Examples

“Hydrogenosomes, like⟳ almost all other organelles, always grow⟳ by proliferation of preexisting organelles. Thus, each daughter cell will receive⟳ a complete⟳ set⟳ of organelles during cell division. Morphological evidence was presented showing that trichomonad hydrogenosomes, like⟳ mitochondria, may divide⟳ by three distinct processes: (1) segmentation, (2) heart-form division, and (3) partition. In the segmentation process⟳, the hydrogenosome grows, becoming elongated with the appearance of a constriction in the central portion[…]”
