    Study Notes

    Cell Cycle and DNA Replication

    Functional Components of DNA

    • Chromatin, chromosome, and gene are all functional components of DNA.

    DNA Replication

    • DNA replication occurs in S-phase in eukaryotic cells.
    • DNA replication occurs in E. coli and yeast.
    • DNA replication does not occur in the cytoplasm of RBCs.

    Cell Division

    • Cell division occurs in some cells, but not all cells.
    • Cell division occurs in bacterial cells, but not in viruses.

    DNA Structure

    • In normal eukaryotic cells, like muscle cells, DNA is present in the form of chromatin.
    • Histones are present in chromatin and chromosomes.
    • Heterochromatin is the most condensed form of DNA.

    DNA Condensation

    • DNA gets decondensed for replication and transcription.

    S-I and S-II Genes

    • S-I DNA is present in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
    • S-II genes are present in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
    • Euchromatin is transcriptionally active, while chromosomes are not.

    Cell Cycle Phases

    • S-phase is absent in Nostoc.
    • DNA replication is absent in none of the cells mentioned.
    • Chromatin is absent in E. coli.
    • DNA replication in human cells occurs in the S-phase.
    • G2 is the gap between DNA replication and cell division.
    • Interphase involves G1, S-phase, and G2 phase, but not M-phase.

    Cell Cycle Control

    • The cell cycle is under genetic control and is a coordinated event.
    • The cell cycle occurs in eukaryotes, but not in prokaryotes.
    • DNA replication in yeast occurs in the S-phase.
    • Most changes occur in the S-phase during the cell cycle.
    • Chromosomes appear in the M-phase in E. coli.
