3. Cell CYCLE
.
Cell cycle is a series of
events that take place
in a cell leading to
duplication of its
DNA and division of
cytoplasm to produce
two daughter cells.
4. Phases of Cell Cycle
Cell Cycle consists of two phases:
Interphase
Mitotic phase
Interphase:
It is a period of great biochemical activity
and is divided into three phases:
G1 phase
S phase
G2 Phase
5. INTERPHASE :
G1 PHASE
Cell metabolically active and
grows continuously
S PHASE:
DNA synthesis occurs
Chromosome number is
doubled
G2 PHASE:
Energy is stored for
chromosome movement
Mitosis specific proteins are
synthesized
6. MITOTIC PHASE:
“Mitosis is a type of cell division that ensures same
number of chromosomes in daughter cells as that of
parent cells”
It consists of following phases:
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
7. PROPHASE :
• Chromatin material
condenses
• Chromosomes
becomes visible
• Nuclear envelope
disappears
• Nuclear material is
released in cytoplasm
• Nucleoli disappears
8. METAPHASE:
• The kinetochore fibers of
spindle attach to kinetochore
region of chromosomes
• Chromosomes line up at the
equator of spindle forming
equatorial plate or metaphase
plate
9. ANAPHASE :
• Critical phase of mitosis
• Kinetochore fibers contract
towards their respective
poles
• Chromatids separate and
move to opposite poles
10. TELOPHASE:
• Chromosomes decondense due
to unfolding
• Chromosomes disappears as
chromatin
• Mitotic apparatus disorganizes
• Nuclear mebrane and nucleoli
reorganizes
• Resuts in formation of two nuclei
at two poles of the cell
11. CYTOKINESIS:
“Cytokinesis is division of protoplast of cell
into two daughter cells”
Astral Microtubules send signals to equatorial
region of cell
Contractile ring is formed
Clevage furrow deepens towards center of cell
Cell is divided into two daughter cells
15. MEIOSIS
A kind of cell division in which number of
chromosomes in daughter cells is reduced to
half as compared to parent cell.
It consists of following phases:
Prophase I and II
Metaphase I and II
Anaphase I and II
Telophase I and II

27. MEIOSIS II:
Phases of meiosis II are similar to phases of
mitosis
In meiosis II two daughter cells are formed
Cytokinesis takes place and four haploid cells
with half number of chromosomes are
formed
