1. Cell Cycle Essential Standards
Bio Analyze how cells grow and reproduce in terms of interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis

2. Cell Division in Prokaryotes
Binary fission is the process of cell division in prokaryotes.

3. Cell Division in Eukaryotes
Cell Cycle
The cell cycle is the repeating set of events in the life of a cell.
The cell cycle consists of cell division and interphase.
Cell division in eukaryotes includes nuclear division, called mitosis, and the division of cytoplasm, called cytokinesis.

4. Interphase Interphase consists of
G1 – growth
S - DNA replication
G2 - preparation for cell division, chromosomes start to coil up
The cell spends most of its time in interphase

5. Control of cell division
Cell division in eukaryotes is controlled by many proteins.
Control occurs at three main checkpoints.

6. Cancer
Cancer may result if cells do not respond to control mechanisms.
Cancer is an overgrowth of cells.
Benign – cancer does not leave its original site

7. Cancer Malignant – cancer spreads to other places in the body
Chemotherapy – use of drugs to stop cells from replicating
Your body gets rid of cancerous cells all the time but when you are diagnosed with cancer you missed one
