Dapsone , a sulfone, belongs to the family of medicines called anti-infectives. Dapsone is used to treat leprosy (Hansen's disease) and to help control dermatitis herpetiformis, a skin problem. When it is used to treat leprosy, dapsone may be given with one or more other medicines. Dapsone may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Meiosis is necessary for sexual reproduction, which allows for greater genetic variation in a species. Single-celled organisms that reproduce by mitosis produce two identical daughter cells. Genetic variation only occurs by spontaneous mutations in the organism. By contrast, organisms that reproduce using sexual reproduction combine two sets of genetic material, one from the male and one from the female, to form offspring that are genetically distinct from their parents.
As a relatively short phase in the cell cycle, mitosis can be simply described as the multiplication of cells, without the need of undergoing sexual reproduction. Although the concept may seem to pose some complexity, mitosis is one important process among living beings. In the process of mitosis, the cell divides its contents, and eventually two cells emerge. Most single celled organisms such as plants, bacteria and fungi, undergo this type of reproduction. This one process is important because it enables the cells to reproduce and regenerate tissue in the body.
