What is the main purpose of the cell cycle?

• During a cell’s lifetime, it spends most of the time growing and copying DNA and organelles. When it is time, the cell divides its DNA and organelles to create two new cells with identical DNA, helping an organism grow and to make repairs.

• The cell cycle is a process by which cells grow and replicate organelles and DNA in order to stay alive and maintain homeostasis. The process ensures that organisms have appropriate temperature and water level regulation.

• The process of the cell cycle is essential to keep a multicellular organism alive. It allows organisms to multiply their cells in a manner that different DNA is added to the differentiated cells like blood cells and bone cells. Then, all cells can carry out their function appropriately.

• The process of the cell cycle ensures that all cells in the body have an identical number of organelles and are able to divide rapidly to keep the organism functioning. It leads to differentiated cells like nerve cells and bone cells that work together to keep a multicellular organism functioning.
