Biology teacher was teaching cell cycle in the class. She taught that cell is the basis from which life exists. Also explained well about cell cycle. Robin who was a bright student was facing difficulties in understanding the topic he reached home and asked her sister who is a student of biology in a college about details of cell cycle and cell theory.
