Cell cycle

Cards (19)

  • CELLCYCLE - It is a series of events that leads the cells to duplicate their genetic contents and divide into daughter cells
  • The entire cycle is divided into two main stages
  • Interphase - it is divided into three stages: G1 phase, S Phase and G2 phase
  • M-phase (where M stands for either Meiosis or Mitosis) - The cell undergoes division
  • As new cells are produced during cell division (mitosis & meiosis) the cell passes through different stages of development.
  • What is this?
    Cell cycle
  • Identify the missing
    Blue arrow: Interphase
    Yellow: G1 growth
    Orange: S DNA Replicate
  • Identify the missing
    Purple: G1 growth, preperation for cell division
    Green: mitosis
    Green arrow: cytokenisis
  • Cytokinesis - The final step of mitosis where the cytoplasm divides to form two separate cells.
  • The cell grows and replicates its chromosome to prepare cell division
  • It is also a part where the cell is most active metabolically.
  • It spends 90% of time in the process
  • G1 Phase - The cell at this stage is still young and it undergoes rapid growth
  • G1 phase - Organelles are formed
  • G1 phase - The longest phase in
  • S phase - The DNA doubles at this stage by the process called replication.
  • S phase - At the end of this stage, each chromosome is made up of two sister chromatids attached at the centromere.
  • G2 phase - Preparation for cell division
  • G2 phase - Assembly of proteins, such as microtubules, hollow protein fibers that cause the chromosomes to move during cell division.
