the function of cell division in unicellular organisms?
reproduction
for simple unicellular microorganisms such as the amoeba, one cell division is equivalent to reproduction – an entire new organism is created. on a larger scale, mitotic cell division can create progeny from multicellular organisms, such as plants that grow from cuttings. mitotic cell division enables sexually reproducing organisms to develop from the one-celled zygote, which itself was produced by meiotic cell division from gametes. after growth, cell division by mitosis allows for continual construction and repair of the organism. the human body experiences about 10 quadrillion cell divisions in a lifetime.

unicellular organism









































a unicellular organism, also known as a single-celled organism, is an organism that consists of only one cell, unlike a multicellular organism that consists of more than one cell. unicellular organisms fall into two general categories: prokaryotic organisms and eukaryotic organisms. prokaryotes include bacteria and archaea. many eukaryotes are multicellular, but the group includes the protozoa, unicellular algae, and unicellular fungi. unicellular organisms are thought to be the oldest form of life, with early protocells possibly emerging 3.8–4 billion years ago.
