Study Notes
Cell Cycle in Prokaryotic Cells
- During the C period, the cytoplasm divides and the cell splits into two daughter cells.
- The B period is the stage where the cell grows, replicates its DNA, and prepares for cell division.
Cell Cycle in Eukaryotic Cells
- The two main stages of the cell cycle are Interphase and Mitosis.
- Interphase is further divided into three stages: Gap 1 (G1), Synthesis (S), and Gap 2 (G2).
- Mitosis is the stage where the replicated DNA is divided equally between two daughter cells.
Cell Division
- The process of a cell dividing into two daughter cells is called Binary Fission.
Cell Cycle Regulation
- The control mechanisms that determine if a cell can progress to the next phase are called Checkpoints.
