capacity to divide, in some cases for the entire life of the organism.
        
        potency
        
        Potency means that dividing stem cells produce daughter cells that can differentiate into a variety of specialized cell types.
