Cell division

• The cell cycle - ordered cycle of cell growth, DNA replication and cell division that leads to the formation of two daughter cells.
• Prokaryotic cell - separate the original in its replica
• Eukaryotic cell - ability to replicate DNA
• Cytokinesis - eventual division of cytoplasm, resulting in

  two new cells.
• Interphase - nondividing phase, resting stage between cell

  divisions, period between two consecutive cell division, engaged in constantly producing ribonucleic acid (RNA)
• 4 phases of interphase:

  1.) Gap 1 (G1)

  2.) Synthesis (S)

  3.) Gap 2 (G2)

  4.) Gap 0 (G0)
• Gap 1 (G1 phase) - primary growth phase of the

  cell, carries out its normal functions, increases in size in preparation for cell division, production of RNA, and protein creation
• Synthesis (S phase) - DNA replication occurs
• DNA replication - process where the complete genetic information and

  chromosomes are duplicated.
• Gap 2 (G2 phase) - to grow and to produce new

  proteins, fills the gap between DNA synthesis in the beginning of

  mitotic cell division
• Gap 0 (G0 phase)- cells stop dividing and leave the cycle as early as in G1 . This can be a temporary or permanent rest. Cells in here are in the nondividing phase outside of the cell cycle.
• Mitosis - type of cell division of the nucleus that takes place in

  somatic or body cells.
• Mitosis - cell regeneration, cell replacement, growth in living

  organisms
• Mitosis - I Peed on the MAT (Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase)
• Mitosis Interphase - parent cell prepares itself

  for mitosis, the cell is busy growing
• Mitosis Prophase - The cell is now ready to undergo cell division. Chromatin condenses into chromosomes. Nucleolus disappears.
