  2. Cell division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_division

    Bacterial cell division happens through binary fission or through budding. The divisome is a protein complex in bacteria that is responsible for cell division, constriction of inner and outer membranes during division, and remodeling of the peptidoglycan cell wall at the division site.

  3. Fission (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fission_(biology)

    Binary fission of ciliate Colpidium, (a single-cell eukaryote) Fission, in biology, is the division of a single entity into two or more parts and the regeneration of those parts to separate entities resembling the original. The object experiencing fission is usually a cell, but the term may also refer to how organisms, bodies, populations, or ...

  4. Amitosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amitosis

    Amitosis, also known as karyostenosis, direct cell division, or binary fission, is a mode of asexual cell division primarily observed in prokaryotes.This process is distinct from other cell division mechanisms such as mitosis and meiosis, mainly because it bypasses the complexities associated with the mitotic apparatus, such as spindle formation.

  5. Septum (cell biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septum_(cell_biology)

    The process of bacterial cell division is defined as binary fission, where a bacterium splits to produce two daughter cells. [4] This division occurs during cytokinesis, which in bacteria is made possible due to the divisome (a specific large protein complex) and FtsZ (the ancestor to tubulin for bacteria that drives cytokinesis itself). [4]

  6. Cell (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(biology)

    Prokaryotic cells divide by binary fission, while eukaryotic cells usually undergo a process of nuclear division, called mitosis, followed by division of the cell, called cytokinesis. A diploid cell may also undergo meiosis to produce haploid cells, usually four.

  7. Cleavage furrow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleavage_furrow

    Cilliate undergoing the last processes of binary fission, with the cleavage furrow being clearly visible. In cell biology, the cleavage furrow is the indentation of the cell's surface that begins the progression of cleavage, by which animal and some algal cells undergo cytokinesis, the final splitting of the membrane, in the process of cell ...

  8. Bacterial growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_growth

    Bacterial growth is proliferation of bacterium into two daughter cells, in a process called binary fission. Providing no mutation event occurs, the resulting daughter cells are genetically identical to the original cell. Hence, bacterial growth occurs. Both daughter cells from the division do not necessarily survive.

  9. Asexual reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexual_reproduction

    Multiple fission at the cellular level occurs in many protists, e.g. sporozoans and algae. The nucleus of the parent cell divides several times by mitosis, producing several nuclei. The cytoplasm then separates, creating multiple daughter cells. [5] [6] [7] In apicomplexans, multiple fission, or schizogony appears either as merogony, sporogony ...
