A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of a cell over time from an initial condition to a later condition. The process by which the anatomical structures of a cell projection are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The process by which anatomical structures are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The process by which a cell irreversibly increases in size in one [spatial] dimension or along one axis, resulting in the morphogenesis of the cell. The developmental process by which the size or shape of a cell is generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The change in cell shape that occurs during the vegetative growth phase. The vegetative growth phase is the growth phase during which single celled organisms reproduce by budding or other asexual methods. The change in form (cell shape and size) that occurs when relatively unspecialized cells, e.g. embryonic or regenerative cells, acquire specialized structural and/or functional features that characterize the cells, tissues, or organs of the mature organism or some other relatively stable phase of the organism's life history. Any cellular process that results in the specification, formation or maintenance of anisotropic intracellular organization or cell growth patterns. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cell morphogenesis. Cell morphogenesis is the developmental process by which the shape of a cell is generated and organized. The process by which a protrusion or bulge is formed at the site of plant root hair outgrowth. The process by which cellular structures, including whole cells or cell parts, are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. A cell cycle checkpoint observed when aspects of polarity control are defective, which maintains coordination between the process of cellular morphogenesis and the nuclear events of the cell cycle. For example, in budding yeast cell-cycle delay or arrest is induced when aspects of bud formation are defective. The change in form (cell shape and size) that occurs during sexual reproduction in order to facilitate direct contact between the compatible mating types. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a cellular component.
