Detailed explanation-1: -Cell cycle is the name we give the process through which cells replicate and make two new cells. Cell cycle has different stages called G1, S, G2, and M. G1 is the stage where the cell is preparing to divide. To do this, it then moves into the S phase where the cell copies all the DNA.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cell cycle can be thought of as the life cycle of a cell. In other words, it is the series of growth and development steps a cell undergoes between its “birth”-formation by the division of a mother cell-and reproduction-division to make two new daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -“Cell cycle refers to the series of events that take place in a cell, resulting in the duplication of DNA and division of cytoplasm and organelles to produce two daughter cells.”

Detailed explanation-4: -The cell cycle of a eukaryotic cell has three stages: interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis. The first stage of the cell cycle is called interphase. During interphase, the cell grows and makes copies of its chromosomes and organelles. The two copies of a chromosome are called chromatids.

Detailed explanation-5: -The cell cycle is defined as the series of changes that a cell undergoes which results in the division of cells into two daughter cells and its growth. The cell cycle is divided into two phases-interphase and mitosis. The average duration of a cell completing its two phases in humans is 24 hours.
