INTRODUCTION:
Cell Theory:
· All organisms consist of one or more cells.
· Cell is the smallest unit of life.
· All cells come from pre-existing cells.
Cell cycle:
The dividing and non –dividing stages in the life of a cell are described by a series of events called the cell-cycle. The cell cycle is the sequence of events by which a cell duplicates its genome and divides into daughter cells.Some cells, like skin cells ,divide continuously throught the life of the organism.Cardiac muscle cells are arrested in G2 phase.
