Document Summary

G1 phase - rna and protein synthesis, no dna synthesis. S phase - dna synthesis doubles the amount of dna in the cell. M phase - mitosis and cytokinesis yield two daughter cells. Mitosis - the division of the nucleus. Cytokinesis - proper division of the cytoplasm. Division of genetic material must be equal. Division of cytoplasm need not be equal. Ploidy = how many copies of chromosomes. Haploid = 1n (one copy of each chromosome) Diploid = 2n (two copy of each chromosome) An effective cell cycle control system should have the following: A timer that turns on each event at a specific time, thus providing a fixed amount of time for the completion of each event. A mechanism for initiating events in the correct order; entry into mitosis, for example, must always come after dna replication. A mechanism to ensure that each event is triggered only once per cycle.
