Study Notes
Cell Cycle Phases
-
DNA Replication Phase: Occurs during the S (Synthesis) phase of interphase, where each chromosome is duplicated to ensure genetic continuity.
-
Genetic Information Distribution: The M (Mitosis) phase, particularly during anaphase and telophase, ensures each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes.
-
Cytoplasm Division: Cytokinesis, which is the terminal part of the M phase, involves the division of the cytoplasm, resulting in two distinct daughter cells.
-
Cell Growth and Normal Functions: G1 (Gap 1) phase is crucial for cell growth, allowing the cell to increase in size and carry out regular metabolic activities.
-
DNA Integrity Check: The G2 (Gap 2) phase involves a checkpoint that assesses DNA damage and ensures conditions are optimal for mitosis, safeguarding genetic stability before division.
