Cell cycle is a 4-stage process that takes place in a cell as the cell grows and divides. Each complete cell division will result in two daughter cells. The four stages of cell division are Gap 1 ( G₁ phase ), Synthesis (S phase), Gap 2 ( G₂ phase ) and mitosis. Figure 3 Figure 3 - The G₁, S and G₂ phases are also known as interphase. The process of mitosis and cytokinesis are also called M phase. Stages of cell division Mitosis Mitosis is a process where a single cell divides to form two new identical daughter cells. The two daughter cells contain the same number of chromosomes and genetic content as their parent cell. Mitosis can be divided into 4 phases: Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Figure 4 Figure 4 - 1. During prophase, chromatin condenses and becomes tightly coiled to form chromosome structure. Each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids joined together at the centromere. At the end of prophase, nucleolus disappear and nuclear membrane disintegrates. Figure 5 Figure 5 - 2. Metaphase follows after prophase. Centrioles migrate to the opposite poles of the cell. The mitotic spindle/spindle fibres are fully formed. All the chromosomes are lined up randomly at the metaphase/equatorial plate. Metaphase ends when the centromeres divide. Figure 6 Figure 6 - 3. Anaphase begins when the sister chromatids separate at the centromere. Shortening of the spindle fibres pull the sister chromatids apart to the opposite poles. The separated chromatids are referred to as daughter chromosomes. Anaphase ends when the chromosomes reach the poles of the cell. Figure 7 Figure 7 - 4. Telophase begins when the sets of chromosomes reach the opposite poles of the cell respectively. The chromosomes then start to uncoil to become their original fine chromatin threads again. Nucleoli and nuclear membrane are reformed. Spindle fibres disappear and the process of mitosis is now complete. Cytokinesis follows after the telophase stage. The Differences between Mitosis and Cytokinesis in Animal and Plant Cells In plant cells, the spindle fibres form even though they do not have centrioles. The differences in the cytokinesis process in animal and plant cells can be seen in the figures below. Figure 8 Figure 8 - 1. In animal cells, the microfilaments in the cytoplasm contract pull a ring of plasma membrane inwards. The cytoplasm is constricted in the middle of the cell between two nuclei. Figure 9 Figure 9 - 2. The formation of cleavage furrow pinches at the equator of the cell. Figure 10 Figure 10 - 3. The cleavage furrow deepens progressively until the cell separates, forming two daughter cells. Figure 11 Figure 11 - 1. In plant cells, membrane-enclosed vesicles form and gather at the equator of the cell. Figure 12 Figure 12. - 2. The vesicles join together to form a cell plate. Figure 13 Figure 13 - 3. The cell plate divides the cell into two daughter cells. Cellulose produced by the cell strengthens the newly formed cell wall. The Necessity of Mitosis Controlled mitosis is important because the genetic information carried by the chromosomes is necessary for proper functioning of an organism. Mitosis is important in cell repair and regeneration. Here are some examples where mitosis plays an important role: Lizards grow new tail if their tails break Starfish replaces lost arms by mitosis Liver cells divide to replace damaged and injured tissues Stem cells culture to produce meats Animal cloning (Dolly, the sheep)

Ethics: The study of morality and the difference between right and wrong. Epistemology: The study and theory of knowledge. Metaphysics: The purpose of why things exist. What must be fulfilled? Why do we exist? Pre-Socrates: The very first thinkers in Western philosophy, active in ancient Greece during the 6th and 5th centuries BCE. They are called "Pre-Socratic" because they lived and wrote before Socrates. Thales: Water was the fundamental substance for all life. Anaximander: First to make a map Pythagoras: The father of mathematics Heraclitus: Fundamental substance was fire. He believed everything changes. Permenides: Believed everything did not change. Socrates Plato (Forms) Aristotle (The Observer) Came up with the cave theory. The Physical Realm: The world we see and touch. Everything here is temporary, constantly changing, and flawed. The Realm of Forms: An invisible, unchanging world where the perfect, ideal versions of everything exist. Women possess the same mental capacities as men and should be allowed to rule, he also consistently referred to women as the "weaker" sex. (The soul has no gender) Head/Reasoning: This is the seat of reason, logic, and intellect. It seeks the ultimate truth, makes calculated decisions, and distinguishes between what is real and what is an illusion. The Chest/Spirit: this is the seat of emotion, courage, pride, and willpower. It is the part of you that gets angry at injustice, drives you to overcome challenges, and seeks honor or social recognition. The Abdomen/Appetite: This is the seat of basic physical desires and instincts. It drives cravings for food, drink, sex, wealth, and material comforts. It is purely driven by pleasure and lacks any logical restraint. Hylomorphism (the theory that everything is a mix of matter and form). 1. Material cause, or the elements out of which an object is created; 2. Efficient cause, or the means by which it is created; 3. Formal cause, or the expression of what it is; 4. Final cause, or the end for which it is. He argued that knowledge must come from sensory experience and careful observation, not just pure meditation. Rationalism vs Empiricism (How do we know things) Rationalism (Plato) Empiricism The intellect, logic, and deductive reasoning. Rationalists believe humans are born with "innate ideas"—built-in concepts, truths, or structures inside the mind that we don't need to learn from the outside world (e.g., mathematical truths, the concept of God, or basic laws of logic). Empiricists argue that the ultimate source of all knowledge is sensory experience—what we can see, hear, touch, taste, and smell. They believe that if you cannot observe or measure something, you cannot truly know it. Logic for reasoning Deductive Reasoning Inductive reasoning Deductive reasoning starts with a general statement, theory, or universal rule and narrows it down to a specific conclusion. If your initial rules are true, your conclusion must be true.🔺 Inductive reasoning starts with specific observations or data points and broadens them out to form a general rule or theory. 🔻 Fallicies Ad Hominem: Attacking the opponent’s character, looks, or personality instead of their argument. Straw Man: Misrepresenting, exaggerating, or oversimplifying an opponent’s argument to make it easier to attack. Bandwagon Appeal (Ad Populum): Arguing that something must be true, right, or good simply because a large number of people believe it. Non Sequitur: (A statement that does not logically follow from what preceded it; a conclusion that does not follow from the premises.): “Person ‘A’ is incredibly athletic. Her siblings must be very athletic as well.” Appeal to tradition: If it's a tradition, then it must be true. Appeal to popularity: When someone argues that a claim must be true, right, or good simply because a large number of people believe it or do it. Groupthink is when a group of people makes really bad decisions because everyone cares more about fitting in and keeping the peace than finding the actual truth. Instead of thinking for themselves, people just go along with what the group leader or the majority says. Consequentialism says that an action is good if it brings about a good result. The action itself isn't good or bad; you have to wait and see how it turns out. "The ends justify the means." Non-Consequentialism (also called Deontology) says that some actions are just inherently right or wrong, no matter what the outcome is. You have a duty to follow moral rules. Carl Rogers defined a fully functioning person as someone who is completely in touch with their true desires and feelings, and is actively working to reach their full potential
