GROWTH AND DIVISION
Answers
Answer:
what is question
Explanation:
growth can be physical or mental
In animal cells and models, the control of cell growth and division is essential for the maintenance of cellular homeostasis and for cell proliferation. Defects in these pathways can lead to abnormal cell proliferation and eventually development of cancer. Although cell growth and cell division are two functionally distinct processes, they are crucial for generating progeny of all cells and are strongly intertwined. Therefore, these terms are often used interchangeably, which leads to confusion. It is best then to correctly define these terms before we discuss them in detail
Cell growth refers to the increase in cell size (mass accumulation) while cell division describes the division of a mother cell into two daughter cells (1->2->4->8, etc.). Cell proliferation is the process of generating an increased number of cells through cell division. Both cell division and growth are tightly linked to the cell cycle and its regulation. For instance most of the cell growth in mammalian cells takes place during the G1 phase whereas in fission yeast it occurs mostly during the G2 phase (Mitchison, 2003; Navarro et al., 2012
