 ami·to·sis /ˌemaɪˈtosəs/ 名詞
 (複amitoses)無絲分裂

From: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

 Am·i·to·sis n.  Biol. Cell division in which there is first a simple cleavage of the nucleus without change in its structure (such as the formation of chromosomes), followed by the division of the cytoplasm; direct cell division; -- opposed to mitosis. It is not the usual mode of division, and is believed by many to occur chiefly in highly specialized cells which are incapable of long-continued multiplication, in transitory structures, and in those in early stages of degeneration.
