Is cell cycle duration the same for all cells?

Posted February 10, 2021


Answer

Different organisms have different cell cycle durations. The duration of the cell cycle varies from cell to cell. For some fly embryos, the cell cycles last only 8 minutes. Fro the fast-dividing mammalian cells, the length of the cycle is approximately 24 hours. Therefore, the cell cycle duration is not the same for all cells.
