Document Summary

In eukaryotes, most dividing cells go through a cycle that consists of four phases. After chromosomes are copied during s phase, they are moved to the middle of the cell during m phase (mitosis). One chromosome copy is distributed to each of the two daughter cells. Mitosis and cytokinesis produce two cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. Progression through the cell cycle is carefully controlled. In multicellular organisms, uncontrolled cell division may lead to cancer. Different types of cancer result from different types of defects in control over the cell cycle. Cells arise through the division of preexisting cells. Both forms of cell division are usually accompanied by cytokinesis, in which the cytoplasm of the cell divides into two distinct daughter cells. Meiosis leads to the production of gametes (eggs and sperm) Daughter cells have half the amount of genetic material as the parent cell.
