Question

 What are the major stages of the cell cycle?

Answer 1

The cell cycle consists of three main stages: interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis. During interphase, the cell grows and replicates its DNA. In mitosis, the replicated chromosomes separate into two identical sets and are equally distributed between two new cells during cytokinesis.

Answer 2

THE CELL CYCLE IS THE SERIES OF EVENTS THAT TAKE PLACE IN A CELL LEADING TO ITS DIVISION AND THE PRODUCTION OF TWO DAUGHTER CELLS. THE MAJOR STAGES ARE: INTERPHASE, MITOSIS, GO PHASE.

Answer 3

The growth, replication, and division of a cell are all part of the tightly controlled cell cycle. There are various unique levels to it. Interphase, the  initial step, maybe further broken down into G1 (Gap 1) stages. The cell develops copies of DNA, and gets ready to divide during interphase.  The mitotic phase consists of mitosis and cytokinesis, comes  after intervals. Prophase, metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase are the four phases of mitosis. The duplicated chromosomes line up, split, and create two identical nuclei during mitosis. The cell then splits into two daughter cells, each of which has a whole set of genetic material. The process is known as cytokinesis. 

Answer 4

The cell cycle is the series of events that takes place in a cell leading to its division and the production of two daughter cells. It consists of several distinct stages, including:-

Interphase:- This is the longest phase of the cell cycle and can be further divided into three sub phase:

a. G1 Phase: The cell grows and carries out its normal functions.

b. S Phase: DNA replication occurs, resulting in the duplication of the cell's genetic material.

c. G2 Phase: The cell continues to grow and prepare for cell division.

Mitosis:- Mitosis is the process of nuclear division, during which the duplicated chromosomes are divided equally into two daughter nuclei. Mitosis can be further divided into several stages:

a. Prophase: Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, the nuclear envelop breaks down, and the mitotic spindle forms.

b. Metaphase: Chromosomes line up at the center of the cell along the metaphase plate.

c. Anaphase: Sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite poles of the cell.

d. Telophase: Chromosomes arrive at the poles, the nuclear envelope reforms, and the chromosomes decondense.

GO Phase:- Some cells exit the cell cycle and enter a non-dividing state called GO. Cells in GO are in a resting phase and do  not actively divide but can reenter the cell cycle under certain conditions.

Answer 5

The major stages of the cell cycle are:

• Interphase - the period of growth and DNA replication before cell division.
• Mitosis - the division of the cell nucleus, consisting of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
• Cytokinesis - the division of the cytoplasm and organelles, resulting in the formation of two daughter cells.
