Talk:Cell division

Evaluation and Ideas to Expand this Article
Overall, this is a well written article on cell division. The descriptions of each phase of the cell cycle are well organized and explained at a level that is mostly understandable to a layperson. I especially enjoyed the images that were used throughout the article, finding them not only visually appealing, but also accomplishing their purpose of providing visual representation of the topic they highlight.

With that being said, the article could benefit from expanding on several points. First, the cell cycle checkpoints could be illustrated further to highlight their importance in this process. Also, linking additional terms that a novice reader may not recognize to their respective Wikipedia articles could also be improved upon including the terms: cyclin, cyclin-dependent kinases, microtubule organizing center, kinetochores, and microtubules. Lastly, the history leading to the discovery and further understanding of cell division is lacking, and could be expanded upon with background on the experiments and individuals responsible for this work.

As part of my developmental biology course, I plan on improving this page in the manners previously described. Jgoode5470 (talk) 01:52, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

More than two?
In the first paragraph it's written "... divides into two or more cells." Is there any known process where a cell could split in more than 2 cells (apart from Meiosis, which consists in two successive divisions in two and thus results in 4 nuclei in the end)? Any hint woud be appreciated. &mdash; MFH:Talk 20:29, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Modifications
I reformulated and clarified the entire content of the "In eukaryotes" section. I did not delete any important information. I also added a picture of the cell cycle in the "Cell division" section and one of cell division in the "Phases of eukaryotic cell division" section. I made all of these changes because I thought that it would make these sections clearer and easier to understand. Additionally, visual aids are always helpful in doing so.

After reading the article I believe that this article has a good introductory sentence in the lead section which helps to sum up the article. I also believe that the article is well organized, and is nicely broken up into the sections of cell division. Everdin26 (talk) 01:00, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
