Understanding the Cell Cycle and Mitosis

The document summarizes the cell cycle, which consists of interphase and mitosis. Interphase includes gap 1, DNA synthesis, and gap 2 phases to prepare the cell for division. Mitosis then occurs in four phases - prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase - where the cell nucleus and chromosomes divide. This results in two identical daughter cells through the process of cytokinesis.

Cell Cycle

(Mitosis)
Bolinget, Jonalyn
Buasen, Sharleen
Canabe, Karen
Interphase
 cell grows and performs it’s
function
 Three Stages:
1. Gap 1 phase
2. Synthesis phase
3. Gap 2 phase
Interphase
Gap 1 phase
- Replication of organelles
- Gap 1 Checkpoint

Synthesis phase (S phase)


- Replication of DNA
Interphase
Gap 2 phase
- Getting ready to divide
- Gap 2 Checkpoint
Interphase
Mitosis
 two identical cells
 Four phases:
1. Prophase
2. Metaphase
3. Anaphase
4. Telophase
Mitosis
1. Prophase
• Centrioles move to opposite
poles
• Spindles start to form
• Chromatin condense to form
chromosomes
• Nuclear membrane and
nucleolus disappear
Mitosis
2. Metaphase
• Formation of spindle fibers
• Spindle fibers are attached to
centromeres
• Chromosomes align at the
equator

* Metaphase Checkpoint
Mitosis
3. Anaphase

• Centromeres divide
• Sister chromatids separate
• Chromatids are pulled to
opposite poles of the cell
Mitosis
4. Telophase
• Nucleus and nucleolus
form
• Chromosomes
decondense to form
chromatin
• Spindle fibers disappear
• Cleavage furrow starts to
form
Cytokinesis

• The cell totally


divides into two
identical cells.
