How Your Body Clones Itself: The 24-Hour Cell Cycle Explained 🧬⏱️🦠

Every second, your body is performing a biological miracle: cloning itself. But did you know that the actual act of a cell splitting in half only takes about one hour? In this video, we dive deep into the 24-hour cell cycle to uncover what’s really happening during that "hidden" 95% of a cell's life. From the intense preparation in Interphase (G1, S, and G2 stages) to the explosive, high-stakes sprint of Mitosis (M-Phase), we break down how one microscopic unit becomes two perfect replicas. We’ll also explore the critical difference between Mitosis (cloning for growth and repair) and Meiosis (creating genetic variation for the next generation). What you’ll learn: ✅ The 3 stages of Interphase: G1, S-phase, and G2. ✅ How DNA duplicates without changing the chromosome count. ✅ The 4 phases of Mitosis: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. ✅ Why Meiosis is essential for the survival of a species.
