Mitosis

• G1: cell grows and replicates DNA and organelles
• G1 checkpoint: checks for cell size, nutrients, growth factors and DNA damage
• S phase: DNA is replicated
• G2: cell continues to grow and prepares for mitotic division
• G2 checkpoint: checks if the Dna was replicated correctly during the S phase
• Interphase: cell carries out it's normal functions and prepares for cell division
• Prophase: chromatin coils up, each chromosome has a sister chromatid combined, mitotic spindles start forming.
• Prometaphase: Nuclear envelope disappears, mitotic spindles attach to kinetochore inside centromere, some microtubules attach to microtubules on the other side to stretch cell
• Metaphase: all chromosomes line up at the metaphase plane
• Anaphase: sister chromatids are separated to different sides of the cell, both sides have equal amount of DNA, cell begins to elongate
• Telophase: nuclear envelopes form around each set of chromosomes, chromosomes uncoil into chromatin again
• Cytokinesis: plasma membrane pinching | plant cell: cell plate forms
• M checkpoint: After metaphase, checks if the chromosomes are properly aligned and attached to the spindle
• Apoptosis: programmed cell death
• Budding: Organism grown from a bud or a small point of attachment, cell growth in one area
