Study Notes
Cell Division and the Cell Cycle
- The process of a cell dividing into two daughter cells is called mitosis.
Cell Cycle Phases
- DNA replication occurs during the S phase (synthesis phase) of the cell cycle.
Cell Cycle Control
- Checkpoints are the control mechanisms that ensure proper replication and division of cellular components.
Cell Types and Cell Cycles
- Somatic cells (non-reproductive cells) have a cell cycle divided into interphase and the mitotic phase.
The Mitotic Phase
- During the mitotic phase of the cell cycle, the replicated DNA is divided equally between two daughter cells.
