Study Notes
Cell Cycle Overview
- Cells can exit the cell cycle and enter a resting phase during the G0 phase.
- G0 is a quiescent state where cells do not actively prepare to divide.
Regulation of Cell Cycle
- Cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are key molecules that regulate the cell cycle, sending signals and executing regulation.
Mitosis Conditions
- In mitosis, if 2n=6, it means that there are three pairs of chromosomes, totaling six chromosomes.
Purpose of Mitosis and Meiosis
- The primary purpose of mitosis is cellular growth and repair, resulting in two genetically identical daughter cells.
- Meiosis is essential for sexual reproduction, producing gametes with half the chromosome number (haploid).
Disorders Due to Cell Cycle Malfunction
- Disorders such as cancer can result from the malfunction of cell cycle regulation, leading to uncontrolled cell division and tumor formation.
Final Preparations for Division
- The final preparations before cell division occur during the G2 phase, where the cell ensures it has all the necessary components for mitosis.
Quiescent Cells
- Cells in a quiescent state, such as stem cells, are usually not dividing but have the potential to divide when properly stimulated.
G1 Checkpoint Purpose
- The G1 or Cell Growth Checkpoint serves to assess if the cell is ready for DNA synthesis, checking for DNA damage, growth signals, and nutrient availability.
Mitosis Phases
- Mitosis involves four distinct phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, culminating in cell division.
Cell Cycle Control System Objective
- The main objective of a cell cycle control system is to ensure accurate and timely cell division, preventing errors that could lead to disease or structural abnormalities.
