Regulated cell cycle
ConceptCells coordinate DNA replication and division through regulatory controls.
Explanation or usage
A dividing cell duplicates its genetic material and distributes it to daughter cells in an orderly sequence. Checkpoints and regulatory signals can delay progression when conditions or DNA integrity are unsuitable. Division patterns vary among cell types; not all cells divide continually.
Common misunderstandings
Every adult cell keeps dividing at the same rate.
