Document Summary

Cellular division is the way that higher level plants and animals with differentiated tissues can replace old worn out cells with new ones of the same tissue type. Some eukaryotic organisms like the sea star produce identical offspring using binary fission. The process starts with the duplication of the (single circular) chromosome and movement to the ends of the cell. Eventually a point is reached where the cell wall divides. Cell elongates; genetically identical daughter cells form, no organelles: mitosis. Eukaryotic cell division (including asexual reproduction where possible) follows a sequence of events leading up to cell division. When chromosomes (condensed chromatin) are visible, the cells are in mitotic phase. Interphase is a time of high metabolic activity and growth. It has 3 subphases: g1- growth phase 1, cytoplasm increases, organelles divide, s- synthesis phase, replication of dna, g2- growth phase 2, two centrosomes each containing a centriole pair are formed at this point.
