Unlike regular mitosis, no spindles are involved in amitosis.

C. uncinata goes through asexual reproduction for cell division and duplication called amitosis.

During reproduction, the macronucleus splits by a type of amitosis, and the micronuclei undergo mitosis.

The germ-line nucleus goes through mitosis during asexual division while the somatic nucleus undergoes amitosis.

Division of the macronucleus occurs by amitosis and the segregation of the chromosomes occurs by a process whose mechanism is unknown.

The class Karyorelictea are characterised by an inability to replicate the macronucleus, a process called amitosis, which must be re-synthesized from the micronucleus every cell division.

His doctoral thesis, Untersuchungen über das Verhältnis der von Arnold beschriebenen Kernformen zur Mitose und Amitose (Investigations into the relationship of the nuclear forms described by Arnold to mitosis and amitosis), was an in-depth study of cell division.
