Cytotomy

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cytotomy is a cell division process in which a multinucleated cell divides asynchronously, so that daughter cells of different sizes arise. The process is used for asexual reproduction . An example of such a multiplying organism is the foraminifera species Allogromia laticollaris .
