Cell Cycle

What is the cell cycle?

• The gradual development of something, especially from a simple to a more complex form.
• The study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics.
• The branch of biology that deals with the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings.
• The series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication of its DNA to produce two daughter cells.
