Key Concepts

Cell Cycle

The cell cycle is the ordered set of events that a cell undergoes from one division to the next. It typically includes several phases: interphase, where the cell grows and replicates its contents, and the mitotic phase, where the cell divides. This cycle is fundamental to growth, development, and tissue repair.

Interphase

Interphase is the longest phase of the cell cycle during which the cell increases in size, performs its normal functions, and replicates its DNA. It essentially prepares the cell for the division process, ensuring that all necessary cellular materials are duplicated and ready for the subsequent division.

DNA Replication

DNA replication is the process by which a cell copies its DNA, ensuring that each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes. This process occurs during a portion of interphase known as the S-phase and is critical for maintaining genetic continuity across cell generations.
