Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Mitotic cell division is a method by which a single cell divides into two daughter cells. The two daughter cells each receive the genetic material present in the single parent cell. This duplication of a single cell into two occurs by a series of stages that is the life cycle of every single cell. The life cycle of every single cell begins and ends with cell division.
Mitosis is subdivided into five stages: Prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Some cells in your body frequently divide, while others in your body rarely, if ever, divide.
a. What type of cell frequently divides?
b. What type of cell infrequently divides?
c. How would the two cells differ in their interphase?
A biologist examines a series of cells and counts 160 cells in interphase, 20 cells in prophase, 6 cells in prometaphase, 2 cells in metaphase, 7 cells in anaphase, and 5 cells in telophase. If the complete cell cycle requires 24 hours, what is the average duration of the M phase in these cells? Of metaphase?
At which point in the cell cycle are cells the smallest? a. the beginning of G1 b. S c. G2 d. the beginning of mitosis
