3.1 THE CONCEPT OF CELL DIVISION 3.2 THE CELL CYCLE 3.3 MITOSIS 3.4 MEIOSIS



Related to the theory of cells Rudolph virchow ; 1855 stated; „Omnis cellula e cellula‟ Every cell is from a cell or “All new cells are derived from other cells”

A cell (daughter cell) is originated from another cell ( ) through .  In cell division, is inherited from one generation to the next.  Involve the distribution of genetic material (DNA) to each daughter cell.




A dividing cell….. ◦ DNA its chromosome ; its  The division of cells in the body are strictly regulated by a control mechanisms  The division of cells that do not follow the control mechanisms will produce “tumor cells”

◦ Equal distribution of genetic material to opposite ends of cell ◦ One cell splits into 2 daughter cells by
