Definition[edit | edit source]

Asymmetric segregation refers to the unequal distribution of cellular components or factors during cell division, resulting in daughter cells with different characteristics. This process plays a key role in cell fate determination and differentiation in various organisms. For example, during stem cell division, asymmetric segregation can lead to one daughter cell retaining stem cell properties while the other becomes more specialized. This mechanism helps to generate cellular diversity and maintain tissue homeostasis in multicellular organisms.

 ===== Definition =====
-Both voluntary and involuntary forces commonly contribute to the [[residential segregation]] between groups. For the most part, the contribution of each dimension has not been determined. Instead, researchers operate as if one or the other force is operating. In the United States, for example, black-[[white segregation]] is assumed to be imposed by whites on blacks, as if the latter were themselves totally indifferent to the racial composition in their areas of residence.
+Asymmetric segregation refers to the unequal distribution of cellular components or factors during cell division, resulting in daughter cells with different characteristics.

For example, during stem cell division, asymmetric segregation can lead to one daughter cell retaining stem cell properties while the other becomes more specialized. This mechanism helps to generate cellular diversity and maintain tissue homeostasis in multicellular organisms.
-On the other hand, it is assumed that segregation between white ethnic groups is, at present, purely a voluntary matter. In an earlier period, it was assumed that their segregation was voluntary (reflecting desires to be among compatriots) and involuntary (reflecting the imposition of restrictions on residential movement by other groups and economic forces). However, it has not been possible for investigators to determine the relative importance of each factor. The relative importance of voluntary and involuntary forces operates to generate different levels of segregation, e.g., in Black, Anglo, and Spanish residential patterns. <ref>Lieberson S., Carter D.K.
