A cell formed by the division or budding of another.
〔生〕子细胞
Example sentencesExamples
True stem cells are self-renewing during the lifetime of an organism and they undergo asymmetric division, so that one daughter cell maintains the stem-cell lineage while the other daughter cell matures into a specialized cell type.
Cell division and re-growth of daughter cells to the initial mother cell size results in a biomass increase of a factor of two.
These stem cells divide asymmetrically to form a new germline stem cell and a differentiated daughter cell, the cystoblast (cb).
Meiosis is a specialized cell division producing four daughter cells, each containing a haploid genome complement.
The presence of pheromone might induce cells to adopt a bipolar budding pattern similar to diploid cells in which daughter cells choose distal sites at a high frequency.
Since there is no fusion of two different cells, the daughter cells produced by asexual reproduction are genetically identical to the parent cell.
In one type of strategy the stem cell divides asymmetrically, so that one daughter remains a stem cell while the other daughter cell undergoes cell differentiation.
Whenever an infected cell divides, the episome makes a copy of itself, and each daughter cell receives one.
If recombination and pairing resulted in a daughter cell identical to its mother cell, then another nine possible granddaughter cells could be created in the next round of recombination.
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, migration of the mother cell nucleus to the bud neck before mitosis ensures that the daughter cell will contain one of the two sister nuclei.
The initial asymmetric division orientates the smaller daughter cell towards the apex of the leaf causing a uniform pattern of complexes to emerge, giving rise to the files of stomata typical of monocotyledonous leaves.
Separation of the chromatids at mitosis produced one daughter cell homozygous for the chromosome arm carrying an EMS-induced mutation.
Normally, when a stem cell divides, one daughter cell differentiates and leaves the niche, while another remains behind to re-populate the niche.
Karmellae are asymmetrically segregated at mitosis, such that the mother cell retains karmellae membranes and the daughter cell inherits an unelaborated ER structure.
In the absence of mutation, homoplasmic cells produce only homoplasmic daughter cells after mitotic cell divisions.
The correct segregation of sister chromatids to daughter cells during mitosis depends on the formation of a bipolar spindle composed primarily of microtubules (MTs).
Normally, stem in the Arabidopsis epidermis will divide asymmetrically into a smaller, daughter cell, which eventually form stomata, and a larger daughter cell.
As cells divide it is a necessity that the DNA be copied, in such a way that each daughter cell acquires the same amount of genetic material.
The daughter cell that receives Numb protein, the pIIb cell, ultimately produces the neuron and thecogen cell, whereas the pIIa cell is the precursor to the external support cells.
We assume that every mtDNA molecule has an equal chance of being partitioned to either daughter cell, regardless of where in the cell it is physically located.
