Detailed explanation-1: -The cell cycle is a repeating series of events that cells go through. It includes growth, DNA synthesis, and cell division. In eukaryotic cells, there are two growth phases, and cell division includes mitosis. The cell cycle is controlled by regulatory proteins at three key checkpoints in the cycle.

Detailed explanation-2: -cell cycle, the ordered sequence of events that occur in a cell in preparation for cell division. The cell cycle is a four-stage process in which the cell increases in size (gap 1, or G1, stage), copies its DNA (synthesis, or S, stage), prepares to divide (gap 2, or G2, stage), and divides (mitosis, or M, stage).

Detailed explanation-3: -The cell cycle consists of a series of steps during which the chromosomes and other cell material double to make two copies. The cell then divides into two daughter cells, each receiving one copy of the doubled material. The cell cycle is complete when each daughter cell is surrounded by its own outer membrane.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cell cycle is a repeating sequence of cellular growth and divi-sion during the life of an organism. A cell spends 90 percent of its time in the first three phases of the cycle, which are collectively called interphase. A cell will enter the last two phases of the cell cycle only if it is about to divide.
