Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The cell cycle is the process that every cell undergoes and results in the division of the cell. It consists of interphase and mitosis. Interphase lasts for the majority of the cell cycle and consists of three sub-phases. Cell growth and preparation for cell division occurs during the interphase. Replication of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) also occurs during interphase. Mitosis is the actual division of the cell’s nucleus and results in the formation of two identical daughter cells.
