Notice how the one above it starts to do it as well? The cells are responding to signals telling them to divide. Tumors are groups of cells that do this whenever they are bored, without being told to.
When a cell divides (depending on the cell it can either go through Meiosis, Mitosis or binary fission) This cell is going through Mitosis which just the cells process to divide into two more cells or "daughter cells". The little red things are chromosomes being pulled a part by that pale green stuff, which is the cytoskeletons spindle fibres
Yeah the red's the chromosomes and they get split in half as well when the whole cell splits, so they don't vanish but they do become too small to see. They're actually only visible just before the cell divides, it's pretty cool
