Flexi Says: The cell divides in half, creating two cells. Then those two cells divide, for a total of four cells. The new cells continue to divide and divide. One cell becomes two, then four, then eight, and so on. This continual process of a cell dividing and creating two new cells is known as cell division. As per the Hayflick limit, in humans, the somatic cells replicate and divide forty to sixty times before they die.
