It starts developing after two to six hours after death. It first begins in the eyelids, then on neck and jaw and finally to upper and lower parts of the body.

Describe the importance of the cell cycle ?
egoroff_w [7]

Explanation:

The way the Cell cycle works helps us keep us alive as long as usually do. An example is when you bite your cheek, you may kill some cells by it but your alive cells will replace them by creating more. Now without the cell cycle here's what would happen, You bite your cheek and your cells die forever causing your mouth to be dryer, weaker and to lack enzymes ( enzymes help brake down your food and ready it to go threw your digestive system ) So imagine every time you get hurt and your cells just keep dying without being reborn that's like as if everyone stopped creating children eventually the human race would end, If the cell cycle does not do its job eventually you will get weak and die. that's why the Cell Cycle is important to any living things well being especially if its Multicellular.
