Amitosis

Cell proliferation that does not occur by mitosis

Amitosis, also known as karyostenosis, direct cell division, or binary fission, is a mode of asexual cell division primarily observed in prokaryotes. This process is distinct from other cell division mechanisms such as mitosis and meiosis, mainly because it bypasses the complexities associated with the mitotic apparatus, such as spindle formation. Additionally, amitosis does not involve the condensation of chromatin into distinct chromosomes before the cell divides, thereby simplifying the process of cellular replication.
