Cell Reproduction -the process by which new cells are formed A.Single-celled organisms - one parent cell produces two new identical “daughter cells” - cell division results in population growth B. Multi-cellular organisms - two parent cells produce cells which receive half their genes from each parent - cell division results in growth of organism

Cell Reproduction- the process by which new cells are

formedA. Single-celled organisms- one parent cell produces two

new identical “daughter cells”- cell division results in population

growthB. Multi-cellular organisms- two parent cells produce cells

which receive half their genes from each parent

- cell division results in growth of organism

Life of a CellCell division is a continuous process that involves three stages:1. Interphase – growth and preparation2. Mitosis – division of the nucleus3. Cytokinesis – division of the cytoplasm and organelles
