2. Cell division - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_division

   Mitotic cell division enables sexually reproducing organisms to develop from the one-celled zygote, which itself is produced by fusion of two gametes, each having been produced by meiotic cell division. [5] [6] After growth from the zygote to the adult, cell division by mitosis allows for continual construction and repair of the organism. [7]

3. Hayflick limit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayflick_limit

   The typical normal human fetal cell will divide between 50 and 70 times before experiencing senescence. As the cell divides, the telomeres on the ends of chromosomes shorten. The Hayflick limit is the limit on cell replication imposed by the shortening of telomeres with each division. This end stage is known as cellular senescence.

4. Cell cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_cycle

   The cell cycle, or cell-division cycle, is the sequential series of events that take place in a cell that causes it to divide into two daughter cells. These events include the growth of the cell, duplication of its DNA ( DNA replication ) and some of its organelles , and subsequently the partitioning of its cytoplasm, chromosomes and other ...

   Light micrograph of a moss's leaf cells at 400X magnification. The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to cell biology: . Cell biology – A branch of biology that includes study of cells regarding their physiological properties, structure, and function; the organelles they contain; interactions with their environment; and their life cycle, division, and death.

7. Septum (cell biology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septum_(cell_biology)

   A septum in cell biology is the new cell wall that forms between two daughter cells as a result of cell division. [1] Cell division is an extremely complex process that contains four different subprocesses. [2] These processes included the growth of a cell, DNA replication, the process of allocating replicated chromosomes to daughter cells, and ...

8. Mitosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitosis

   a. non-dividing cells b. nuclei preparing for division (spireme-stage) c. dividing cells showing mitotic figures e. pair of daughter-cells shortly after division. Mitosis (/ m aɪ ˈ t oʊ s ɪ s /) is a part of the cell cycle in which replicated chromosomes are separated into two new nuclei.

9. Cell theory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_theory

   All living cells arise from pre-existing cells by division. The cell is the fundamental unit of structure and function in all living organisms. [14] The activity of an organism depends on the total activity of independent cells. [15] Energy flow (metabolism and biochemistry) occurs within cells. Cells contain DNA which is found specifically in ...
