Mitosis - Why does a lizard's tail grow back?

Explore the fascinating process of mitosis and its role in regeneration.

 

Mitosis is a fundamental process in cell biology where one cell divides into two identical daughter cells. This process plays a crucial role in the regeneration of tissues, such as a lizard's tail. When a lizard loses its tail, mitosis enables the rapid growth and regeneration of a new tail. Understanding mitosis is essential not only for understanding how organisms heal and regenerate but also for fields like medical research and tissue engineering.
