The cell cycle is composed of interphase g s and g phases followed by the mitotic phase mitosis and cytokinesis and g phase. Interphase interphase lasts from the end of one nuclear division to the start of another. Although the resulting cells might differ functionally and morphologically at maturity they contain the same amount and type of dna.
As a result of cell division one cell is split in half to form two genetically identical ells. In this chapter we consider the mechanical events of the m phase of the cycle which is the culmination of the cycle and includes the various stages of nuclear division mitosis and cytoplasmic division cytokinesis. This cycle of duplication and division called the cell cycle is discussed in chapter 17.
Cells reproduce by duplicating their contents and dividing in two. It is the time during which the cell is preparing for division by undergoing both cell growth and dna replication. Interphase is called the resting phase.
It usually ends with division of cytoplasm cytokinesis. The m phase or mitosis starts with the nuclear division or karyokinesis separation of daughter chromosomes. The sequence of events is divided into phases corresponding to the completion of one set of activities and the start of the next.
M phase is complex and highly regulated. The relatively brief m phase consists of nuclear division karyokinesis it is a relatively short period of the cell cycle. Each of which are genetically different.
Nuclear division occures twice during meiosis as four haploid gametes are produced. In mitosis nuclear division only occurs once to produce two daughter cells genetically identical to each other. Nuclear division is the division of the nucleus occuring in both mitosis and meiosis during cell division.
That means successful cell division depends on the precision and regulation of each phase of mitosis.
Nuclear division phase. The mitotic phase is a relatively short period of the cell cycle it alternates with the much longer interphase where the cell prepares itself for the process of cell division interphase is divided into three phases. G 1 first gap s synthesis and g 2 second gap during all three parts of interphase the cell grows by producing proteins and cytoplasmic organelles. Cytokinesis is the process of cell division that divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells. It starts during the nuclear division phase anaphase and continues through.
The period prior to the synthesis of dna. In this phase the cell increases in mass in preparation for cell division. The g1 phase is the first gap phase. The period during which dna is synthesized.
In most cells there is a narrow window of time during which dna is synthesized. The s stands for synthesis. During the four phases of mitosis nuclear division occurs in order for one cell to split into two. Sounds simple enough right.
But different things occur in each step of mitosis and each step is crucial to cell division occurring properly.
