When a single cell divides into two or more cells, we say that cell division has occurred. The single cell that divides itself is known as a parent cell or parental cell. The resulting cells from the parent cell are known as daughter cells. A cell cycle can be defined as the sequence of events in which cell synthesizes the other constituents of cells by duplicating themselves and eventually dividing themselves into daughter cells.
Interphase:
It includes 4 phases:
Phase in which actual cell division occurs. In this phase, identical daughters are formed by cell division of their same constituents.
Cell Division
Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes.
