New cards
Cell Cycle
A highly regulated process that ensures proper cell growth, DNA replication, and cell division, leading to the production of two daughter cells with identical genetic material.
2
New cards
Interphase
The longest phase of the cell cycle, where the cell grows, carries out its normal functions, and replicates its DNA.
3
New cards
Mitotic Phase
The shortest phase of the cell cycle, involving the actual division of the cell into two daughter cells.
4
New cards
Cytokinesis
The final stage of the cell cycle, where the cytoplasm divides, and two daughter cells are formed.
5
New cards
Cell-Cycle Control System
A complex network of molecular checkpoints and regulatory mechanisms that ensure the orderly progression of the cell cycle.
6
New cards
Meiosis
A specialized form of cell division that occurs in sexually reproducing organisms, resulting in the production of gametes.
7
New cards
Meiosis I
The first division of meiosis, involving the pairing and separation of homologous chromosomes.
8
New cards
Meiosis II
The second division of meiosis, similar to a mitotic division, involving the separation of sister chromatids.
