Cell Division
Prokaryotes Binary fission is the way in which bacteria divide and produce two new cells
Eukaryotes Occurs in two ways Mitosis- makes somatic (body) cells Meiosis – makes gametes (sex) cells

Mitosis
The process of cellular division is called mitosis.
Mitosis has four stages P M A T

Cell Cycle Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Cytokinesis Growth phase G1 Synthesis S Growth phase G2
Interphase G1 (Growth phase 1) – the cell begins to grow S (synthesis) – DNA is synthesized (copied) G2 (Growth phase 2) – the cell continues to grow. Until mitosis occurs
Controlling the Cell Cycle Cancer is a term used to describe uncontrolled cell growth. It is usually a malfunction in the cell cycle that causes cells to be continually traped in this cycle. This usually arises from a mutation in a gene.
