Ch Cell Cycle
Stages of the cell cycle 4 stages ▫Gap 1 (G 1 ) ▫Synthesis ▫Gap 2 (G 2 ) ▫Mitosis A cell won’t proceed through the cycle until it’s ready ▫Prevents errors (cancer)
Gap 1 (G 1 ) First stage of cell cycle Cell carries out its normal function ▫Skeletal cells contracts to move joints ▫Adrenal cells secrete hormones ▫Intestinal cells absorb nutrients, etc. Cells increase in size & organelles increase in number Cells must pass critical checkpoint before proceeding to DNA synthesis
Synthesis (S) Second stage Synthesis=“combining of parts to make a whole” Cell makes a copy of its nuclear DNA Contains 2 complete sets of DNA by end of the S stage
Gap 2 (G 2 ) Third stage Continues to carry out normal functions Additional growth occurs Another critical checkpoint to ensure adequate cell size and that DNA is undamaged.
2
Mitosis (M) Fourth stage Includes 2 processes ▫Mitosis= division of the nucleus and its contents ▫Cytokinesis= division of the cytoplasm Results in 2 genetically identical daughter cells
Cells divide at different rates Aligned to your body’s need for those cells In human cells: S, G 2, and M stages together take about 12 hours Cell division is greater in children than adults ▫Their cell cycles are also shorter Certain cells, such as neurons and lymphocytes, divide rarely ▫Usually in G 0 stage
