One of those experiments was to look and draw the stages of mitosis as seen under a Microscope. This was amazing to me back in the day, and cemented the wonder of seeing cell division into my ...

In mitosis, two cells called daughter cells are produced, each identical to the parent cell. When looking at cells with a microscope, the length of different stages of the cell cycle can be ...

Most cells grow, perform the activities needed to survive, and divide to create new cells. These basic processes, known collectively as the cell cycle, are repeated throughout the life of a cell.
