äidisolun

Äidisolun is a term used in Estonian to refer to a mother cell. In biology, a mother cell is a cell that undergoes cell division to produce daughter cells. This process, known as mitosis or meiosis, is fundamental to growth, repair, and reproduction in living organisms. During cell division, the äidisolun duplicates its genetic material and then divides into two or more identical or similar daughter cells. The term is often used in contexts discussing stem cells, where a stem cell can divide to produce another stem cell (self-renewal) and a more differentiated cell, or in reproductive biology when discussing germline cells. The concept of an äidisolun is central to understanding how tissues develop and maintain themselves.
