Cell Division Questions to consider… Where? Why? How?

Cell Division • Eukaryotic cells utilize two types of cell division: • mitosis •

Cell Division • Eukaryotic cells utilize two types of cell division: • mitosis • meiosis Mitosis in everything else Meiosis in sexual reproduction.

Why Divide? • To replace dead or dying cell • To produce more cells

Why Divide? • To replace dead or dying cell • To produce more cells to enlarge the organism • Reproduction

Binary Fission • asexual reproduction used by most prokaryotes and protists • Results in the reproduction of a livingcellby division into two equal or nearequal parts.
