Cell division is a process by which parent cells divide into daughter cells. It gives rise to genetically identical cells in which the total number of chromosomes is maintained. The life of a cell begins with the formation of daughter cells. It involves a period of division and a non-dividing period.
Interphase is a period between two successive cell division. It is the longest phase of the cell cycle during which the cell doubles in size and its chromosome complement duplicates precisely. The preparatory period of the cell cycle has an S phase during which replication of DNA takes place. It is preceded by a G1 period characterized by the synthesis of substrates and enzymes necessary for DNA replication. Metabolic activities concerning the growth of cytoplasm, cell organelle and the formation of macromolecules are performed during the G2 period. The M phase is a continuous period in which two daughter cells identical to each other and to their parent is produced.
