Description

This is a model of the cell cycle I made for my biology class. It's meant to make the process easily understandable while still giving as many details as possible.

The graphic reads:

    [G1]

    1. Cell exists.

    2. Cell gets any needed resources.

    3. Cell grows.

    4. Cell checks if it is big enough to divide. (If it is, it goes to [Synthesis], otherwise it goes to [G0].)

    [G0]

    4.a. Cell rests and grows more.

    [Synthesis]

    5. DNA is copied through synthesis.

    6. Cell checks if it was copied correctly. (If it was, it goes to [G2], otherwise it goes to [_1].)

    [_1]

    One of two things can happen here:

        6.a. The cell self-destructs.

    or

        6.b. Changes all the incorrect DNA and goes back to step 6.

    [G2]

    7. Cell grows and prepares for [Mitosis].

    [Mitosis]

    8. Cell goes into mitosis until complete.

I hope this was easy to understand.
