M phase
Study Notes
Cell Cycle Phases
- The two main stages of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells are Interphase and Cell Division (Mitosis and Cytokinesis)
Cell Division
- The process of cell division into two daughter cells is called Cytokinesis
Cell Cycle Control Mechanisms
- Checkpoints (control mechanisms) are in place after each key step of the cell cycle to ensure normal progression
Interphase
- During Interphase, the cell grows, replicates its DNA, and prepares for cell division by synthesizing organelles and proteins
Cell Division Phases
- In the Mitosis phase, replicated chromosomes separate, and in the Cytokinesis phase, the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two new daughter cells
Test your knowledge of the cell cycle with this quiz! Explore the stages of DNA replication, organelle duplication, and cell division in eukaryotic cells. Challenge yourself with questions on the key events that lead to the formation of two daughter cells.
