  • what is cell division
    when one cell divides into two
  • what needs to happen for cell division to happen
    all the cells in the parent cell must duplicate before dividing
  • what do you call the original cell (the one dividing) and the result from the division
    the parent cell and daughter cell
  • does it matter whether the cell is in a male body
    no it still has to be called the daughter cell
  • what is the cycle that happens before cell division
    cell cycle
  • what is the first step in the cell cycle
    growth (G1)
  • what is the second step in the cell cycle
    DNA synthesis (S)
  • what is the third step in the cell cycle
    growth and prep for mitosis (G2)
  • what is the last step in the cell cycle
    mitosis (cell division)
  • what changes in the parent cell when duplicating to do cell division
    the cells increase the size for the genome and organelles to be replicated
