The two daughter-cells, produced by the complete division of the two nuclear halves (cytosomata still connected at the equator) (Double-knot, Dispirema), with Upper daughter-nucleus, Equatorial constriction of the cell-body and Lower daughter-nucleus.) The intricate physiological processes which accompany this "mitosis" have been very closely studied of late years.

Between this common mitosis, or indirect cell-division--which is the normal cleavage-process in most cells of the higher animals and plants--and the simple direct division (Figure 1.10) we find every grade of segmentation; in some circumstances even one kind of division may be converted into another.

The indirect (or “mitotic”) cleavage is much more frequent; in this the caryoplasm of the nucleus and the cytoplasm of the cell-body act upon each other in a peculiar way, with a partial dissolution (_caryolysis_), the formation of knots and loops (_mitosis_), and a movement of the halved plasma-particles towards two mutually repulsive poles of attraction (_caryokinesis,_ Fig.

Between this common mitosis, or _indirect_ cell-division—which is the normal cleavage-process in most cells of the higher animals and plants—and the simple _ direct_ division (Fig.

See A-not, and Mitosis.] (Biol.) Defn: Cell division in which there is first a simple cleavage of the nucleus without change in its structure (such as the formation of chromosomes), followed by the division of the cytoplasm; direct cell division; -- opposed to mitosis.
