Cell Cycle Flashcards
Senescent
Cells that stop dividing due to old age
Stages of cell division
1.Interphase
2.Mitotic phase
Interphase duration
15-23 hours

Interphase, m phase
Cells that permanently stay at G0
Nerve and heart cells
Cells that stay in G0 semi permanently
Liver and kidney cells
Cells that rarely enter G0 and continue dividing
Hematopoietic cells and intestinal epithelial cells
During G1
1.Cellular Growth
2.Synthesis of RNA and proteins
During S phase
DNA synthesis and chromosome replication
In which phase does the cell have double its DNA content?

Why does the cell cycle move in one direction and is irreversible?
Because of the regulated degradation of proteins
