Cell Division
By Cindy Grigg |

1 Living things grow by cell division. Cell division also replaces dead or worn-out cells. Cells divide to multiply. The process that cells go through when they divide is called mitosis. During mitosis, a single cell splits into two cells. The nucleus of the cell divides first. This is called mitosis. Then the cytoplasm divides. This is called cytokinesis.
