Part 1: Cell Cycle Phases

## The Cell Cycle Overview

Part 1 of 7 โ€” The Cell Cycle Overview

  1. Interphase (G1, S, G2) + Mitotic phase (M)
  2. Most of cell cycle spent in interphase (~90%)
  3. DNA replicated during S phase
  4. Cell growth in G1 and G2

Part 2: Interphase

## Interphase

Part 2 of 7 โ€” Interphase

  1. G1: cell growth, organelle duplication
  2. S phase: DNA replication (each chromosome โ†’ sister chromatids)
  3. G2: preparation for mitosis, error checking
  4. G0: cells that have exited the cell cycle

### Key Details

  • G1: cell growth, organelle duplication
  • S phase: DNA replication (each chromosome โ†’ sister chromatids)

Part 3: Mitosis

## Mitosis Phases

Part 3 of 7 โ€” Mitosis Phases

  1. Prophase: chromosomes condense, spindle forms
  2. Metaphase: chromosomes align at metaphase plate
  3. Anaphase: sister chromatids separate, move to poles
  4. Telophase: nuclear envelopes reform, chromosomes decondense

Check Your Understanding ๐ŸŽฏ

### Key Details

  • Prophase: chromosomes condense, spindle forms
  • Metaphase: chromosomes align at metaphase plate
  • Anaphase: sister chromatids separate, move to poles
