  2. Mitosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitosis

    The mitosis process in the cells of eukaryotic organisms follows a similar pattern, but with variations in three main details. "Closed" and "open" mitosis can be distinguished on the basis of nuclear envelope remaining intact or breaking down. An intermediate form with partial degradation of the nuclear envelope is called "semiopen" mitosis.

  3. Asexual reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexual_reproduction

    Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes or change in the number of chromosomes. The offspring that arise by asexual reproduction from either unicellular or multicellular organisms inherit the full set of genes of their single parent and thus the newly created individual is genetically and ...

  4. Regeneration (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regeneration_(biology)

    Above the genetic level, regeneration is fundamentally regulated by asexual cellular processes. [9] Regeneration is different from reproduction. For example, hydra perform regeneration but reproduce by the method of budding. The regenerative process occurs in two multi-step phases: the preparation phase and the redevelopment phase.

  5. Reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproduction

    There are two forms of reproduction: asexual and sexual. In asexual reproduction, an organism can reproduce without the involvement of another organism. Asexual reproduction is not limited to single-celled organisms. The cloning of an organism is a form of asexual reproduction. By asexual reproduction, an organism creates a genetically similar ...

  6. Reproductive biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproductive_biology

    In asexual reproduction the generation of new organisms does not require the fusion sperm with an egg. [1] However, in sexual reproduction new organisms are formed by the fusion of haploid sperm and eggs resulting in what is known as the zygote. [1] Although animals exhibit both sexual and asexual reproduction the vast majority of animals ...

  7. Biological life cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_life_cycle

    However, these eukaryotes probably are not primitively asexual, but have lost their sexual reproduction, or it just was not observed yet. [27] [28] Many eukaryotes (including animals and plants) exhibit asexual reproduction, which may be facultative or obligate in the life cycle, with sexual reproduction occurring more or less frequently. [29]

  8. Neuronal cell cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuronal_cell_cycle

    The Neuronal cell cycle represents the life cycle of the biological cell, its creation, reproduction and eventual death. The process by which cells divide into two daughter cells is called mitosis. Once these cells are formed they enter G1, the phase in which many of the proteins needed to replicate DNA are made. After G1, the cells enter S ...

  9. G1 phase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G1_phase

    Mitosis in an animal cell (phases ordered counter-clockwise), with G 1 labeled at left. The G 1 phase, gap 1 phase, or growth 1 phase, is the first of four phases of the cell cycle that takes place in eukaryotic cell division. In this part of interphase, the cell synthesizes mRNA and proteins in
