Eukaryote Cell Cycle

• Interphase:

  • the longest part of the cell cycle
  • consists of G1 (gap 1), S (synthesis of DNA) and G2 (gap 2)
• Mitotic Phase (cell division):

  Mitosis (division of nucleus):

  • Prophase
  • Prometaphase
  • Metaphase
  • Anaphase
  • Telophase

  Cytokinesis (division of the cytoplasm)
• Binary Fission:

  • division of one cell into two cells
  • asexual reproduction common in bacteria
• When chromatids are pulled apart they are considered chromosomes
