Document Summary
Essential mechanism by which all living things reproduce and pass on genetic information to next generation of cells: replenishing cells. Ensures that dna in each chromosome is faithfully replicated to produce 2 copies: to be a properly copy, have to be true to the original. Coordination of growth (increase in cell mass) with division. Mitosis is the most dramatic of the cell cycle. Cell cycle is the ordered sequence of events in which a cell duplicates its chromosomes and divides into two genetically identical. G1-s-g2 = interphase, the cel increases in size. Most dramatic observed microscopally occur during the m-phase. G1 (gap1) phase: this is where most cells will be, generalized growth and metabolism of the cell, where most cells arrest when not dividing (g0)
