This is Mitosis, which occurs with all nucleated somatic (body) cells, but not in germ (sex) cells.
Germ cells, aka gametes, on the other hand, undergo Meiosis, a process of nuclear cell division whereby 1 parent cell gives rise to 4 daughter cells. These daughter gametes, either sperm or egg cells, all have 1/2 the number of chromosomes as the original parent, termed "haploid." The genes of these gametes were also randomly assorted and crossed-over, allowing a shuffling of their chromosomes' genes.

arlik [135]

Answer:

Water, carbon dioxide, and oxygen are among the few simple molecules that can cross the cell membrane by diffusion (or a type of diffusion known as osmosis ). Diffusion is one principle method of movement of substances within cells, as well as the method for essential small molecules to cross the cell membrane.
