that mitosis or meiosis occured.

Meiosis only happens in sex cells. Mitosis happens in all other cells. When mitosis happens the cell splits in two. Meiosis forms 4 cells, in females only one is an egg, in males all four are sperm. Meiosis goes twice through every stage, ie   metaphase.

Most mitotic cell divisions do result in daughter cells that are equal in size to the parent.  During interphase, the cellular material, like cytoplasm, is duplicated as well as the genetic material.  This is not the case for meiotic cell divisions, though, which yield cells that are certainly smaller than the parents, and it is not always the case in mitosis, like for example, in the developing blastula.

Mitosis is the formation of identical daughter cells, it has nothing to do with the interacting of "two" cells.  Plant cells have a different pinching off process when the one cell becomes two because of the cell walls.  Also animal cells have a structure called centrioles that does something in mitosis but I do NOT remember what it does...

Cell division or Mitosis is how your body replaces worn out cells.  All cells degrade over time, and if your body could not replace them, then you wouldn't live very long.  Partial cell division, or Meiosis(sp) is necessary for reproduction

mitosis:the process in cell division by which the nucleus divides, typically consisting of four stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.\n\nmeiosis: (genetics) cell division that produces reproductive cells in sexually reproducing organisms; the nucleus divides into four nuclei each containing half the chromosome number (leading to gametes in animals and spores in plants) \n\nosmosis:Transmission of fluids from one cell into another; foundation of metabolism, led by the concentration of salt within a cell. Water can penetrate cell membranes, and strives to, where the concentration of salt is highest, in order to equalize the salt concentration in the body.

Cell cleavage is multiplication of cells by fission. \n\nMitosis is the process in cell division by which the nucleus divides, typically consisting of four stages, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, and normally resulting in two new nuclei, each of which contains a complete copy of the parental chromosomes. It is also called karyokinesis. :)

Most mitotic cell divisions do result in daughter cells that are equal in size to the parent. During interphase, the cellular material, like cytoplasm, is duplicated as well as the genetic material. This is not the case for meiotic cell divisions, though, which yield cells that are certainly smaller than the parents, about 1/4 the size, and it is not always the case in mitosis, like for example, in the developing blastula.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:\nMitosis divides genetic information during cell division. A cell in early anaphaseMitosis is the process by which a cell separates its duplicated genome into two identical halves. It is generally followed immediately by cytokinesis which divides the cytoplasm and cell membrane. This results in two identical daughter cells with a roughly equal distribution of organelles and other cellular components. Mitosis and cytokinesis together is defined as the mitotic (M) phase of the cell cycle, the division of the mother cell into two daughter cells, each the genetic equivalent of the parent cell.

When cells want to reproduce, they douplicate thier dna, then each identicle set of dna move to separate ends of the cell and the cell begins to pinch together in the middle to divide the cytoplasm (the stuff that fills the cells) in two, creating two identicle cells to the original cell, each with their own set of dna. This process is called mitosis.

do you mean what processes cells must undergo? \n\nIf that's your question, then the processes would be cell division by mitosis (to produce more cells, so that organism can increase in size/length), cell elongation(this occurs mainly in plants via vacuolation and thus aids in increase in size and length) and cell differentiation(this allows genes to be switched on or off so that certain traits/phenotypes can be expressed, eg. gene that codes for blue eyes switched on for cell in the eye and not elsewhere like cell on the hand/feet). Hope this answers your question.

Cell replacement is accomplished by cell division, which makes more cells to replace cells that have been damaged by wear and tear or senescence (cells growing old and failing to function).\n\nIn some cases, a single cell of a certain type can divide to give rise to two daughter cells of the same type. This process allows one cell to replace cells of its own type. For example, a liver cell can divide to generate two liver cells. Another example is endothelial cells, which line the inside of our blood vessels; a single endothelial cell will duplicate itself by dividing into two cells.\n\nIn another case, a special kind of cell, called a stem cell, is used for cell replacement. These cells also divide into two daughter cells. Some of these daughter cells become stem cells that resemble the mother cell. Other daughter cells become the cell type that needs to be replaced. For instance, our skin contains stem cells called basal cells. These basal cells divide into daughter cells. Some of the daughter cells become basal cells that retain the ability to divide, and other daughter cells become specialized into skin cells. That way, some of the cells are used for cell replacement, while other cells retain the ability to divide in the future so that we don't run out of skin cells.\n\nIn still another case, a single cell called a pluripotent stem cell can divide to generate—and thus replace—lots of different cell types. For example, our bone marrow contains cells called hemopoietic stem cells that can divide to generate the whole range of blood cells. A single hemopoietic stem cell can divide several times to generate red blood cells as well as different kinds of white blood cells.\n\nThe rates at which cells are replaced vary quite a bit. For example, in the inner lining of the small intestine, cells turn over in a week or less. In the pancreas, the turnover time may be as long as a year or more.\n\nSometimes the rate of cell division to replace cells depends on the state or size of the tissue. Liver cells rarely divide, but if there is injury to the liver and the liver is somehow reduced, liver cells will divide to get the liver back to the right size. Similarly, in the skin, the basal cells will divide only to keep the skin at a certain thickness. If the outer layers of dead skin peel away more frequently, the basal cells on the inside will divide more frequently to make up for the lost skin. If a person takes good care of his or her skin and there is little damage and fewer cells to replace, the basal cells will reduce the frequency of division.

Definitely b...\nDuring Interphase, there are 3 subphases - G1, S, and G2.  G1 is for growth of the cell, S is for synthesis of an extra set of chromosomes (amount of DNA in cells), and G2 is for preparation for the rest of cell division.  After interphase is prophase (nuclear membrane dissolves and DNA bundles up), then metaphase (DNA lines up on the center of the cell), anaphase (DNA separates towards poles), and telophase (Cell divides into two cells).  I hope this helps!\n\nAnswer: b. between the G1 and G2 phases of the cell cycle

remember the phases in meiosis (in order) :Prophase, Metaphase, anaphase, telephase (pmat)\nMitosis\nI  INTRODUCTION \n\nMitosis, process in which a cell’s nucleus replicates and divides in preparation for division of the cell. Mitosis results in two cells that are genetically identical, a necessary condition for the normal functioning of virtually all cells. Mitosis is vital for growth; for repair and replacement of damaged or worn out cells; and for asexual reproduction, or reproduction without eggs and sperm.\n\nAll multicellular animals, plants, fungi, and protists, which begin life as single cells, carry out mitosis to develop into complex organisms containing billions of cells. Mitosis continues in full-grown organisms as a means of maintaining the organism—replacing dying skin cells, for example, or repairing damaged muscle cells. In the cells of the adult human body, mitosis occurs about 25 million times per second. Multicellular organisms such as sea stars, sea anemones, fungi, and certain plants rely on mitosis for asexual reproduction at particular stages in their life cycles, and mitosis is the sole mode of reproduction for many single-celled organisms.\n\nII  INTERPHASE \n\nThe life cycle of eukaryotic cells, or cells containing a nucleus, is a continuous process typically divided into three phases for ease of understanding: interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis. Interphase includes three stages, referred to as G1, S and G2. In G1, a newly formed cell synthesizes materials needed for cell growth. In the S stage, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the genetic material of the cell, is replicated. At this stage, DNA consists of long, thin strands called chromatin. As each strand is replicated, it is linked to its duplicate by a structure known as a centromere. When the S stage is complete, the cell enters a brief stage known as G2, when specialized enzymes correct any errors in the newly synthesized DNA, and proteins involved with the next phase, mitosis, are synthesized. \n\nIII  MITOSIS \n\nMitosis occurs in four steps. In prophase the replicated, linked DNA strands slowly wrap around proteins that in turn coil and condense into two short, thick, rodlike structures called chromatids, attached by the centromere. Two structures called centrioles, both located on one side of the nucleus, separate and move toward opposite poles of the cell. As the centrioles move apart, they begin to radiate thin, hollow, proteins called microtubules. The microtubules arrange themselves in the shape of a football, or spindle, that spans the cell, with the widest part at the center of the cell and the narrower ends at opposite poles. As the spindle forms, the nuclear membrane breaks down into tiny sacs or vesicles that are dispersed in the cytoplasm. Final disintegration of the membrane marks the beginning of metaphase. \n\nIn metaphase, the spindle fibers attach to the chromatids near the centromeres, and tug and push the chromatids so that they line up in the equatorial plane of the cell halfway between the poles. Like two individuals standing back to back at the equator, one chromatid faces one pole of the cell, and its linked partner faces the opposite pole. This precise orientation is necessary in order for the next step, anaphase, to occur. Anaphase begins when the centromeres split, separating the identical chromatids into single chromosomes, which then move along the spindle fibers to opposite poles of the cell. \n\nAs these two identical groups of single chromosomes gather at opposite poles of the cell, telophase begins. A new nuclear membrane forms around each new group of chromosomes. The spindle fibers break down and the newly formed chromosomes begin to unwind. If viewed under a light microscope, the chromosomes appear to fade away. They exist, however, in the form of chromatin, the extended, thin strands of DNA too fine to be seen except with electron microscopes. Mitosis accomplishes replication and division of the nucleus,

When a cell divides you get a new cell. There are actually four main stages of cell division. They are:\nProphase\nMetaphase\nAnaphase\nTelophase.\n\nIf you want more information, I would suggest trying Wikipedia, or your local library.

Because mitosis is the process where cells divide to perform such activities like cell replacement and repair. Their environment is fairly stable and not dangerous/harmful so they rarely divide. So the damaged cells can stay that way for life due to the slow/non-existent division of mitosis.

well if mitosis is the thing where they divide, then i dont think the nerve cells ever do.
