CELL CYCLE

==The cell cycle== Multicellular organisms rely on cellular division to generate new cells needed for growth and repair. The cell division cycle Can be divided into the following phases. [image:http://i.imgur.com/OAqIuOt.png] '''Interphase:''' during this phase the cell prepares for division by accumulating nutrients, duplicating cell contents, copying DNA and growing in size. This phase can be divided into two G (gap phases) and an S (synthesis) phase. '''Mitosis:''' during this phase the cell undergoes nuclear division. The two copies of the DNA are separated to opposite end of the cell. '''Cytokinesis''' This is the process by which daughter cells separate. The cell contents are divided and the two new daughter cells are formed. Some cells will stop dividing and enter a resting phase (cell cycle arrest).
