Cell Cycle |
Interphase (G1, S, G2) and mitosis |
|
Interphase |
the cell grows, replicates DNA, longest part of the cell cycle |
|
G1 |
cell grows larger, makes more ribosomes, organelles, mRNA and proteins |
|
S |
cell makes a copy of its DNA so that each daughter cell will have a full set. Also replicates centrosomes |
|
G2 |
cell grows larger and organizes itself to prepare for mitosis. The DNA condenses (clumps together) into thin strands called chromatin. |
|
G0 |
resting phase |
|
Cancer |
unhealthy cells divide rapidly. Some types of cancer treatments focus on stopping or slowing down DNA replication in order to stop mitosis from occurring. These treatments often have very serious side effects because they damage the cell cycles of healthy cells too. |
|
Mitosis |
during mitosis, the cell divides into two identical cells. These two new cells are called daughter cells. They have the exact same genetic information as the original cell. Mitosis can be divided into five phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis. |
|
Cell Division |
process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells; part of a larger cell cycle |
|
Parent Cell |
parent cell divides into two identical cells during mitosis |
|
Daughter Cells |
the effect of the parent cells dividing during mitosis; same genetic information as the parent cell; identical to the parent cell |
|
Checkpoint |
|
|
Prophase |
The chromosomes appear condensed and the nuclear envelope is not apparent |
|
Metaphase |
chromosomes line up along metaphase plate |
|
Anaphase |
The chromatids of each chromosome have separated and are moving toward the poles |
|
Telophase |
The chromosomes are at the poles and are becoming more diffuse The nuclear envelope is forming The cytoplasm may be dividing |
|
Cytokinesis |
division into two daughter cells is completed |
|
Cell Plate |
