Transcript of Cell Cycle
Cell Cycle
Interphase
• There are 3 parts of Interphase:– G1 - The cell grows– S - The cell copies its DNA (synthesis)– G2 - The cell checks its systems
before dividing
MITOSIS
• Start with one cell• Ends with two new cells that are identical to the
original cell (with the same number of chromosomes)• New cells are called daughter cells
Cell Cycle
CANCERuncontrolled cell division
Meiosis
• Meiosis is a special process of cell division that results in the formation of gamete cells (sperm and egg)
• Each gamete cell has only half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell.
Principles of Meiosis
• Independent Assortment – chromosomes separate into gamete cells “independently” of each other. The result is that each gamete cell has a different set of the parent’s chromosomes.
• Crossing Over – chromosomes can trade genes among themselves, so that a gene on one chromosome can end up on a different chromosome.
