Lecture Outline for Campbell/Reece Biology, 7th Edition, ? Pearson Education, Inc. 12-1 Chapter 12 The Cell Cycle Lecture Outline Overview: The Key Roles of Cell Division ? The ability of organisms to reproduce their kind is the one characteristic that best distinguishes living things from nonliving matter. ? The continuity of life is based on the reproduction of cells, or cell division. Cell division functions in reproduction, growth, and repair. ? The division of a unicellular organism reproduces an entire organism, increasing the population. ? Cell division on a larger scale can produce progeny for some multicellular organisms. ? This includes organisms that can grow by cuttings.
