Study Notes
The Cell Cycle
- The cell cycle is the three stages of the life of a cell
- Interphase: most of the life of the cell, cells are growing
- Mitosis: the nucleus of the cell divides into two equal and identical parts
- Cytokinesis: the two equal cells separate
Stages of Mitosis
- Prophase: duplicated chromosomes form an X shape, nucleolus disappears, spindle fibers form
- Metaphase: duplicated chromosomes line up across the middle of the cell
- Anaphase: duplicated chromosomes move apart
- Telophase: a nucleolus forms around chromosomes at opposite ends of the dividing cell
Mutagens and the Cell Cycle
- Mutagens can cause continuous cell division
- This can result in tumors which can be cancerous
- Cancerous cells may spread to other parts of the body and continue dividing
The Cell Cycle
- The cell cycle is the three stages in the life of a cell: Interphase, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis.
- Interphase is the longest stage in which the cell grows and carries out its functions, the nucleus copies DNA via replication.
- Mitosis divides the nucleus of the cell into two identical parts with a copy of the DNA.
- Cytokinesis is the final stage where the two identical parts of the cell separate resulting in two identical cells with a nucleus and DNA.
Phases of Mitosis
- Prophase: Duplicated chromosomes form an X shape, the nucleolus disappears, spindle fibers begin to form.
- Metaphase: Duplicated chromosomes line up across the middle of the cell.
- Anaphase: Duplicated chromosomes move apart to opposite ends of the cell.
- Telophase: A nucleolus forms around the chromosomes at the opposite ends of the dividing cell.
Mutagens
- Mutagens can change the cell cycle and cause continuous cell division leading to a tumor.
- Uncontrolled cell division from mutagens can lead to cancer.
- Cancerous cells may grow locally or spread to other parts of the body, where they continue to divide.
