Cell Cycle: Introduction

  • All cells reproduce by dividing into daughter cells.
  • Therefore, cell cycle can be defined as an orderly set of stages that take place when a cell divides and then the daughter cells also divide. 
  • Hence, the sequence of events by which a cell duplicates its genome, synthesises the other constituents of the cell and eventually divides into two daughter cells is termed cell cycle.
  • The cell cycle is divided into the following phases:

                            (a) Interphase
                            (b) Division phase

Utility of Cell Division:

  • Cell division enables a single cell to eventually produce many cells, allowing an organism to grow and develop.
  • Cell division also occurs when a repair is needed and worn-out tissues have to be replaced.
  • Cell division results in the formation of gametes that fuse to form the zygote. Hence, the reproduction and restoration of the chromosome number is maintained by the cell division.
  • In unicellular organisms, cell division results in the reproduction of the organism.
