during this cycle the cell grows, prepares for division and divides into 2 daughter cells |

Definition
Interphase consists of 3 stages:
- G1 phase-cell growth
- S phase-DNA replication
- G2 phase- cell prepares for division
The cell spends most of its life in Interphase. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
The first stage of cell division. It involves division of the cell nucleous |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Follows interphase. This phase produces 2 identical daughter cells. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The second stage of cell division. It involves the division of the cell cytoplasm. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Most of the cell growth happens in this phase. Protiens and organels are also synthesised in this phase. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| After S-phase, many of the organells and molecules needed for cell division are produced. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Synthesis phase. chromosomes are replicated and new DNA is formed. The cell now contains 2 times as much DNA as it did in the begining. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| First phase of mitosis where the genetic information inside the nucleous condenses and the duplicated chromosomes becomes visible. Outside the nucleous the spindle begins to form. |
|
