What must a cell do before it can divide to a new cell

Once it has copied all its DNA, a cell normally divides into two new cells. This process is called mitosis. Each new cell gets a complete copy of all the DNA, bundled up as 46 chromosomes. Cells that are making egg or sperm cells must divide in a different way.
