Cell division is a process in which a cell divides (roughly equally) to give two daughter cells. Therefore, there have to be two copies of the genome even before mitosis begins. When we look at the cell cycle, there are four distinct phases: G1, S, G2 and M. The S phase is where the DNA replicates. Once there are two copies in the genome, the cell goes through the G2 phase and then enters the M (mitosis) phase.

What happens to a cell's DNA prior to cell division?
It replicates.
A cell shows formation of a contractile ring just prior to cytoplasmic division Which cell is being observed?
Human fetal cells show formation of a contractile ring just prior to cytoplasmic division.
What happens to living organisms if cell division is not controlled?
Cancer happens if the cells divide too fast.
Stages of cell division?
the stages of cell divsion are mitosis and cytokinsis... this happens when a parent cell divides into genetically identical cells called daugther cells.
Where in human body is cell division take place?
Since cells like brain cells, general nerve cells, and heart cells cannot replace themselves, cell division happens basically everywhere except those places.
What happens to a cell's DNA prior to cell division?
It replicates.
What happens after cell division?
The new cells enter into interphase.
What do you mean by cell divisions?
Cell division is when the parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells. This all happens during cell cycle. A process in which formation of new cell by the division of the preexisting cells take place is known as cell division A process in which formation of new cell by the division of the preexisting cells take place is known as cell division
Where do cell division happens in human?
Wherever ever there are cells, cell divisions will occur.

What is cytokensis?
the process that divides a cells cytoplasm.
How can mutation occurs in cells?
Mutations can be inherited. This means that if a parent has a mutation in his or her DNA, then the mutation is passed on to his or her children.Mutations can be acquired. This happens when environmental agents damage DNA, or when mistakes occur when a cell copies its DNA prior to cell division.
After mitosis is completed what happens to the original cell?
Nothing really happens to a cell after mitosis. The cell itself undergoes division to produce two new cells with the same number of chromosomes as it did before division. So, nothing really is left of the cell after division or mitosis.
Where in human body is cell division take place?
Since cells like brain cells, general nerve cells, and heart cells cannot replace themselves, cell division happens basically everywhere except those places.
Do xylem cells undergo cell division?
No, xylem cells are "dead" cells and therefore do not undergo cell division.
