Amitosis \Am`i*to"sis\, n. [NL. See {A-} not, and {Mitosis}.]
(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.
[Webster 1913 Suppl.]
From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:
amitosis
n 1: the direct method of cell division characterized by simple
division of the nucleus without formation of chromosomes
