cell cycle regulation Flashcards
cell cycle
life of a cell from its formation until it divides
function for cell division
reproduction
growth
tissue repair
phases of cell cycle
interphase (Gi phase, S phase, G2 phase)
miotic (M) phase (mitosis, cytokinesis)
how much of the cell cycle in interphase
90%
Gi phase
cell grows and carries out normal functions
S phase
duplicates chromosones
G2 phase
prepares for cell division
how much of the cell cycle is the M phase
10%
what happens during mitosis
nucleus divides
what happens during cytokinesis
cytoplasm divides
what alternation happens during the cell cycle
mitotic phase alternates with interphase
G1 🡪 S 🡪 G2 🡪 mitosis 🡪 cytokinesis
checkpoint
control point where stop/go signals regulate the cell cycle
major checkpoints in the cell cycle
Gi checkpoint (most important)
G2 checkpoint
M-spindle (metaphase) checkpoint
