Hurricane Odile was the most powerful storm to hit Cabo San Lucas on the Baja California peninsula in Mexico. A Category 3 hurricane when it made landfall, Odile had winds of 125 mph. But the hurricane is losing strength as it moves north.
The cell cycle or cell-division cycle is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication of its DNA (DNA replication) to produce two daughter cells. In bacteria, which lack a cell nucleus, the cell cycle is divided into the B, C, and D periods. The B period extends from the end of cell division to the beginning of DNA replication. DNA replication occurs during the C period.
DNA replicatioin occurs before mitosis. It happens during INTERPHASE. DNA has to replicate because DNA contains the genetic blueprint for the cell. It tells the cell how to function and how it is to form. Also, the daughter cells must each have their own set of equal DNA. Shortly before cell division (Mitosis).
