THE FOEMATION OF NEW CELLS. 43.—There are two essentially different ways in which cells originate, viz., (1) by the division of a protoplasmic body into two or more bodies; (2) by the union of two or more protoplasmic bodies. 44.—Cell-Formation by Division. The simplest cases of the formation of cells by division occur in the Myxomy- cetes. The swarm-spores {a, Fig 25), which are naked masses of freely moving protoplasm, first lose their nuclei (as in l), and then become constricted (as at c); the constriction deepens, and finally div

Most plant-cells, however, are surrounded by a wall, whose deportment during division enables us to distinguish two begun ;rf,.,/, completion of "^^^^ ^r Icss Well-marked modes of ccll-formation by divisiou. On the one hand the wall divides as well as the protoplasm (Fissioji), while on the other the wall takes no part in the division, and it is only the protoplasm which divides (Liternal Cell-For- mation). 46.—The best examples of Fission are to be seen in those unicellular plants which have been frequently described iinder the name of Protococcus.'^ ^^The cell elongates and the protoplasm divides into two across its longer axis, and. •Division of the swarm-spores of Chondrioder- ma difforme; a, with nucleus ; &, nucleus dissolved ; c. two nuclei, division of protoplasm ^See "Huxley and Martin's Biology," Chap.
