Document Summary

The ability of organisms to produce more of their own thing is one characteristic that best distinguishes living things from nonliving matter. The capacity to procreate has acellular basis. Where a cell exists, there must have been a preexisting cell, just as the animal arises only from an animal and the plant only a plant - rudolf virchow. Ex. asexual reproduction: amoeba single-celled eukaryote divides into two cells. Ex. growth and development: ex. embryo after cell divided forms two cells. Multicellular eukaryotes = depend on cell division for development from fertilized egg, growth and repair. Tissue renewal: determines rate of cell division. Cell cycle: the life of a cell from the time it is first formed during division of a parent cell until its own division into two daughter cells. Passing identical genetic materials to cellular offspring is a crucial function of cell division. Most cell division results in genetically identical daughter cells.
