Excerpt: The cell cycle, or cell-division cycle, is the series of events that takes place in a cell leading to its division and duplication (replication). In cells without a nucleus (prokaryotic), the cell cycle occurs via a process termed binary fission. In cells with a nucleus (eukaryotes), the cell cycle can be divided in two brief periods: interphase-during which the cell grows, accumulating nutrients needed for mitosis and duplicating its DNA-and the mitosis (M) phase, during which the cell splits itself into two distinct cel...
