Cell Division Intro

The cell cycle is divided into two main stages: interphase and M-phase. Interphase consists of three phases - G1, S, and G2 phases. In G1, the cell grows and organelles are formed. In S phase, DNA replication occurs and each chromosome is made of two sister chromatids. In G2, preparations are made for cell division. M-phase is when the cell undergoes mitosis or meiosis, dividing the nucleus and cytoplasm. Mitosis produces two daughter cells identical to the parent cell, while meiosis produces four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes and allows for genetic variation.

Cell Growth

The entire cycle is divided


into two main stages:

Interphase
M-phase
INTERPHASE
G1 (Growth 1) Phase
The cell is young and undergoes rapid growth

Organelles are formed

Proteins are produced

The longest phase in most cells

Muscle & nerve cells remain at this stage throughout their


life cycle
S (Synthesis) Phase
The DNA inside the nucleus of the cell
doubles
at this stage by a process called replication

At the end of the stage, the chromosome is


made up of two sister chromatids attached at
the centromere
G2 (Growth 2) Phase
“
Preparations for cell division

Assembly of proteins such as


microtubules, hollow protein fibers that
cause the chromosomes to move during
cell division
M (Mitosis/Meiosis) Phase
The cell undergoes division

Division of the nucleus is called


karyokinesis while division of the
cytoplasm is called cytokinesis
Comparing Mitosis and
Meiosis
MITOSIS MEIOSIS
Number of daughter cells 2 4
produced
Number of chromosomes is halved NO YES
(Yes / No)
Pairing of homologous NO YES
chromosomes take place.
(Yes/No)
The daughter cells produced are YES NO
always identical in terms of genetic
material. (Yes/No)
