Cell Division
Definition of Cell Division as it relates to Science, Genetics, Mutation
Cell Division refers to the process by which cells replicate their genetic material and divide into two identical daughter cells. It is a fundamental aspect of genetics, as it enables the transmission of genetic information from one generation to the next. In the context of mutation, cell division plays a critical role, as errors in DNA replication during this process can lead to the formation of mutated cells with altered genetic material. This subcategory explores the mechanisms of cell division, its regulation, and how it relates to genetic mutations.
