The Cell Cycle
Jeremy Chassereau and Sayanna Bautista
Interphase
- 90 percent of cell cycle
- It is divided into three stages
- Three stages are G1,S, and G2
- G1 is the first growth phase
- S is the synthesis where DNA replicates
- G2 is the second growth phase where it gets ready for mitosis
Prophase
- First stage of mitosis
- The nucleus and nuclear membrane began to fade or disappear
- Centrioles start to move to the opposite side of the cell
Metaphase
- Chromosomes start to line up in the middle of the cell
Anaphase
- Chromosome pairs separate to form chromatids
Telophase
- 2 new nuclei are formed
- Chromatid is coiled into DNA
Cytokenisis
- Cytoplasm splits in 2
- 2 new cells are formed
Things in the cell
- Chromotid-Half of a Chromosome
- Chromosome-Carries genetic information
- Centromere-What holds the two Chromotids together
- Centrioles-Organelle that comes in pairs
- Spindle fibers-A protein structure that divides the genetic material
