The cycle of cells is a cycle of stages that cells traverse to allow them to divide and produce new cells. For that reason it's sometimes referred to as the "cycle of cell division." New cells are born when their "parent" cell is divided, producing two "daughter" cells from one single "parent" cell. Daughter cells begin life small, containing only half of the cytoplasm of the parent cell and only one copy of the DNA which is the "blueprint" or "source code" of the cell for survival. The newborn cells must grow and produce more copies of vital cellular machinery – including their DNA – in order to divide and produce "daughter cells" by themselves. Mitosis and interphase are the two principal parts of the cell cycle. Mitosis is the cell division phase during which a "parent cell" divides to create two "daughter cells." "Interphase" is the longest part of the cell cycle – the growth phase and the replication of DNA between mitotic cell divisions. Both mitosis and interphase are divided into smaller sub-phases which must be executed in order to proceed smoothly with cell division, growth , and development.
