Cell Cycle

It is a series of events that a cell goes through as it grows and divides.

It is the process in which one cell, called the parent cell, divides to form two new cells, referred to as daughter cells

mitIt is a part of the cell cycle in which replicated chromosomes are separated into two new nuclei.

is an equational division which gives rise to genetically identical cells in which the total number of chromosomes is maintained.

Mitosis was first discovered in plant cells by

discovered it in animal cells. The term mitosis was coined by-----------

The cells’ organelles perform their functions and metabolic activities for survival

The cell grows and develops and manufactures proteins

The chromosomes duplicate for cell division to ensure that the daughter cells would have appropriate numbers of genetic materials.

also called the first gap phase, the cell grows physically larger, copies organelles, and makes the molecular building blocks it will need in later steps
