cycle is a
precisely
series of timed and carefully regulated stages of growth/DNAreplication/
division thatcells progress through


interphase involves cell growth and replication
DNA



interphase is sub-divided into 3 growth stages:61/S/62
61involves cell growth
S involves DNA
synthesis
62 involves further cell
growth before mitotic phase


mitotic phase involves separation of replicated and
DNA cytoplasmic contents as the cell divides



enkaryotic cells divide produce
to 2 daughter cells with identical copies of DNA produced by
the parent cell during DNA
replication
multicellular organisms go through mitosis to grow and repair damaged tissues
