Study Notes
Cell Cycle in Eukaryotic Cells
- DNA replication occurs in the S (Synthesis) phase of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells.
Stages of the Cell Cycle
- The main stages of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells are: G1 (Gap 1), S (Synthesis), G2 (Gap 2), and M (Mitosis).
Cell Cycle Control Mechanisms
- The control mechanisms that determine if a cell can progress to the next phase of the cell cycle are called checkpoints.
Cytokinesis in Eukaryotic Cells
- In eukaryotic cells, the replicated chromosomes, organelles, and cytoplasm separate into two new daughter cells during the M (Mitosis) stage of the cell cycle.
Cell Cycle in Prokaryotes
- In cells without nuclei (prokaryotes), the C period of the cell cycle refers to the stage of cellular replication where the cell divides into two daughter cells.
