What is direct cell division?
Open in App
Solution
Direct cell division:
It is the most basic type of cell division in which neither spindle formation nor fiber condensation occurs.
The nucleus divides into two immediately in this sort of division.
This sort of cell division does not result in the development of separate chromosomes.
Also, the absence of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase is observed.
Amitosis is another name for direct cell division.
In unicellular creatures such as protozoans and bacteria, it is a method of asexual reproduction.
