Definition
{NoteAI} 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.
