Cell division

Cell division

The separation of one cell into two daughter cells, involving both nuclear Division (mitosis) and subsequent cytoplasmic division (cytokinesis). The process in reproduction and growth by which a cell divides to form daughter cells.Also known as mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is cell replication, where two cells that are an exact copy of their parent cell are created. Meiosis is where four gamete cells are created from the parent cell, with half the chromosome compliment.

cell cloning by limiting dilution

I'm not sure I understand your question.. is this a question for cell synchronization? Cells are technical cloning themselves during division.. if you want single cell clones, try a single cell elution and they'll be synchronized ...

A question from Cloning

... is an extremely close symbiosis of an alga and a fungus the individual cells stay strictly as either fungal or algal cells; symbiosis does not form ... chromosomes and genes. That would pretty certainly prevent normal cell division. And also like MrMistery said, on enzymatical level there'd be ...
