The following labeled diagram illustrates the cell cycle. As you can see in the labeled diagram here, the cell cycle is an ordered series of events involving cell growth and cell division that produces two new daughter cells. Cells on the path to cell division proceed through a series of precisely timed and carefully regulated stages of growth, DNA replication, and division that produce two identical (clone) cells. Some of the important phases worth discussing here are Cell Division (Cytokinesis), Cell Leaves Cycle, DNA Synthesis, DNA Damage Checkpoint, Spindle Checkpoint, Mitotic Phase, Interphase, and more.
