It is an ordered series of events involving cell growth and cell division that produces two new daughter cells.
Cell Cycle
What are the two major phase of Cell Cycle?
Interphase
Mitotic phase
During this phase, the cell grows and DNA is replicated.
Interphase
During this phase, the replicated DNA and cytoplasmic contents are separated and the cell divides.
Mitotic Phase
What are the three stages of Interphase?
G1 Phase
S Phase
G2 Phase
This is the first stage of interphase, and is called the 'first gap.'
G1 Phase
During this stage of interphase, the centrosome is duplicated.
S Phase
The S Phase is also called as...
Synthesis phase
This stage of interphase involves cell growth and protein synthesis.
G1 phase
During interphase, this stage involves DNA replication and the replication of the centrosome.
S Phase
During interphase, this stage involves further cell growth and protein synthesis.
G2 Phase
This phase ends when mitosis begins.
G2 phase
During this stage of interphase, the cell grows more, makes proteins and organelles, and begins to reorganize its contents in preparation for mitosis.
G2 phase
G2 phase is also called...
Second Gap Phase
During this interphase, chromatin condenses into chromosomes; nuclear envelope breaks down; centrioles move apart and form spindle fibers; spindle attaches to kinetochores on sister chromatids at opposite poles of the cell.
Prophase
During this interphase, sister chromatids line up along the equatorial plane of the cell; spindle fibers attach to kinetochore regions of all chromosomes.
Metaphase
During this interphase, centromeres split, separating sister chromatids; sister chromatids are pulled toward opposite poles by shortening spindle fibers.
Anaphase
During this interphase, nuclear envelopes reform around separated sets of chromosomes; chromosomes begin to uncoil; spindle fibers break down.
Telophase
It is the second part of the mitotic phase during which cell division is completed by the physical separation of the cytoplasmic components into two daughter cells.
