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

  Phases of Cell Cycle:   The cell cycle describes the life cycle of a eukaryotic cell as it performs its necessary functions and prepares for cell division, producing two new daughter cells. The cell cycle is split into   two phases : the  interphase  and the  mitotic phase. Phases of Cell Cycle Interphase Interphase is the longest portion of the cell cycle, where the cell performs its essential functions and prepares for division. Interphase is broken down into three sub-phases: first gap phase (G 1 ), synthesis phase (S phase), and second gap phase (G 2 ). These cell cycle phases are described briefly below: First gap phase (G 1 ) The cell performs all of its necessary functions. Accumulates energy and proteins in preparation for the synthesis phase. The cell grows so that it is large enough to be divided in two. The first cell checkpoint ensures the cell is ready to move on to S phase. Synthesis phase (S phase) The cell undergoes DNA Replication, copying exactly all of the DNA chro

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

In this  fascinating world of cells, DNA, and the intriguing similarities and differences between humans and our closest relatives, chimpanzees. Cells as Building Blocks: A cell is the smallest unit of a living organism. Whether an organism consists of a single cell (like bacteria) or many cells (like a human), it is called an organism. Cells serve as the basic building blocks of all living things. Tissues, organs, and organ systems are formed by the interconnection of different types of cells. For instance: Epithelial cells protect body surfaces and cover organs. Bone cells provide support and protection. Immune system cells fight off invaders. Blood cells transport nutrients and oxygen while removing waste. Despite their diversity, cells across organisms share fundamental characteristics. Human DNA vs. Chimpanzee DNA: Similarity: Humans and chimpanzees share an astonishing 99% of their DNA. Chimps are our “closest cousins in the animal kingdom” . Obvious Similarities: Both laugh when
