The Cell Cycle
You begin life as a single cell, a zygote. This cell divided many times, and the cells which were produced became specialised to form all the different types of cells which make up your tissues and organs. ... At a certain point in its life, a cell divides into two smaller cells, which in turn grow and divide once more. ... Every cell in your body, though, has an exact copy of your very own DNA. ... a nerve cell.
A human body cell contains 46 chromosomes. ... If you think of chromosomes as a way of packaging DNA, then mitosis is a way of making sure that the chromosomes and the DNA they contain are split equally when a cell divides.
The cell cycle has two main stages interphase and cell division.
