Cell Cycle and Reproductive Processes in Living Organisms

I. Cell Cycle

MITOSIS equals Somatic/Body cells minus for growth/repair

One. Interphase minus Longest stage/phase of the cycle minus Where the cell grows and prepares for cell division greater than G one (Gap one) minus Cell organelles increase in number and they produce carbohydrates, proteins, lipids greater than S-Phase (Synthesis Phase) minus DNA replication equals Daughter Cells must have the same exact DNA as the parent cells, hence why parent cells replicate their DNA

equals If the DNA doesn't replicate accurately it would cause the daughter cells to either have missing or extra genetic material and this could lead to disease such as Cancer minus Cells divide too much greater than G two (Gap two) minus Cell gets ready for cell division and other cell organelles further divide and increase in number equals if organelles did not increase then daughter cells would have missing organelles.

Two. M-Phase (Miotic Phase)

Where cell division happens minus A cell splits into two daughter cells (clones of the parents)

minus And the cycle repeats for each daughter cell

A. Prophase

Chromosomes condense and become visible minus minus Nuclear envelope dissolves

B. Metaphase minus Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plate called the metaphase phase Spindle fibers attach to the centromeres (middle of the chromosomes) minus

C. Anaphase minus Chromatids are pulled apart by the spindle fibers

D. Telophase minus Reconstruction of Nuclear envelope

Nucleus starts to reform minus CYTOKINESIS

minus The final divide minus Cytoplasm divides as the cell membrane pinches inward (cleavage furrow), eventually separating the cell into two daughter cells

MEIOSIS

minus Gametes (Sperm and Egg cells)

minus Sperm and Egg cells equals twenty-three chromosomes minus Meiosis allows genetic diversity equals everyone is different
