Chapter 10 Cell Cycle And Cell Division
CELL CYCLE The sequence of events by which a cell duplicates its genome, synthesizes the other constituents of the cell and eventually divides into two daughter cells is termed cell cycle. PHASES OF A CELL CYCLE There are two basic phases of a cell cycle: 1. Interphase: divided into G1 phase, S phase and G2 phase 2. M Phase: divided into Prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase
Nuclear division is then followed by the cytoplasmic division and is called cytokinesis. Mitosis is the equational division in which the chromosome number of the parent is conserved in the daughter cell. MEIOSIS Meiosis occurs in the diploid cells, which are destined to form gametes. It is called reduction division since it reduces the chromosome number by half while making the gametes. It is divided into two phases: meiosis 1 and meiosis 2. It the first meiotic division, the homologous chromosomes pair and form bivalents, and undergo crossing over. Meiosis 1 has a long prophase, which is further divided into five phases: leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene and diakinesis. Meiosis 2 is similar to mitosis. At the end of meiosis, four haploid cells are formed.
