Cell Cycle Diagram |
|
|
|
Cell Cycle Definition |
The process that all body cells in multicellular organisms use to grow |
|
|
G1 Phase |
Cell grows and new organelles and proteins are made |
|
|
S Phase |
Cell replicates its DNA ready to divide by mitosis |
|
|
G2 Phase |
Cell continues to grow and proteins required for cell division are made. |
|
|
M Phase |
Mitosis and Cytokinesis |
|
|
G1 Checkpoint |
The cell checks that the chemicals needed for replication are present and checks for any damage to the DNA |
|
|
G2 Checkpoint |
The cell checks that all the DNA has been replicated without any damage, if it has the cell can enter mitosis |
|
|
M Checkpoint |
Cell examines whether all the sister chromatids are correctly attatched to the spindle microtubules |
|
|
G0 |
Occurs when cells exit the cell cycle, this could be as it has finished dividing or due to environmental factors e.g nutrient deprivation |
