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

The chromosomes appear condensed and the nuclear envelope is not apparent

Metaphase

chromosomes line up along metaphase plate

chromosomes line up along metaphase plate

Anaphase

The chromatids of each chromosome have separated and are moving toward the poles

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

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

division into two daughter cells is completed
