Document Summary

Essential mechanism by which all living things reproduce and pass on genetic information to next generation of cells. Ensures that dna in each chromosome is faithfully replicated to produce 2 copies (somatic cells: i. e. need to replicate the dna perfectly. Replicated chromosomes must be accurately distributed (segregated) to 2 genetically identical daughter cells: after dna replication, the dna must be segregated perfectly (1/2 to each daughter cell) Coordination of growth (increase in cell mass) with division: i. e. make sure the cell is big enough to be divided into two. When observing cell going through the cell cycle, you can"t see much except for during the mitosis phase (m) I. e. we cannot see a cell going through g1/s/g2. Our cells spend the most time in interphase. Duration of this phase depends on the type of cell: e. g. skin cells divide a lot short interphase; liver cells divide very little long interphase.
