A Journey through Time on the Discovery of Cell Cycle Regulation

RLO: Cell Division cell cycle The cell cycle has two major phases: interphase and the mitotic phase During interphase, the cell grows and DNA is replicated During the mitotic cell wall cell cycle This is the lifespan of a eukaryotic somatic cell A somatic cell is any cell in the body

cell cycle Cell reproduction begins with duplication of the cell's contents, followed by distribution of those contents into two daughter cells Chromosome duplication
