cell Cycle -
cells that have the ability to divide will
go through the cell cycle

G1 phase :1 Phase cell growth andreplication of organelles cytokinesis is when the cytoplasm divides and the cell


stages of the cell cycle 1 S phase Sphasec DNA replication splits into 2 (mitosis) and 4 (meiosis

cytokinesis

mitosis produces two daughter cells that have the some amount of chromosomes as the parent cell and each other

Mitosis , the division of a cell that results in


Identice daughter chan

copy of the DNA from the parent cell


prophase

nuclear - nuclear envelope breaks down

~ centrioles begin to form the spindle G

S
~ chromosomes are visible




metaphase

~ chromosomes attach to the spindle using the centromere
to calculate how long is spent in a certain phase, count the




centries
~ chromosomes are pulled along the spindle apparatus number of cells then work out the amount in that phase, then


~ chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell multiply by the total time to find the time in that phase

anaphase ·

the same features
~ chromosomes divide at the centromere into two sister chromatids
....
~
spindle contracts and chromatids are pulled to opposite poles of the cell



energy from the process is provided by the mitochondria

mitosis is a controlled process, when a rare mutation happens and it


telophase becomes uncontrollable it will lead to the formation of tumours or cancers
