Resource summary
IB SL Biology: Cell Division
Interphase
G1
Period of growth
DNA transcription
Protein synthesis
S phase
All DNA in nucleus is replicated
G2
Cell prepares for division
Longest phase of cell cycle
Increase in mitochondria/chloroplasts
Mitosis
Occurs after interphase
Tissue repair, growth, embryonic dev. and asexual reproduction
Early prophase
Chromosomes become observable due to supercoiling
Spindle microtubules are growing
Late prophase
Each chromosome = two chromatids
Chromatids held together by centromere
Genetically identical - formed by DNA replication
Spindle microtubules extend from poles to equator
Metaphase
Nuclear membrane has broken down
Chromosomes have migrated to equator
Spindle microtubules from both poles attach to each centromere
Anaphase
Centromeres divided; chromatids have become chromosomes
Early telophase
Chromosomes have reached poles
Nuclear membranes begin to form
Spindle microtubules break down
Late telophase
Chromosomes uncoil, no longer indiv. visible
Cell divides :CYTOKINESIS - two cells with genetically identical nuclei
Tumours
The result of uncontrolled cell division; can occur in any organ or tissue
