#cell_division__cellular_division the process in reproduction and growth by which a cell divides to form daughter cells
supertype: #organic_process__organicproces__biological_process a process occurring in living organisms
subtype: #amitosis the direct method of cell division characterized by simple division of the nucleus without formation of chromosomes
subtype: #segmentation__cleavage (embryology) the repeated division of a fertilised ovum
subtype: #meiosis__miosis__reduction_division__reductiondivision (genetics) cell division that produces reproductive cells in sexually reproducing organisms; the nucleus divides into four nuclei each containing half the chromosome number (leading to gametes in animals and spores in plants)
subtype: #nondisjunction meiosis in which there is a failure of paired homologous chromosomes to separate; results in an abnormal number of chromosomes in the daughter cells
subtype: #mitosis__mitosi cell division in which the nucleus divides into nuclei containing the same number of chromosomes
