cell divisions
How organisms grow
Cell divisions is the plural of cell division, the biological process by which a single cell splits into two or more daughter cells.
This is how organisms grow, repair tissue, and reproduce.
The two main types are mitosis (producing identical copies) and meiosis (producing sex cells with half the genetic material).
The rapid cell divisions of cancer cells make tumors grow quickly.
