  • speciation -
    It is an evolutionary
    process that leads to the
    formation of a new and
    distinct species that is
    reproductively isolated
    from another species.
  • Variation - means that some individuals have traits better suited to the environment than others.
  • Natural selection - can lead to
    speciation, where one species gives rise to a new and distinctly different species.
  • Cell cycle - is an ordered series of events involving cell growth and cell division that produces two new daughter cells.
  • During Interphase the
    cell undergoes normal
    growth processes
    while also preparing
    for cell division.
  • Mitosis - This is the stage of chromosome separation and the cell divides into two
    separate entities.
  • The G0 phase, also known as the resting phase, is the phase of the cell
    cycle during which a cell is neither dividing nor preparing to divide.
  • Resting phase - During this period the cell performs regulatory and its basic cellular functions
  • Does cell cycle control matter? Yes
  • G2 phase is also known as the growth
    phase. The cell again diverts its energy into synthesizing more protein and grows in size to get itself ready for the mitosis stage.
  • Human beings contain approximately 30 trillion cells 
    • Chromatin basic material of DNA
    • Chromosome denser and coiled version of chromatin
    • Egg cells have 23 sets of chromosomes
    • Meiosis formation of gametes
  • Telophase - formation of the cleavage furrow retraction of spindle fibers
  • Karyokinesis - new nucleus are formed
  • Cytokinesis - formation/complete development of 2 daughter cells
  • Anaphase - centrioles break apart chromosomes to separate sister chromatids
  • Centrioles - are tube-like structures
  • xx is for female, xy is for male
