Document Summary

Chapter 2: reproduction: autosomal cell are diploid (2n) and germ cells are haploid (n). The cell cycle: consists of four stages: g1, s, g2 and m. the first three are known as the interphase which is the longest part of the cell cycle. Cells that are simply living and are not preparing for division are in the g0 stage, which is an offshoot from g1. During, interphase chromosomes can"t be seen since they are in less condensed chromatin. M stage: mitosis: consists of mitosis + cytokinesis two daughter cells). Also use p53: cyclins & cyclin-dependent kinases (cdk): molecules responsible for cell cycle, cdk"s need presence of right cyclins to be activated. During cell cycle, the concentration of cyclins increases or decreases. Thus the cell cycle is not stopped to repair damaged dna: mutation accumulate and sometimes undergo rapid cell division to form tumors, metastasis is when there is a spread of cancerous cells through the bloodstream or lymphatic system.
