Study Notes
Mitosis Overview
- Prophase represents an early and late stage, indicating the progression within this phase of mitosis.
- Metaphase is identified by the cell labeled as C, where chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane.
- The first phase of the cell cycle is represented by cell D, which occurs before mitosis.
Cell Diagram Ordering
- The correct sequence of the cell phases, from first to last, is DAFCB.
Cell Type Identification
- The cells depicted are animal cells, as evidenced by the presence of centrioles, which are not found in plant cells.
Cell Cycle Phases
- The Synthesis phase, also referred to as the interphase, is the longest phase of the entire cell cycle, focusing on DNA replication and preparation for mitosis.
Importance of Mitosis
- Mitosis plays a crucial role in cellular multiplication, necessary for tissue repair and the replacement of damaged cells, such as skin cells.
