Why does the cell cycle of life begin with division and end with division?

All living cells have a life cycle that begins with the division of the mother cell and ends with the formation of daughter cells.

In fact, between divisions there is another small period – synthetic. When the cell is actively feeding and growing. After the cell has reached its maximum, it starts dividing. This process serves as both the end of the life cycle of the mother cell and the beginning of the cycle of daughter cells. Since after division, the mother cell no longer exists, we can say that its cycle is over.
