Cell Cycle

Real World Example

Imagine you're planning a party, starting with the initial idea and ending with the guests leaving. This process is much like the cell cycle, where a cell grows, duplicates its DNA, prepares for division, and finally splits into two new cells. Just like planning stages, shopping, setting up, and hosting a party, a cell goes through phases of growth (G1), DNA replication (S), preparation (G2), and division (mitosis), ensuring everything is in place for a successful outcome.
