Cell Cycle Duration Varies by Organism — NEET Biology
📚 Practice Concept📖 NCERT Source
A typical eukaryotic cell cycle is illustrated by human cells in culture. These cells divide once in approximately every 24 hours. However, this duration of cell cycle can vary from organism to organism and also from cell type to cell type. Yeast, for example, can progress through the cell cycle in only about 90 minutes.
