Cell cycle

Cards (21)

  • Cell cycle - 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
    Mphase
    1. Interphase - it is divided into three (3) stages: G1 phase, S Phase and G2 phase
  • M-phase - The cell undergoes division
  • Interphase - It is known as "preparatory stage" or non dividing stage
  • Interphase - The cell grows and replicates its chromosome to prepare cell division
  • G1 phase - It is also a part where the cell is most active metabolically
  • During interphase 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 - Proteins are produced
  • G1 phase - The longest phase in most cells
  • 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.
  • Cytokenisis - is the physical process of cell division, which divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells. 
  • Mitosis - the process by which a cell replicates its chromosomes and then segregates them, producing two identical nuclei in preparation for cell division. 
  • G1 - growth
  • S phase - DNA REPLICATES
  • G2 - growth, preperation for cell division
