Figure 17-13The control of the cell cycle

The essential processes of the cell cycle—such as DNA replication, mitosis, and cytokinesis—are triggered by a cell-cycle control system. By analogy with a washing machine, the cell-cycle control system is shown here as a central arm—the controller—that rotates clockwise, triggering essential processes when it reaches specific points on the outer dial.
