The cell cycle refers to the continuing series of divisions alternating with cell growth: interphase�mitosis�interphase�mitosis�interphase. Cells multiply to make an organism bigger, to repair damage, or to multiply the number of organisms of that kind. A cell divides into two daughter cells tht are genetically identical to the original cell and to each other. Mitosis is the name for the kind of cell division that produces a greater number of cells = cell multiplication after division, the daughter cells are about half the size of their parent, and they grow before division occurs again.
