The Fascinating Process of Cell Reproduction

🔬Living organisms reproduce through cell division, which is an essential process for life's continuity.

🌱The cell cycle consists of two main phases: interphase and mitosis.

📚Interphase is the longer phase of the cell cycle and consists of three subphases: G1, S, and G2.

⚙️During interphase, cells grow and replicate DNA, preparing for cell division.

🧬Mitosis is responsible for the growth and repair of tissues in multicellular organisms and consists of prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase stages.

What is cell division?

—Cell division is the process by which living organisms reproduce and create new cells.

What are the main phases of the cell cycle?

—The main phases of the cell cycle are interphase and mitosis.

What happens during interphase?

—During interphase, cells grow, replicate DNA, and prepare for cell division.

What is the purpose of mitosis?

—Mitosis is responsible for growth and repair of tissues in multicellular organisms.

How many stages are there in mitosis?

—Mitosis consists of five stages: prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
