This padlet does a decent job at providing the process steps but I can't visually see the cycle ... additional narrative would also provide better context.

very cursory introduction . - why is this important?

An example of what a cell does would provide more context and clarity

Do all cells go through GO?

Somatic Cells: Any living cell expect a sex cell.

This helps creates 2 genetically identical cells with 46 chromosomes each, because mitosis only occurs with somatic cells. There are 4 stages of Mitosis:
1.) Prophase
2.) Metaphase
3.) Anaphase
4.) Telophase

# data[].attributes.body
Motor proteins start to pull hard on the microtubules so much so that the sister chromatids break apart and become 2 single chromatids. Once they are detached they are pulled to either pole of the cell.

# data[].attributes.body
Sister Chromatids: Identical copies of the same replicated chromosome that are joined together by the same centromere.
Centromere: A DNA structure on a chromosome where microtubules of the mitotic spindle attach.
Mitotic Spindle:
Collective term for all spindle fibers. Spindle fibers are made up of microtubules.
Microtubules: Polymer of tubulin. Ropes of protein.

# data[].attributes.body
Centrosome: Organelle that contains centrioles
Centriole: Cylindrical structure made of a protein called tubulin.

Chromosomes: 1 double helix strand of DNA. Humans have 46 of them grouped into 23 pairs. 1 in each pair comes from the mother the other from the father. They are located in the nucleus of cells.

# data[].attributes.body
A nuclear envelope reforms around the 2 new groups of chromosomes. This creates 2 new nuclei.

# data[].attributes.body
The sister chromatids attach to the microtubules by their centromeres. the chromosomes line up straight down the middle of the cell on its equator.

# data[].attributes.body
The nuclear envelope designates. Chromatin is condensed into chromosomes which consist of two sister chromatids. The sister chromatids start to head for opposite directions of the cell. While the centrosomes move to opposite poles of the cell.
Mitotic spindle begins to form

# data[].attributes.body
Continues to prepare for mitosis and grows in size. It also duplicates the centrosome.

# data[].attributes.body
DNA Replication occurs in this stage. Each of the 46 chromosomes is replicated creating another set of chromosomes.

# data[].attributes.body
The cell grows and works and does its job to keep us alive during G1. This stage also helps to prepare for DNA replication

# data[].attributes.body
This is the cells resting period. It has left the cell cycle and stopped dividng.

# data[].attributes.body
The cytoplasm of the cell splits in the middle creating 2 daughter cells that are genetically identical.

# data[].attributes.body
Most of a cells life is spent in interphase. It is the point in between mitosis happenings. During this time they grow and work and do all the things that cells do to keep us humans alive. There are 4 phases of interphase:
1.) G0
2.) G1
3.) S
4.) G2

# data[].attributes.body
The process of growth and division that most Eukaryotic cells follow. This is broken down into  3 stage:
1.) Interphase (Growth)
2.) Mitosis
3.) Cytokinesis
