Cell Division
- Viruses require a host cell to divide.
- Cells that have the ability to divide have a cell cycle.
- Let's look at the eukaryotic cell cycle
The cycle has two phases
- During interphase, the cell grows and DNA is replicated.
- During the mitotic phase, the replicated DNA and cytoplasmic contents are separated and the cell divides.
There are two types of cell division in eukaryotes.
