Overview
The cell cycle is the series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide. It consists of several phases: interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis. During interphase, the cell prepares for division by growing and replicating its DNA. Mitosis is the process where the cell's nucleus divides, followed by cytokinesis, which splits the cytoplasm. Understanding the cell cycle is essential for grasping how organisms grow, develop, and repair tissues.
