Each of the two threadlike strands into which a chromosome divides longitudinally during cell division. Each contains a double helix of DNA.
|
|
Either of the two cells formed when a cell undergoes cell division by mitosis. They are genetically identical to the parent cell because they contain the same number and type of chromosomes.
|
|
A threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
|
|
The cell that divides to give rise to two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-1: -Fission: In this type the parent cell divides into two daughter cells and each cell develops into a new adult organism e.g. Amoeba.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is a fundamental process for life. During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -[ pâr′ənt ] A cell that is the source of other cells, as a cell that divides to produce two or more daughter cells, or a stem cell that is a progenitor of other cells or is the first in a line of developing cells. Also called mother cell.
Detailed explanation-4: -The organism or the parent cell divides into two to give rise to a new individual.
Detailed explanation-5: -When a cell divides, the outer membrane increasingly pinches inward until the new cells that are forming separate from each other. This process typically produces two new (daughter) cells from one (parent) cell. During cell division, the contents of the parent cell are copied and divided between the two daughter cells.
