The Cell Cycle & Mitosis

What is the cell cycle?

• Events leading up to protein synthesis in a cell
• Repeating sequence of events where cells grow and divide
• Steps that describe how plants perform photosynthesis
• Repeating events where cells evolve into new species

What is the purpose of mitosis?

• To increase the surface area of a cell
• To allow cells to divide for growth, repair, and renewal
• For increasing genetic variation within a species
• To allow for DNA replication and protein synthesis
