Cell Division Theory

Cell Division Theory refers to the process through which cells replicate to form new cells, ensuring growth and repair in living organisms. The primary types are mitosis, where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells for growth and tissue maintenance, and meiosis, which produces four genetically diverse cells for reproduction. This theory is fundamental to understanding biological processes such as development, healing, and inheritance. By studying how cells divide and how errors in this process can lead to diseases like cancer, scientists gain insights into life itself and its complexities.
