it must grow and make copies of all the organelles such as mitochondria and ribosomes. The cell must also replicate the chromosomes in the nucleus, then it can divide by mitosis.

In mitosis, two cells called daughter cells are produced, each identical to the parent cell. When looking at cells with a microscope, the length of different stages of the cell cycle can be ...

It is perhaps unexpected that closely related CDK activities can promote events as different as S phase and mitosis. This may mean that in the primeval eukaryote, cell-cycle progression was driven ...

From this understanding, scientists then identified the four characteristic phases of the cell cycle: mitosis (M), gap 1 (G1), DNA synthesis (S), and gap 2 (G2). The study of these phases ...
