Cell Cycle Flashcards
The cell cycle can be divided into what three periods:
Interphase- the cell grows, accumulating nutrients needed for mitosis, preparing it for cell division and duplicating its DNA
Mitotic (M) Phase- the cell splits itself into two distinct daughter cells
Final stage, cytokinesis, the new cell is completely divided.
What order does the cell cycle occur?
- Interphase: G1, S, G2
- G1- cell enters cycle (No Dna Synthesis)
- S- DNA is synthesize and duplicated
- G2- RNA and protien synthesis Occur and cell grows more before entering the M Phase.
- Mitotic (M) Phase
- Where Mitosis Occurs
- Prophase, Metaphase,Anaphase, Telophase
- Cytokinesis
What is the longest cycle of the cell cycle?
Interphase
What does Interphase include?
G1, S, G2
What happens in the G1 phase
The cell enters the cell cycle
What happens in the S phase?
DNA synthesis and replication
What happens in the G2 phase?
Cell grows and RNA protien synthesis occurs
What happens during Mitosis (M) Phase?
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
Prophase: Chromatins condense and the nucleus dissapears
Metaphase:Chromosomes line up along equatorial plane
Anaphase: Chromosome break and line up at the opposite ends off the cell.
Telophase: Cell divide thru cytokinesis and two daughter cell produced.
