The Cell Cycle & Mitosis

• Cell division is fundamental for the growth and development of organisms, and for the maintenance of tissues and organs throughout life.

• In this Lesson, we will learn about the details of mitotic cell division and how it fits into the cell cycle.

• We’ll take a look at why eukaryotic cells require mitotic division, and then explore the details of the cell cycle and its regulation, specifically the mechanics of mitosis and cytokinesis.
