Descriptions. Colchicine is used to prevent or treat attacks of gout (also called gouty arthritis). This condition is caused by too much uric acid in the blood. An attack of gout occurs when uric acid causes inflammation (pain, redness, swelling, and heat) in a joint.he chance of serious side effects is much lower with the first (preventive) kind of treatment. Because some of colchicine's side effects can be very serious, you should discuss with your doctor about the benefits that this medicine can do as well as the risks of using it.
For many one-celled organisms, like bacteria, binary fission is the way to go. This is a type of asexual reproduction in which a cell divides into two cells. This is a fairly easy term to remember if you recall that the prefix 'bi' means two, like a bicycle has two wheels. The word 'fission' means dividing, so binary fission is literally dividing in two.
Asexual reproduction is a form of reproduction by which a single parent produces a progeny and the genes inherited are from that parent only. The offspring here are usually produced by mitosis. In this type of reproduction, the process of meiosis, reduction of chromosome number and fertilization does not takes place.
