10 Cell Cycle N Cell Division

The document discusses the cell cycle which is the life period of a cell from one division to the next. It has two main phases, interphase and M phase. Interphase consists of G1, S, and G2 phases where the cell grows and DNA is replicated. M phase is where the cell divides through mitosis and cytokinesis. The duration of the cell cycle varies between organisms and cell types.

• Growth and reproduction of all
organisms depend on the division &
enlargement of cells.
• The mechanisms of division and
multiplication of cells together
constitute cell reproduction.

CELL CYCLE

• It is the life period of a cell


during which a cell synthesizes
DNA (replication), grows and
divides into two daughter cells.
• Cell growth (cytoplasmic
increase) is a continuous
process.
• DNA synthesis occurs only at a
specific stage.

CELL CYCLE

• Duration of cell cycle varies in


each organism and each cell
type.
• Duration of a typical eukaryotic
cell cycle (e.g. human cell) is
about 24 hrs.
• In Yeasts, it is only about 90
minutes.

CELL CYCLE

Cell cycle has 2 basic


phases:
1.Interphase
2.M Phase

bankofbiology.com
CELL CYCLE 1. Interphase (Resting phase)

• It is the phase between two


successive M phases.
• It includes cell growth &
DNA synthesis.
• It lasts more than 95% of the
duration of cell cycle.

CELL CYCLE 1. Interphase (Resting phase)

Interphase has 3 phases:


a. G1 phase (Gap 1 or
Antephase)
b. S (Synthetic) phase
c. G2 (Gap 2) phase

CELL CYCLE 1. Interphase (Resting phase)
a. G1 phase (Gap 1 or Antephase)

• First growth phase.


• It is the interval between mitosis and
DNA replication.
Main events:
• Continuous growth of cell.
• Cell becomes metabolically active.
• Prepares machinery for DNA
replication.
• Synthesizes RNA and proteins.

CELL CYCLE 1. Interphase (Resting phase)
b. S (Synthetic) phase

• In this, DNA replication takes place.


• Amount of DNA per cell doubles.
But, chromosome number is not
increased.
• In animal cells, replication begins in
the nucleus, and the centriole
duplicates in the cytoplasm.

CELL CYCLE 1. Interphase (Resting phase)

c. G2 phase (Gap 2)

• Second growth phase.


• Cell growth continues.
• Synthesis of RNA and proteins
continues.
• Cell is prepared for mitosis.

bankofbiology.com
CELL CYCLE 2. M Phase (Mitosis phase)

• It represents the actual cell


division (mitosis). Karyokinesis
• In human cell cycle, it lasts for
only about an hour.
• M Phase includes
 Karyokinesis: Nuclear
division.
Cytokinesis
 Cytokinesis: Division of
cytoplasm.

CELL CYCLE 2. M Phase (Mitosis phase)

• Some cells do not show division.


E.g. heart cells.
• Many other cells divide only
occasionally to replace damaged
or dead cells.

bankofbiology.com
CELL CYCLE 2. M Phase (Mitosis phase)

• The cells that do not divide


further exit G1 phase and enter an
inactive stage called quiescent
stage (G0).
• Such cells remain metabolically
active but do not proliferate.
