DECODE The Script of LIFE

 The cell cycle is a fundamental process that all cells go through to divide and replicate. It is a complex series of stages that ensures the accurate duplication and distribution of a cell's genetic material to its daughter cells. The cell cycle can be broadly divided into two phases: interphase and the mitotic phase. Interphase:  is the longest part of the cell cycle, during which the cell grows and copies its DNA in preparation for division. Interphase itself is subdivided into three phases: G1 Phase (First Gap) : The cell grows in size, produces RNA, synthesizes proteins, and prepares the necessary components for DNA replication. S Phase (Synthesis) : The cell replicates its DNA, ensuring that each daughter cell will receive an exact copy of the genetic material.  G2 Phase (Second Gap) : The cell continues to grow and produces proteins necessary for mitosis. Following interphase, the cell enters the mitotic phase, which is composed of: Mitosis : The process where the replicate

Cell biology is defined as the branch of biology which deals with the  study of cells . This branch comprises the study regarding  shape, size, types, composition, division, and growth  of the cells. A cell is the basic and  fundamental unit of life , which acts as a building block of the organisms, hence it is crucial to study all the concepts related to cell biology thoroughly. Discovery of cells In 1665, cell discovered by Robert Hooke He actually observed only cell walls Hooke coined the term cell He wrote his findings in a book Micrographia In 1672, Anton Von Leuwenhoek first saw and described live cell Robert Brown later discovered the nucleus All the organisms are composed of micrometre-sized blocks. These  building blocks  are termed as cells. Cells are the living building blocks that  differentiate living organisms  from non-living things. An organism can be made up of a single cell (a Unicellular organism) or many cells (Multicellular organisms). Cells are the fundamental and

  What is a Cell? A cell is defined as the most basic, structural and functional unit of all living organisms. Essentially, a cell is a structure that contains organelles which provide the necessary functions to sustain itself. However, not all cells are the same. Plants have cells that are vastly different from animals. One of the primary differences between the two is the absence of cell walls in  animal cells . Cells also vary in size, with the largest one in the human body being the egg or the female ovum. It measures roughly 1 millimetre across. The smallest cell is the granule cell which is found in the human cerebellum, measuring roughly around 4.5 micrometres in size. Cell Theory This scientific theory, initially formulated by Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann, proposed that all living organisms are composed of cells, and new cells are formed from pre-existing cells. Even though the theory was put forth by Schleiden and Schwann, other notable scientists have contributed to
