The cell cycle or cell-division cycle is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication of its DNA (DNA replication) to produce two daughter cells. In bacteria, which lack a cell nucleus, the cell cycle is divided into the B, C, and D periods. The B period extends from the end of cell division to the beginning of DNA replication. DNA replication occurs during the C period.
During the cell cycle, a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to create two daughter cells. The three main stages of the cell cycle are interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis. Cells spend most of their lives, about 78 percent of the time, not dividing in a phase called interphase.
