, Growth and reproduction of all organisms
depend on the division & enlargement of cells.
The mechanisms of division and multiplication
of cells together constitute cell reproduction.
Cell Division in Cancer Cell
It is the life period of a cell during which a cell
synthesizes DNA (replication), grows in size and
divides into two daughter cells.
Cell growth (cytoplasmic increase) is a continuous
process but DNA synthesis occurs only at a specific
stage.
Duration of cell cycle varies in each organism and
each cell type.
Duration of a typical eukaryotic cell cycle (e.g. human
cell) is about 24 hrs. In Yeasts, it is only about 90
minutes.
Cell cycle has 2 basic phases:
Interphase
M Phase
