Remember the cell theory by Virchow that states that all cells come from pre existing cells, if a single cell dies, it can be replaced unless it's a brain cell.
Answer: Mitosis is a type of cell division in which one cell (the mother) divides to produce two new cells (the daughters) that are genetically identical to itself. In the context of the cell cycle, mitosis is the part of the division process in which the DNA of the cell's nucleus is split into two equal sets of chromosomes.
The great majority of the cell divisions that happen in your body involve mitosis. During development and growth, mitosis populates an organism’s body with cells, and throughout an organism’s life, it replaces old, worn-out cells with new ones. For single-celled eukaryotes like yeast, mitotic divisions are actually a form of reproduction, adding new individuals to the population.
In all of these cases, the “goal” of mitosis is to make sure that each daughter cell gets a perfect, full set of chromosomes. Cells with too few or too many chromosomes usually don’t function well: they may not survive, or they may even cause cancer. So, when cells undergo mitosis, they don’t just divide their DNA at random and toss it into piles for the two daughter cells. Instead, they split up their duplicated chromosomes in a carefully organized series of steps.
The viscosity of magma is determined by its silica content.
Basalt magma, on the one hand, which is often
of low viscosity, has a low silica content of approximately 50% or less. Rhyolite magma, on the other hand, has high viscosity due to the high silica content of
approximately 70% and more.
Gas content and temperatures of the magma are the other factors
that determine an explosive or
nonexplosive eruption. High temperatures
and high gas content (coupled with high viscosity)
cause violent explosions.
