Q.5- Life will not exist on Earth without cell division. Explain cell division and draw the labelled diagram
Answers
Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells. Cell division usually occurs as part of a larger cell cycle.
Answer:
Yes, Life will not exist on Earth without cell division.
Definition of Cell Division : The Process by which new cells are made is called cell division.
There are two types of cell division-
Mitosis: The process of cell division by which most cells divide is called mitosis. Each cell divide into two identical daughter cells. The daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the mother cell. It helps in growth and repair of tissues in organisms.
Meiosis: The special cells of reproductive organs divide in this manner. Meiosis involve two consecutive divisions. When a cell divide by meiosis it produces four cells instead of two. The number of chromosomes in daughter cells are half the chromosomes as of the mother cell.
Sorry but couldn't provide the diagram.
