What is "cells divide?

Cells divide is a fundamental process of life. It is the process in which one cell divides into two or more daughter cells. Cell division is an essential mechanism for both growth and repair of tissues, as well as for reproduction, allowing a single cell to give rise to an entire organism. There are two types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is the process of cell division in which one cell divides into two identical daughter cells. Meiosis is the process of cell division that occurs in the production of gametes (eggs and sperm) and involves a reduction in the number of chromosomes from 46 (in humans) to 23. Both types of cell division involve a series of complex steps, including DNA replication, chromosome segregation, and cell differentiation. Dysregulation of cell division is a hallmark of cancer, where cells divide uncontrollably and invade healthy tissues. Understanding the mechanisms of cell division is critical for developing new therapies for cancer and other diseases.
