Cell Cycle

  • Cell Cycle
    • Interphase
      • Cell VOLUME increases
      • Sub-cellular structures/organelles replicate
      • DNA REPLICATES
      • Chromosomes not visible
      • Longest stage in the cell cycle
      • Processes occur (respiration and protein synthesis)
      • Stage of cell activity before cell division
    • Mitosis
      • Metaphase
        • Spindle fibres attach to centromeres
          • spindle fibres pull the chromatids to line them up at the EQUATOR
      • Prophase
        • Chromosome coil and CONDENSE (shorten and thicken)
          • Chromosome are visible
        • SISTER CHROMATID are joined together by CENTROMERE
        • Spindle fibres develop from the CENTRIOLE at OPPOSITE POLES of the cell
      • Anaphase
        • Spindle fibres CONTRACT, dividing the centromeres into 2
        • Spindle fibres pull chromatids APART to OPPOSITE POLES of the cell
          • Energy for this is required which comes from respiration rom mitochondria
      • Telophase
        • Nuclear envelope and nucleolus develops
        • Chromosome reach the poles
        • Chromosomes de-coil and DE-CONDENSE into chromatin (elongate)
          • No longer visible under a light microscope
      • Cell division (mitosis) - a diploid cell dividing into 2 GENTICALLY IDENTICAL DIPLOID DAUGHTER  cells
    • Cytokenesis
      • 2 GENTICALLY IDENTICAL DIPLOID DAUGHTER  cells are produced from the mother cell
      • Cytoplasm and cell membrane divides
    • Cell division (mitosis) - a diploid cell dividing into 2 GENTICALLY IDENTICAL DIPLOID DAUGHTER  cells
  • Spindle fibres pull chromatids APART to OPPOSITE POLES of the cell
    • Energy for this is required which comes from respiration rom mitochondria
