Cell Division

1. 3 Types:
    A.Binary Fission- happens in prokaryotes. Simple, cell divides and Circular DNA is copied.
    B. Mitosis- happens in eukaryotes. Cyclic. Happens in Somatic Cells (Non-gamete producers). Used for growth and repair of tissue. Result: 2 identical Diploid (23 Pairs=46 Total, in Humans) daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell.
    C. Meiosis- eukaryotic. Not Cyclic. Happens in gamete producing cells. Used for reproduction. Result: 4 unique Haploid (1 of each of 23 Chromosomes) daughter cells that have 1/2 the information of the parent cell.
