[edit] Info from Cell (biology) to be included
The following info was dumped on Cell (biology). Please read it and see if it needs to be included in this article. I personally suspect it to be a description of mitosis. Striked through info was included in mitosis article after all. -- [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 08:52, Oct 21, 2004 (UTC) Cell Division: The series of processes by which a cell divides into two or more cells. The stages of cell division: in order Cytokinesis: Cytoplasm divides. 2 daughter cells form.
Interphase: DNA is copied. Chromatin present. Centrioles present.
Prophase: Chromatin forms chromosomes. Nuclear membrane disappear.
Metaphase: Chromosomes are guided by centrioles and line up down the center of the cell.
Anaphase: Chromosomes split in half and start moving away from the center of cell.
Telephase: Chromosomes form chromatin again. 2 nuclear membranes form.
Daughter cells: the new cells formed by cell division
Chromatin: long tangled strands of DNA.
Chromosomes: DNA arranged in a neat “X” shape
Centrioles: The particles that move the organelles and DNA during cell division.
Something should be added about the history and discovery of cell division. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.88.193.199 (talk) 15:41, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Telomeres
It should be noted that normal cells do indeed have a system to restore telomeres. As said, these wear out after some 52 divisions. A repair system is needed because otherwise cells would die in mere months. This is particularly true of lower intestine cells, for example.
The info on telomerase being absent in normal cells is wrong. Redmess 11:53, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
-I think it is not. Only stem cells still have telomerase. Differentiated cells don't => it's not possible to make infinite coltures with differentiated cells. --ITookUrNick 16:55, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Mitosis
Shouldn't this article be part of the above? Just asking... --Stormbay 18:00, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
I trhought that thyis gave iinformational things i would expiereement a little more

[edit] daughter cells
it would be nice if science were less sexually biased. a cell, when it divides, should yield child cells, not daughter cells or son cells. 68.247.60.74 (talk) 01:29, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
