Study Notes
- Cell cycle: series of events leading to the creation of a new cell
- Two major phases: Interphase and Mitotic Phase
- Interphase: resting stage, accounts for most of the cell cycle
- Four stages in Interphase: G0, G1, S, and G2
- G0: resting phase where cell neither divides nor grows, occurs in mature cells
- G1: longest stage, cell grows and produces RNA and proteins for upcoming division
- S: stage for DNA replication, carries genetic information
- G2: cell grows and produces proteins, stores energy
- Mitotic Phase: active phase leading to cell division
- Prophase: nucleus wall starts to dissolve, spindle formation begins
- Metaphase: chromosomes align at the middle of the cell, spindle fully developed
- Anaphase: chromosomes separate into chromatids, separation at the centromere
- Telophase: cleavage forms in the cell, chromosomes reach opposite ends, spindle and fibers dissolve, nuclear wall starts to form.
