Summary Introduction

To review:

The control of the cell cycle by cyclin-Cdk (cyclin-dependent kinases).

Introduction:

The cell cycle is defined as a sequence of events that occur in a cell, which cause the cell to divide. In this process, the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is duplicated and divided equally into two daughter cells. In eukaryotic cells, the cell cycle is divided into two phases, which are the M (mitotic) phase and the interphase. The interphase is sub-divided into three phases, which are G (gap)1 phase, G2 phase, and S (synthesis) phase.
