  • what do all multicellular eukaryotic cells need
    they constantly need new cells, meaning they need to constantly divide
  • why do these cells need new cells
    growth, development and repair
  • what organisms constantly need to be doing cell division especially
    younger organisms as they haven't fully developed and cell division helps them grow
  • what are new cells also needed for
    to replace old ones
  • what is an example of cells that constantly need replacing
    skin cells - old ones shed and new ones replaces them
  • what organisms constantly need their cells replaced especially
    older organisms
  • what happens when a cell isn't dividing
    the DNA spreads out into long strings
  • what happens to the DNA when preparing for division
    the DNA condenses into chromosomes
  • what happens as cells continue to prepare for division
