Mitosis

• The cell cycle is the series of events that occur between one mitotic division and the next.
• Interphase consists of three stages: G1, S, and G2
• G1 phase - growth phase where cells grow larger and increase their cytoplasmic content
• Interphase is the longest phase, during which DNA replicates to produce two identical copies of chromosomes.
• Mitosis consists of four stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
• G1 phase - growth phase where cells grow and prepare to divide
• Prophase involves condensation of chromatin into visible chromosomes, formation of spindle fibers, and attachment of centromeres to spindles.
• S phase - synthesis phase where DNA replicates
• G2 phase - gap phase where cells continue growing and preparing for mitosis
• S phase - synthesis phase where DNA replication occurs to produce two identical copies of chromosomes
• G2 phase - gap phase where cells prepare for mitosis by increasing protein production and organelle duplication
• Mitosis is the process of nuclear division during which the genetic material (DNA) is equally distributed into two daughter nuclei.
• G2 Phase - gap phase where the cell prepares for mitosis by duplicating organelles and proteins needed for cell division
• Anaphase - stage where sister chromatids separate and are pulled apart by spindle fibers
• Metaphase - stage where chromatids line up along the equatorial plane of the cell
• Prophase - stage where chromatin condenses, centrioles move towards opposite poles, spindle fibers form between them, and nuclear envelope breaks down
• In prophase, chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and spindle fibers form.
• Interphase - period of growth and preparation for cell division, consisting of G1, S, and G2 phases
• Cytokinesis - final step of cell division that results in the formation of two genetically identical daughter cells from one parent cell
• Telophase - stage where new nuclear envelopes form around each set of chromosomes, chromosomes uncoil to become chromatin again, and cytokinesis occurs
• Metaphase - stage where chromosomes line up along the equatorial plane of the cell
• Telophase - stage where new membranes form around the separated sets of chromosomes, forming two new nuclei
• Mitosis is the process by which eukaryotic cells divide to produce two genetically identical daughter cells
• Prophase - stage where chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and spindle fibers form
• Growth Phase (G1) is when the cell grows and prepares for DNA replication
• Anaphase - stage where sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite poles of the cell
• Mitotic phase is when the nucleus divides and produces two identical copies of itself
