2. Human skin is constantly producing new cells through cell division. How does this happen? During interphase, how does a cell prepare for division? Describe cell division, including the processes of mitosis and cytokinesis. Be sure to describe the mitotic steps.

Answer:

The skin cells are continuously being made through the process of mitosis. Mitosis can be described as a process by which all cells of the body continue to divide, except for the sex cells. The process of mitosis produces identical daughter cells as the parent cell.

During interphase, cells replicate it's DNA before starting the process of mitosis. Organelles and proteins are produced during this phase which are needed for cell division.

Cell division can be described as a process by which daughter cell divides into daughter cells.

Cytokinesis can be described as a process which occurs after cell division. By this process, the cytoplasm differentiates between the daughter cells.
