Lecture 18

This document summarizes the cell cycle process in eukaryotic cells. It explains that the cell cycle consists of interphase, where DNA is replicated, and the mitotic phase where the cell divides. During interphase, cells grow and prepare for division. The mitotic phase includes prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase where the chromosomes condense and separate, and the cell divides into two daughter cells. The document also provides an overview of DNA replication and the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell division.
