    Yes, through dividing by the inverse of a whole number.

    Mitosis is used for almost all of your body’s cell division needs. It adds new cells during development and replaces old and worn-out cells throughout your life. The goal of mitosis is to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to their mothers, with not a single chromosome more or less.

    I figured you would get this from someone.  If the reciprocal hadn't been referred to in the first answer, I might have gone with that.

    Yes, bacteria. That's why sergeants don't have mothers - all bacteria reproduce by fission (Heinlein).

    All living cells, in fact, not just cancer ones.

    If a woman divides her legs, pretty soon she'll multiply.
