... two reproductive categories: asexual (Mitosis) and sexual (Meiosis). (Solomon et al 2002). Every cell contains DNA, which is in fact the vital information (genetic code) needed to construct and maneuver a human body. DNA is structured into units called genes. An eukaryotic cell nucleus contains a lot of DNA ... is with human beings from one set of parents to the children. (Solomon et al 2002). Most cells both eukaryotic and prokaryotic divide through the Mitosis processes which is asexual. An example of this might be eukaryotic human skin cells and or prokaryotic bacteria; they replicate ...

... off, cells can't keep growing forever, so when they reach a certain size they will have to divide. Cells divide for four important reasons; reproduction, growth, repair, and replacement of damaged or worn out cells. Most cells divide at least once during their life cycle and some divide divide dozens of time times before they die. There are three types of cell division. They are binary ... fission, mitosis, and meiosis. When cell division is in the form of mitosis it is usually associated with cell growth, replacement, and repair. When the ... cell goes through meisosis it usually invo...

... called organelles that carryout various cell functions. And then there is the control center of the cell, the nucleus, surrounded by a protective outer covering call the nuclear membrane. The nucleus contains the DNA, or chromosomes, that carries all the instructions on how a cell will function, live, ... things. Cell reproduction is called mitosis. Mitosis is the process of a single cell dividing in two and then two more and so on. In mitosis, the pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus of the parent cell divide into two daughter cells. There are four phases of mitosis. In the first phase,...
