Binary fission is a form of cell division in prokaryotic organisms that produces identical offspring. As a eukaryotic cell prepares to divide, the DNA and associated proteins coil into a structure, known as a chromosome. The DNA copies during the S phase of the cell cycle, resulting in a chromosome that consists of two identical chromatids, known as sister chromatids, attached at a region called the centromere. Any cell containing two sets of chromosomes is said to be diploid; the zygote forms from the fusion of two haploid gametes. The cell cycle has five phases: the first growth (G1) phase, the synthesis (S) phase, the second growth (G2) phase, mitosis, and cytokinesis. Mitosis is the division of the nucleus; four distinct phases of mitosis have been recognized: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm. The cell cycle is controlled through feedback mechanisms. Cancer results from uncontrolled cell division, due to the loss of regulation of the cell cycle.
