* In body cells, chromosones are found in pairs.
* Body cells divide in a series of stages called the cell cycle.
*During the cell cycle the genetic material is doubled. It then divides, forming two identical nuclei in a process called mitosis.
*Before a cell can divide it needs to grow, replicate the DNA to form two copies of each chromosone, and increase the number of sub cellular structures.
*In mitosis one set of chromosones is pulled to each end of the cell membranes divide to form two identical cells.
*Mitotic cell division is important in the growth, repair and development of multicellular organisims.
