Document Summary

Dna in each portion of the cell cycle: Key idea: cells do not move through the stages of the cell cycle on their own. Transition from one stage to the next is controlled by proteins in the cytoplasm. When none of these proteins are present, the cell will stay in g1. Note: as a general rule, the cell moves past g1 into the next stage of the cell cycle only if division is the eventual goal. Growth and division require a lot of resources and will not be entered unnecessarily. At g1/s checkpoint, the cell can (1) proceed to s-phase, (2) pause and withdraw to g0 temporarily, or (3) withdraw permanently and terminally differentiate. Terminal differentiation = stays in g0 forever and will not go through any more rounds of replication. If the gap phases were eliminated from the cell cycle, smaller daughter cells would result after cell division.
