The Eukaryotic Cell Cycle

The cell cycle is an ordered series of stages through which an actively dividing eukaryotic cell passes from 1 division to the next. This scrollable interactive explains how, through the cell cycle, 1 cell divides to form 2 new cells. It also describes how the cell cycle is regulated, as well as the consequence of unregulated cell division.
