What will happens when a cell divides?

It depends on the type of cell. If it is a tissue cell, then it will divide into two daughter cells through the process of mitosis. If it is a sex cell, a gamete, it will divide into four daughter cells by meiosis.

meiosis Meiosis is wrong, plant cells cytoplasm don't divide they form cell plates in between one cell creating a new cell.

What are the disadvantages for a cell that does not divide?

If a cell does not divide, and it is destroyed, it cannot grow back and you will have a cell shortage. Like the brain cell


What give the signal for a cell to divide in the Cell Cycle?

Well its more of the signals that say "dont go through mitosis" that prevents it from going through mitosis until conditions are right. this is mainly the fact that cells are so tightly squeezed together that they cannot go through mitosis until the one next to it dies or goes through apoptisis (programmed cell death). when a cell dies chemicals are released and sent to the surrounding cells to tell them to start dividing. otherwise a cell should continue dividing. though this doesnt mean cells are constantly dividing because in interphase there are various checkpoints of the cell division that tell the cell its ok to continue dividing. these checkpoints are G1, S, and G2. if the cell doesnt pass these checkpoints it goes into the G0 phase and does not divide.


What happens in miosis?

A cell divide into four sex cells with half of the chromosomes. Meiosis only occurs in the genital with sex cells.


What happens to a cell during the cell cycle of interphase?

G1 = gap one. The newly formed daughter cell grows by adding cytoplasm and organelles. The cell performs its normal activities, depending on what kind of cell it is. Some cells never divide, and they spend their entire lives in G1. S = synthesis. The DNA is replicated to prepare for cell division. Replication means that the DNA is copied exactly so there are two complete sets of DNA to divide up. G2 = gap two. The cell grows more to get ready to divide.


When cells are stimulated to divide what happens?

They divide.
