Have you
ever wondered how you were able to grow so much since you were born?
Well the answer is simple, you grew because of the cell cycle. Without
the cell cycle, cells would not be able to grow and divide, and life itself
would not be able to develop out of an egg and sperm. The
cell cycle is one of the essential parts that allow life on earth as we
know it to exist.
