Cell Cycle

The document discusses the cell cycle, which consists of interphase, cell division, and cytokinesis. Interphase includes the G1, S, and G2 phases where the cell grows, DNA replicates, and organelles form. Cell division is mitosis, which has prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase where chromosomes condense, align, separate, and reach opposite poles. Mitosis forms identical daughter cells through replication of genetic material.

Lesson 3

The Cell Cycle


Cell cycle
The Cell cycle  is the period 
from cell reproduction to the 
next cell reproduction.
Cell cycle
There are 3 main parts to this 
process:
1. Interphase
2. Cell division
includes mitosis оr meiosis
3. Cytokenesis
1. Interphase
There are three stages 
in interphase:
G1 (or gap 1),
S (or synthesis)
G2 (or gap 2).
1. Interphase

• G1  –  this  is  the  period  where 


the cell grows and develops.
1. Interphase

• S - DNA replication. THE FORMATION OF 
CHROMATIDS  (TWO  COPIES  OF  ONE 
CHROMOSOME)
The two sister chromatids are attached 
to  each  other  at  a  point  called  the 
centromere.  
1. Interphase
1. Interphase
• G2 –  Organelles  and  other 
materials  required  for  cell 
division are replicated or formed.  
For example, the centrioles in 
animal cells replicate themselves, 
to form 2 pairs. 
Interphase

Mitosis
Mitosis  is  the  type  of  the  cell  cycle 
when  the  cells  nucleus  is  replicated  and 
divided  into two identical nuclei
containing genetically identical material.  
This type of cell division is for growth,
repair and asexual reproduction. Mitosis 
forms somatic  cells,  (having  a  2n  or 
diploid number of chromosomes).

Mitosis Characteristic
G1 –the cell grows and develops
Interphase S - DNA replication
G2 – Organelles and other materials required for cell division are replicated or formed

Prophase The chromatin coils to form chromosomes. The nuclear 
envelope breaks down. Microtubules connect the 
centromere to the centrosomes
Metaphase The microtubules line up the chromosomes at 
the cell's equator

Anaphase The chromatids separate, and the new chromosomes 
(each derived from one chromatid) move toward the 
poles

Telophase The separating chromosomes reach the poles. The 
nuclear envelopes reform and the chromatin 
decondenses
