The cell cycle, or cell-division cycle, is a regulation process that takes place in a cell leading to its division and duplication. The division cycle of most cells consists of four coordinated stages: cell growth, DNA replication, distribution of the duplicated chromosomes to daughter cells, and cell division.
The cell cycle is
an ordered sequence of events in which a cell duplicates its DNA and divides
into two. Progression between each coordinated stages of the cell cycle is
controlled by a conserved regulatory apparatus, which not only coordinates the
different events of the cell cycle but also links the cell cycle with
extracellular signals that control cell proliferation.
