  2. Cell division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_division

    The cell cycle in eukaryotes: I = Interphase, M = Mitosis, G 0 = Gap 0, G 1 = Gap 1, G 2 = Gap 2, S = Synthesis, G 3 = Gap 3. Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two daughter cells. [1] Cell division usually occurs as part of a larger cell cycle in which the cell grows and replicates its chromosome (s) before dividing.

  3. 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_cell

    Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] In multicellular organisms, stem cells are undifferentiated or partially differentiated cells that can change into various types of cells and proliferate indefinitely to produce more of the same stem cell. They are the earliest type of cell in a cell lineage. [1] They are found in both embryonic and ...

  7. Cell division orientation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_division_orientation

    Implication for morphogenesis. Cell division orientation is one of the mechanisms that shapes tissue during development and morphogenesis. Along with cell shape changes, cell rearrangements, apoptosis and growth, oriented cell division modifies the geometry and topology of live tissue in order to create new organs and shape the organisms.

  8. Cell proliferation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_proliferation

    Cell proliferation is the process by which a cell grows and divides to produce two daughter cells. [1][2][3][4] Cell proliferation leads to an exponential increase in cell number and is therefore a rapid mechanism of tissue growth. Cell proliferation requires both cell growth and cell division to occur at the same time, such that the average ...

  9. DNA replication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_replication

    The replication fork is a structure that forms within the long helical DNA during DNA replication. It is produced by enzymes called helicases that break the hydrogen bonds that hold the DNA strands together in a helix. The resulting structure has two branching "prongs", each one made up of a single strand of DNA.
