Question

Once a small kidney cells are formed .What cellular process still needs to occur to form an entire kidney? What is cell cycle and what role does it play in this process?

Answer 1

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Once small kidney cells are formed, the cells need to keep dividing to form tissues and the tissues will eventually come together to form the kidney.

The cell cycle represents a series of activities that a cell undergoes in order to replicate its genetic contents and divides to give rise to two daughter cells effectively ending a life and taking up new ones.

Each of the kidney cells that will divide has to undergo a typical cell cycle in order to replicate its genetic contents and give rise to two daughter cells. The cycle is divided into 2:

1. The interphase which consists of G1, S, and G2 phases
2. The m phase which includes prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

The replication of genetic materials of the cell takes place as the S phase of the interphase. G1 is characterized by cell growth while G2 is characterized by protein synthesis.
