How does coriolis effect affect the cyclone?
The Coriolis force is required for a cyclone to form into a tropical cyclone or hurricane. The force causes a greater deflection of the air (right in the northern hemisphere and left in the southern) and the correct speeds for the tropical cyclone to form. Hence why tropical cyclones do not form at or within 5 degrees of the equator, and cease to exist at around 35 degrees north, or 15 degrees south.
Why are tropical cyclones never observed within about 5 north and south latitudes?
Cyclones require, some amount of Coriolis force in order to gain their rotation. This effect is strongest at the poles and zero at the equator. Within 5 degrees of the equator, the effect is too weak for cyclones to organize.

Which tropical latitude is between the arctic circle and the equator?
The "tropical latitudes" are the latitudes within 23.5 degrees of the equator, both north and south of it. The half of the "tropics" between the equator and the Arctic Circle is the half between the equator and 23.5 degrees north latitude. The line at 23.5 degrees north latitude that marks the northern boundary of the tropics is the "Tropic of Cancer".
