The cell cycle is a vital biological process where cells grow and divide, forming new daughter cells. It's essential for organism development, tissue repair, and asexual reproduction in unicellular life. Eukaryotic cells undergo interphase and mitotic phases, while prokaryotic cells replicate via binary fission. The cycle is tightly regulated with checkpoints to prevent errors, ensuring genetic fidelity and proper cell function.
