The Cell cycle is the process in which a eukaryotic cell divides itself into two cells. It includes the preparation that have to take place inside of the cell before it can divide itself. Between different species and cell types the duraction can vary greatly.

Phases
M-Phase
During the M-Phase the cell first splits the nucleus in the mitosis. Afterwards the cytoplasm divides in the cytokinesis. The M-Phase takes normally around one hour. The timespan between two M-Phases is called interphase.
