<p>Cell division is the process in which a parent cell divides to form two or more daughter cells. It is significant in the cell cycle for reproduction, growth and development, and tissue renewal. It ensures that each daughter cell receives an exact copy of the genetic material, DNA.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>The cell cycle consists of interphase, which includes growth phases (G1 and G2) and DNA synthesis, and the mitotic phase, which involves cell division. Interphase is the phase of normal cell activity, while the mitotic phase is the phase of cell division.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>The genetic information is packaged into chromosomes, which contain the cell's genome. It is significant for ensuring that each daughter cell receives an exact copy of the genetic material during cell division.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Cell division results in genetically identical daughter cells by ensuring that each daughter cell receives an exact copy of the genetic material, DNA, before they divide.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Cell division is significant for reproduction, as seen in the division of an amoeba into two cells. It is also important for growth and development, as well as tissue renewal, such as the formation of new blood cells from dividing cells in bone marrow.</p> Signup and view all the answers
