Cell Division
Purpose : heal
wounds, replace
damaged cells, and help tissues and
organs grow.
The Steps of Cell Division
the DNA in the nucleus first must be
copied
then each copy must be split into each of
two new daughter cells,
and finally the original parent cell must be
divided in half to form the two separate
daughter cells.
DNA Forms during the cell cycles
Uncondensed in interphase
Condensed in Mitosis
DNA Splitting
The DNA duplicated during interphase
