Is it possible to split a cell in 2?

Question

Please give me a source I can refer to.

Answer 1

yes, cell divide by mitosis to form 2 identical genetic cell. the mitosis is essential in replacing dead cell, repairing damaged cell and increse number of cell in organism allow growth and development.

moreover, the cell also undergo meiosis which is occur in reproductive organ. the meiosis produce 4 daughter cell. this cause the genetic variation in the cell due to crossing over between non-sister chromatids during prophase 1,

reference:u can search relating info on cell division

Answer 2

biology must really suck in school these days.

Answer 3

Yes.  For your concern, cells split via mitosis. theres also meiosis but thats when s*x cells split and it doesn't pertain to the answer.  Mitosis, cellular division, can be initiated by proteins called mitogens
