Cell Division
New cells are formed by cell division, it is vital that genetic information in the
parent cell gets passed on to the new cells.
● Mitosis: in mitosis chromosomes in the nucleus of the parent cell are divided
into two equal sets so that the nucleus in each new cell has exactly the same
number of chromosomes as the parent cell; this type of division occurs when
new cells are produced throughout the life of an living organism.
