Document Summary

Cell life cycle is a series of changes the cell experiences from the time it is formed until it divides. Interphase: cell grows, cell carriers on metabolic processes, longer phase of the cell cycle, cell division, cell replicates itself, function is to produce more cells for growth and repair processes. Genetic material is duplicated and readies a cell for division into two cells. Dna uncoils into two nucleotide chains, and each side serves as a template. Nucleotides are complementary: adenine (a) always bonds with thymine (t, guanine (g) always bonds with cytosine (c) For example, tactgc bonds with new nucleotides in the order atgacg. Mitosis- division of the nucleus: results in the formation of two daughter nuclei. Cytokinesis- division of the cytoplasm: begins when mitosis is near completion, results in the formation of two daughter cells. Prophase: first part of cell division, chromatin coils into chromosomes. Chromosomes are held together by a centromere.
