Q

Cell cycle

A

Cell growth
Temporary cell resting period or the cell stops dividing
DNA synthesis the chromosomes are now double stranded
Further growth occurs and the
DNA is checked for errors
The cytoplasm separates - two cells are formed

Q

Mitosis process

A

The cell begins to divide
The DNA replicates to form two copies of each chromosome
The nuclear membrane breaks down. The chromosomes line up across the centre of the cell
One set of chromosomes is pulled to each end of the cell and the nucleus divides
The cytoplasm and cell membranes divide to form two identical cells
