   Endogenous multiplication (Biol.), 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
      Segmentation, and Illust. of Cell Division, under
      Division). This mode of growth is characteristic of many
      forms of cells, both animal and vegetable.
      [1913 Webster]
