How does a cell make more cells?

The cell cycle creates new cells by using the process called mitosis. One important fact about this process is that their are certain steps that need to be taken in order to duplicate or create new cells. Another important fact about this process is that this process takes about a whole day to be completed. Then, this is repeated until it is at it's limits. The daughter cells created are similar from the parent cell because the amount of chromosomes the parents have, whether it's 25 or 50, the daughter cells get the exact same amount of chromosomes as their parent. During the process, errors are avoided by not letting it continue the process. It can find the errors itself and stop to prevent any issues. Finally, the process of mitosis has 6 steps in all. Basically, the process starts off with 2 chromosomes in one cell and duplicates 2x and are pulled away from eachother going to opposite ends of the cell. Then the cytoplasm is making the cell split into two. Lastly, it creates 2 daughter cells that have exactly the same amount of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Describing the effects of the city growth. 

Cities laws are restricted and are being controlled although not as tightly controlled as the government law. One interesting fact in support of this is that for example in rent costs, depending on the region, the rents are high or low. If it is high, most likely, the costs are because they don't have anyone controlling the rent costs so rent house owners can choose any amount of cost how much or how less they want. This means they have a choice to choose to have their tenants pay more than they need to, have them pay a reasonable cost, or have them pay an amount cheaper than the average. Another interesting fact about cities is that all the cities are not controlled or governed the same way as others. For instance, if Palo Alto have their own way of controlling their city, Mountain View might have a different way. It also depends on where you live. If you live near or in a place where it has very nice weather or it is a good, safe place to live, mod likely the residential costs will go up and up.  If the houses are in a little city where no one really notices it, the residential cots might be lower because there might be not so good things about that region. Finally, safety in that area. If that area is not so good, like there's lots of crimes and robberies, then no one would really want to live their. This is like an error occurring in the cell division process or mitosis.

Is the city or the cell better at growing and creating more of itself.

It is clear that the cell is much better at growing and creating more of itself because the cell works perfecto and it passes on the exact same amount of chromosomes from the parent cell to the daughter cells and repeats this step. To build on this idea, the cell has a perfect processor in which they can duplicate and have no mistakes be made. It exactly copies the parent to the daughter cells and those daughter cells each turn into parent cells and copies itself and the process continues on without any "crimes" or "robberies". In addition, even if it does get errors, the cell shuts down or rather closes up so that "robber" won't come in. This is the cytoplasm that's doing this. Another fact in support of this is that cells know when they are at their limits. Cities don't. Cells go to a certain point and stop because if your body over flows with cells, your body might not function properly and you might have some issues. For cities, many problems occur because of too many cities being formed. For example, green land is getting fewer and fewer, pollution is increasing world-wide, and rents are more expensive than they need to be. We need more green land because where there's green land, there's trees, where there's trees, there's more oxygen being produced, and where there are more oxygen being produced, the cleaner the air is!
