could anybody be kind to explain what is cell division to me please? i only know is that its chromotins duplicated.
Cell Division: An Overview for Beginners
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
Cell division is the biological process where a single cell duplicates its DNA and cellular structures, ultimately splitting into two daughter cells. This process allows for exponential growth, as each daughter cell can repeat the division cycle. The discussion highlights that understanding cell division requires knowledge of various cell types, including bacterial, yeast, and mammalian cells, as the mechanisms may differ. A comprehensive grasp of cell division encompasses both the preparatory and recovery processes that occur during and after division.
PREREQUISITES- Basic understanding of cellular biology
- Familiarity with DNA replication processes
- Knowledge of different cell types: bacterial, yeast, and mammalian
- Concept of exponential growth in biological systems
- Research the stages of mitosis and meiosis in mammalian cells
- Explore the differences in cell division mechanisms among bacteria and yeast
- Learn about the role of cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases in cell cycle regulation
- Investigate the implications of cell division in cancer biology
Students of biology, educators teaching cellular processes, and researchers interested in cell growth and reproduction mechanisms will benefit from this discussion.

hi no idea!
i think that question is to broad to reply here, maybe it is better that you do a google search. it will give you better understanding than anyone here can give, i think

Hmmm, it is sort of hard to understand on what level you want your question answered, so first of all I must say I agree with indoubt, google will answer that question better than us.
The first part of your question makes it sound like you want to know that a cell division is when a single cell duplicates all of it's DNA, cellular structures, and grows to a point where it splits in half, resulting in two daughter cells, both of which are then able to repeat this procedure time and time again. This is how cells reproduce. This is why cells grow at an exponential rate. 1 becomes 2, 2 becomes 4, 4 becomes 8 etc...
The second sentance implies that you do actually understand the obvious and that you want an in depth explanation of all of the things which happen at the point of division... which yeah, you could get a truck load of answers. Everything happens. In fact, most of everything that happens in a cell is either a preparation for division, or a racovery from division if it isn't the division process itself. Face it, the point of life is to reproduce.
Also, the answer to this question may also depend on what cell you want the information for. Bacteria (which one?), Yeast? Mamallian Cells? etc...
