Cell Cycle - The regular pattern of growth, DNA duplication, and cell division that occurs
in eukaryotic cells.
What are the four stages of the cell cycle? - Gap 1, Synthesis, Gap 2, (Interphase) and
mitosis.
What happens during interphase? - Cells carry out their normal functions and undergo
critical growth and prepare for cell division.
Gap 1 (G1) - A cell spends most of its time in this stage. Carries out normal functions.
Cells increase in size and organelles increase in number.
Synthesis (S) - The cell makes a copy of its nuclear DNA. By the end of synthesis, the cell
nucleus contains two complete sets of DNA.
Gap 2 (G2) - Cells continue to carry out their normal functions, and additional growth
occurs. Everything must be in order before the cell goes through mitosis and division.
Mitosis - The division of the cell nucleus and its contents. Occurs in body cells. The
nuclear membrane dissolves. the duplicated DNA condenses around proteins and separates,
and two new nuclei form.
Cytokinesis - The process that divides the cell cytoplasm. The result is two daughter cells
that are genetically identical to the original cell.
Chromosome - One long continuous thread of DNA that consists of numerous genes
along with regulatory information. Our body cells have 46 chromosomes each.
Histones - Protein that organizes chromosomes and around which DNA wraps.
