The purpose of the cell cycle is primarily for the growth and development of organisms and the repair of damaged tissue. It allows for the duplication and distribution of genetic material to daughter cells during cell division. The cell cycle plays a crucial role in maintaining the proper functioning and development of multicellular organisms. Removing the nucleus or increasing classwork workload are not primary purposes of the cell cycle.
