In this stage, four daughter cells are produced, each with half the number of chromosomes of the original cell. This is the process by which a new organism is formed by the fusion of a sperm and egg, as in human reproduction, producing a unique individual person. When similar cells act together to perform a specific function they become a tissue. In this tissue, the cells are able to divide to repair any damage that occurs to the tissue
The nucleus
This tissue supports and connects different parts of the body. It has a number of different functions including storing energy reserves and helping to provide immunity. With the exception of cartilage and tendons, connective tissue generally has a rich blood supply and nerve supply. Its cells are separated by protein fibres and fluid.

found across the surface of the cell and are designed to increase the surface area available for absorption
During this stage, two identical daughter cells are produced to allow for growth and repair. This division is achieved through the four phases of prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. When a cell reaches maturity, it is able to divide and reproduce again, thus continuing the cycle.

The largest organ in the body
This tissue includes many different types of cell, all of which are packed tightly together and arranged in continuous sheets. These tissues receive all their nutrients and remove their waste through diffusion as they have no blood supply of their own
