<cs><col>Endogenous multiplication</col> <fld>(Biol.)</fld>, <cd>a method of cell formation, seen in cells having a cell wall. The nucleus and protoplasm divide into two distinct masses; these in turn become divided and subdivided, each division becoming a new cell, until finally the original cell wall is ruptured and the new cells are liberated (see <er>Segmentation</er>, and <i>Illust<i>. of <i>Cell Division<i>, under <er>Division</er>). This mode of growth is characteristic of many forms of cells, both animal and vegetable.</cd></cs>
