Division

the division of chromosomes previous to sexual reproduction in plants and animals in which the normal diploid, somatic number of chromosomes is reduced to the monoploid (haploid), single number; same as meiosis ...

Cell division is the biological basis of life. For simple unicellular organisms such as the Amoeba, one cell division reproduces an entire organism.

A nuclear division that produces daughter nuclei each having one-half as many centromeres as the parental nucleus. The first meiotic division reduces the number of chromosomes and centromeres to half that of the original cell.

The division of the cytoplasm of a cell into two daughter cells and it occurs during Telophase. See karyokinesis.

The division of labor is:
V regions are responsible for epitope recognition
C regions are responsible for triggering a useful response
So, V regions finger the culprit; the C regions take action.

Cell division
Related Terms: Mitosis
The most frequent process of nuclear division (karyokinesis) in cells that produces daughter cells that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent cell.

Cell division does not happen until damage is repaired.
Transcription signals a strand-preferential repair.
Recombination and DNA repair can be induced by DNA damage.

Cell division in multicellular organisms enables the organism to grow larger while the cells remain small. A large surface:volume ratio is due to small cell size.

Cell division was originally appreciated primarily from a microscopic observation. You could see things happening and you could see primarily the chromosomes of the cell that contain the DNA, condensing at one time in the cell cycle and segregating.

fission -- Division of single-celled organisms, especially prokaryotes, in which mitosis does not occur. Also used to refer to mitosis in certain unicellular fungi.
