Describe in brief the amitosis.
Answers
Answer:
Amitosis is the process of cellular division which majorly takes in the lower organisms like bacteria. This type of cellular division is a primitive type of division in which the nucleus of the cell divides unequally and then the cytoplasm divides. That is, the karyokinesis is followed by cytokinesis
Answer:
Amitosis:
i. Amitosis is exhibited by the meganucleus of Paramoecium, foetal cells, endosperm cells, etc.
ii. In this type of division, the nuclear membrane is retained throughout the division.
iii. The nucleus enlarges, elongates and divides directly.
iv. It is followed by cytokinesis leading to the formation of two daughter cells.
V. As amitosis does not distribute the chromatin equally in the daughter cell, it may lead to structural and functional irregularities.
