Cell Cycle

​Mitosis

​

​* Mitosis is the type of cell division that leads to growth or cell repair

​

When the cell divides by mitosis:

• two new cells are formed​

• each cell is identical to the other one, and the cell they were formed from​

​The Cell Cycle is the series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide.

​

During the Cell Cycle, a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form two daughter cells, each of which begins the cycle again​.

​

Interphase is the period of growth that occurs between cell division

​

Interphase​ is divided into three phases: G1, S, & G2

​The G1 phase is a period of activity in which cells do most of their growing. Cells will increase in size and synthesize new proteins and organelles.

​The S phase replicates chromosomes and synthesizes DNA molecules. When DNA replication is completed, the cell enters the G2 phase.

​During the G2 phase, many of the organelles and molecules required for cell division are produced.

When G2 is completed, the cell is ready to enter the M phase.

​Mitosis are divided into four phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, & telophase
