Introduction
 Cell cycle presence in all living organism.
 The division cycle of most cells consists of four
coordinated processes: Cell growth, DNA replication,
distribution of the duplication chromosomes to daughter
cell and cell division.
 The cell cycle is a sequence of cell growth and division.
 The time is takes to complete one cell cycle is the
generation time.
3
Phases of cell cycle
 Cell cycle is process from the end of a cell division to the
start of the next cell division.
 Eukaryotic cell cycle is divided approximately every 24
hours. The cell cycle is developed in two basic parts:-
Interphase And Mitosis.
4
Phases of Growth
 G1 - Primary growth phase
 S - Synthesis; DNA replicate
 G2 - Secondary growth phase
*collectively these 3 stages are called “Interphase”
 M - Mitosis
 C - Cytokinesis

Interphase
 Interphase is the stage between two divisions. It is the
longest phase.
 Interphase lasts for 89 hours.
 The interphase consists of three sub-stages. They are
G1- Phase, S- Phase and G2-Phase.
8
Characters of Interphase
 It is the resting phase of the cell.
 It is the longest phase.
 The phase prepare the cell for mitosis.
 No division occurs in the phase.
 The metabolic activities are high in this phase
9
G1 - Phase
 The G1-phase is the gap period between a mitotic phase
and the S-phage of the subsequent cycle.
 It is the Gap period & first growth period.
 Generally, this stage lasts for 25 to 50 % of the total
interphase.
 During this phase RNAs(mRNA , rRNA and tRNA) and
proteins are synthesized.
1. Nucleous produse rRNA.
2. mRNA and tRNA.
3. Cell growth.
10
S - Phase
 During this phase, DNA synthesis occurs. The DNA
molecule duplicates.
 This period lasts for 35 to 40% if interphase.
1. DNA replication occurs.
2. Histones are synthesized.
3. The histones cover each DNA strands.
11
G2 - Phase
 The G2-phaseis the gap period between S-phase and
mitotic phase of a cell cycle. G2 is the second growth
phase.
 The G2-phase is followed by mitotic phase.
1. Intensive cellular synthesis.
2. Mitochondria and Chloroplasts divide.
3. Energy stores increase.
12
Mitotic Phase or M-Phase
 This is the division phase. M stands for mitosis.
 This phase is the short duration.
 Of this the M-phase has a duration of 45 minutes to one
hour.
 Division of the nucleus.
 Also called Karyokinesis.
 Only occurs in eukaryotes.
 Has four stages.

StagesOfMitosis
Cytokinesis
 Cytokinesis is the process of cell division.
 Which divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into
two daughter cell.
 It occurs with two types of nuclear division called
mitosis and meiosis.
 Which occur in animal cell.

Regulation of the cell cycle of budding yeast
 The cell cycle of “Saccharomyces cerevisiae” is regulated
primarily at a point in late G1 called start.
 Passage trough start is controlled by the availability of
nutrients, matting factors and cell size.
 These yeasts divide by budding buds from just after start.

Regulation of the cell cycle of budding yeast
19
Cell Cycle Checkpoint
 Several checkpoints function to ensure that complete
genomes are transmitted to daughter cells.
 DNA damage checkpoints G1, S, and G2 lead to cell
cycle arrest in response to damaged or unreplicated
DNA.
 Another checkpoint, called the spindle assembly
checkpoint, arrests mitosis if the chromosomes are
not properly aligned on the mitotic spindle.

Conclusion
 Cell cycle present in all living organism, all cell are
reproduce by dividing in to two with each parental
cell giving rise to two daughter cell on completion of
each cycle of cell division.
