Why is it important for both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells to go through cell division?
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

La división celular es una parte muy importante del ciclo celular en la que una célula inicial se divide para formar células hijas.1​Debido a la división celular se produce el crecimiento de los seres vivos. En los organismos pluricelulares este crecimiento se produce gracias al desarrollo de los tejidos y en los seres unicelulares mediante la reproducción asexual.

Los seres pluricelulares reemplazan su dotación celular gracias a la división celular y suele estar asociada con la diferenciación celular. En algunos animales la división celular se detiene en algún momento y las células acaban envejeciendo. Las células senescentes se deterioran y mueren debido al envejecimiento del cuerpo. Las células dejan de dividirse porque los telómeros se vuelven cada vez más cortos en cada división y no pueden proteger a los cromosomas como tal.

Las células hijas de las divisiones celulares, en el desarrollo temprano embrionario, contribuyen de forma desigual a la generación de los tejidos adultos.

Anastasy [175]

Two of the four major divisions in the geologic time scale are the Archean eon and proterozoic eon.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Arcean eon is dated from 3900 million years ago to 2500 million years ago. It was in this period the oldest known rocks were deposited.  At that time the atmosphere of earth was composed of  gases like methane, carbon monoxide, ammonia etc.  

The Proterozoic eon is dated from 2500 million years ago to 540 million years ago. It was by the end of Proterozoic era that the Eukaryotas came into existence.  

There are some similarities and differences between Archean eon and Proterozoic eon.  Stromatolites formed by the colonies of cyanobacteria lived in both the eras. This is one similarity between both the eras.  

The weather in the Archean era was hot and wet while the climate and weather of proterozoic era was different from this. Proterozoic era experienced two ice ages.
