The '''cell cycle''' is the entire timeline starting with a single, newly created eukaryotic cell and till it has finished dividing into two daughter cells. The term "cycle" refers to the idea that upon the completion of the cell cycle for a cell finishes, the cell cycle begins for both of its daughter cells.

==States and phases of the cell cycle==

The cell cycle is divided into three states; the middle state is further divided into three phases. The list of states and phases is as below:

{| class="sortable" border="1"
! State !! Phase !! Abbreviation !! What happens !! Approximate duration in the case of the 24-hour cell cycle for human cells
|-
| Resting || [[G0 phase|Gap 0]] || G0 || The cell, that has just been created, is resting. || (could vary in length, from a few hours to several days, depending on how quickly the cell needs to grow)
|-
| Interphase || [[G1 phase|Gap 1]] || G1 || Cell growth. The G1 checkpoint ensures that everything is ready for DNA synthesis. || 11
|-
| Interphase || [[S phase|Synthesis]] || S || [[DNA replication]] || 8
|-
| Interphase || [[G2 phase|Gap 2]] || G2 || Growth and preparation for mitosis. The G2 checkpoint ensures that everything is ready to enter the M (mitosis) phase and divide. || 4
|-
| Cell division || [[Mitosis]] || M || Cell division occurs. The Metaphase Checkpoint ensures that the cell is ready to complete cell division. || 1
