  2. Asexual reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexual_reproduction

    The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae reproducing by budding. Some cells divide by budding (for example baker's yeast), resulting in a "mother" and a "daughter" cell that is initially smaller than the parent. Budding is also known on a multicellular level; an animal example is the hydra, [10] which reproduces by budding. The buds grow into fully ...

  3. Budding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budding

    Since the reproduction is asexual, the newly created organism is a clone and, excepting mutations, is genetically identical to the parent organism. Organisms such as hydra use regenerative cells for reproduction in the process of budding. In hydra, a bud develops as an outgrowth due to repeated cell division at one specific site.

  4. Yeast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeast

    The most common mode of vegetative growth in yeast is asexual reproduction by budding, [47] where a small bud (also known as a bleb or daughter cell) is formed on the parent cell. The nucleus of the parent cell splits into a daughter nucleus and migrates into the daughter cell.

  5. Meiosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meiosis

    CSF arrest might take place through regulation of the APC as part of the spindle assembly checkpoint. [52] In the budding yeast S. cerevisiae, Clb1 is the main meiotic regulatory cyclin, though Clb3 and Clb4 are also expressed during meiosis and activate a p34 cdc28-associated kinase immediately prior to the first meiotic division. [73]

  6. Parthenogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenogenesis

    Mature egg cells are produced by mitotic divisions, and these cells directly develop into embryos. In flowering plants, cells of the gametophyte can undergo this process. The offspring produced by apomictic parthenogenesis are full clones of their mother, as in aphids. [citation needed]

  7. Cell cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_cycle

    The cell cycle, or cell-division cycle, is the sequential series of events that take place in a cell that causes it to divide into two daughter cells. These events include the growth of the cell, duplication of its DNA ( DNA replication ) and some of its organelles , and subsequently the partitioning of its cytoplasm, chromosomes and other ...

  8. Reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproduction

    Reproduction (or procreation or breeding) is the biological process by which new individual organisms – "offspring" – are produced from their "parent" or parents. There are two forms of reproduction: asexual and sexual. In asexual reproduction, an organism can reproduce without the involvement of another organism.

  9. Cell division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_division

    The terminal cell elongates more than the deeper cells; then the production of a lateral bisector takes place in the inner fluid, which tends to divide the cell into two parts, of which the deeper one remains stationary, while the terminal part elongates again, forms a new inner partition, and so on.
