CELL CYCLE

The cell cycle is the sequence of stages a cell goes through from one division to the next, resulting in the formation of two identical daughter cells. It consists of two main phases: Interphase, which includes G1, S, and G2 phases, and Phase M, where mitosis occurs. The duration of the cell cycle varies by cell type and environmental conditions, ranging from hours to days.

CELL CYCLE :

Almost all cells, after a time, reproduce, forming new daughter


cells. The time that a cell takes to reproduce varies:

- Bacterial cells divide every 30 minutes

- Liver cells divide every two hours

- Erythrocytes or neurons never reproduce

Cell reproduction is carried out through cellular division, in which two


daughter cells are formed, and they are identical to the mother cell.
The duration of the cellular cycle depends on the type of cell and
environmental conditions such as temperature, nutrients,… It can last
for a few hours to several days.

In the cell cycle in Eukaryotic cells, two phases are distinguished:

 INTERPHASE or non-dividing phase: it is the initial phase ,


with a long duration in which nucleus can be observed
( interphasic nucleus). This phase is divided into:

o G1 Phase: the daughter cell grows, reaching the size of


an adult and organelles are synthesized. Some cells do
not follow the cellular cycle and remain in G1 phase (i.e.
neurons)

o S Phase: the replication of the DNA takes place. This


process is needed so that after the clle division, each
daughter cell receives the same amount of DNA as the
mother cell.

o G2 Phase: in this period the cell hardly has activity and


it is prepared to begin the division

 PHASE M or dividing phase: it is the final phase with a short


duration. The nucleus envelope disappears and chromosomes
becom visible. Mitosis takes place, dividing the nucleus and
the cytoplasm of the cell ( cytokinesis) and obtaining two
daughter cells from the mother cell.
