* Nothing truly "disappears" Cell division is about growth and continuation, not loss.
* What changes: During cell division, a single cell divides into two daughter cells. These daughter cells are essentially clones of the original cell, with a few key differences:
* Chromosomes: The original cell's chromosomes are replicated, and each daughter cell gets a full set.
* Size: The original cell's volume is divided between the two new cells, so each is smaller.
* Surface area: The cell's surface area changes, but it's related to the change in size.
It's important to note: The original cell doesn't "disappear." It's replaced by two new cells that are essentially its copies.
