Nurse explains that growth and reproduction of all living organisms are dependent on the cell cycle, the process that leads to cell division. He also discusses three important theories that have influenced the course of biology: gene theory, the proposal that the cell is the fundamental unit of all life, and Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, which in 2009 is 150 years old.
