Study Notes

Cell Cycle and Cell Division

The shortest phase of the cell cycle is interphase.
Cell division involves both mitosis and cytokinesis.
The cell cycle includes interphase.
Interphase is further divided into the G0, G1, and S, and G2 phases.
The G0 phase is a non-dividing state, like nerve cells
G1 phase is cell growth.
The S phase is DNA replication
The G2 phase is the final preparation before mitosis.

Mitosis

Mitosis comprises distinct phases with specific tasks:
A series of events that result in the division of one cell into two genetically identical daughter cells.

Meiosis

Meiosis is a specialized type of cell division that produces gametes.
It involves two rounds of division.
The phases of meiosis, including major events, are crucial to the process
Meiosis I and Meiosis II lead to four genetically unique daughter cells
