Daughter Cell
A daughter cell refers to the cells that are produced as a result of cell division, either mitosis or meiosis.
Senses:
- Biology: In biology, daughter cells are formed during cell division when a parent cell divides into two or more cells, each containing identical genetic material.
- Microbiology: In microbiology, daughter cells are formed during the binary fission process when a bacterial cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
Examples:
- Example 1: During mitosis, a parent cell divides into two daughter cells.
- Example 2: Bacterial cell division involves the production of two daughter cells through binary fission.
- Example 3: In meiosis, daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
