Summary Introduction

To determine: The importance of understanding a cell cycle to the success of Wilmut’s experiment demonstrating the first mammalian clone.

Introduction:  The series of events after which a cell divides into two daughter cells is known as the cell cycle. G₁ phase, G₂ phase, S phase, and M phase are the four phases in which the cell cycle is divided. Every phase has a distinct function. M phase is the final phase of the cell cycle where the cell undergoes mitosis or meiosis.
