The Cell Cycle – Mitosis
What is happening inside the cell during asexual reproduction?
In order for a cell to divide, it must first grow and make a copy of every piece of DNA. It also must separate all
the chromosomes correctly so each new cell has a pair of each chromosome.
This entire process is called the CELL CYCLE.
There are 3 main parts: Interphase, Mitosis and Cytokinesis
1) Interphase
2) Mitosis
3) Cytokinesis

The Cell Cycle – Step by Step
(A) INTERPHASE
The cell is growing and producing new materials in preparation
for cell division. Each strand of DNA is replicating during
interphase. The DNA cannot be seen at this time as it is uncoiled
in the form of chromatin (the threads are too small to see)
DID YOU KNOW?
You replace your stomach lining cells every days, your skin cells
every days, your red blood cells every days, and your liver
cells every days.
The cell cycle for your skin cells only takes hours!
Some terminology:
DNA duplicates
(B) MITOSIS & CYTOKINESIS
• the process involving the separation and division of chromosomes (DNA) and other cell contents.
