To reproduce a cell must copy and transmit its genetic information (DNA) to all of its progeny. Two strands of DNA are obtained from one, having produced tow daughter molecules which are identical to one another and to the parent molecule.

Step 1. An enzyme breaks the bonds between the nitrogen bases. The two

Step 2. The bases attached to each strand then pair up with new bases from a supply found in the cytoplasm. Adenine pairs with thymine. Cytosine pairs with guanine. The order of these pairs in each new strand of DNA will match the order of base pairs in the original DNA.

Step 3. Sugar and phosphate groups from the side of each new DNA strand. Each new DNA molecule now contains one strand of the original DNA and one new strand.

Interphase is preparation

Then comes Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and telophase

After all this is cytokinesis
