Document Summary

Cell cycle- cell reproduction cycle where the cell duplicates its contents and then divides into two new daughter cells. Cell-cycle control system- a complex network of regulatory proteins in eukaryotic cells that governs the cell cycle. The eukaryotic cell cycle is divided into four phases: s phase. Contains two main events: nuclear division or mitosis- the copies chromosomes are distributed into a pair of daughter nuclei, cytoplasmic division or cytokinesis- cell divides into two. Dna molecules are untangled and condensed into sister chromatids. Mitotic spindle assembles outside the nucleus: prometaphase. Sister chromatids are separated and moved to opposite ends of the cell. Kinetochore microtubules get shorter and the spindle poles move apart: metaphase. All sister chromatids are aligned in the centre of the cell by the kinetochore microtubules: anaphase, telophase. Cytokinesis- process that cleaves the cell into two so that each daughter cell inherits one of the two nuclei created in mitosis.
