Document Summary
The phases of the cell cycle and what is happening in each phase. Interphase (about 90% of the cell cycle) can be divided into subphases: S phase ( synthesis ): the cell grows during all three phases, but chromosomes are duplicated only during the s phase. The phases of mitosis and what is happening in each. Metaphase-chromosomes are pushed to midline of cell by spindles. Spindles begin to shorten and pull chromosomes apart. Two sister chromatids are now two separate chromosomes. Telophase-chromosomes are pulled to opposite ends of cell. The mechanism of chromosomal separation (molecular roles of the kinetochore) Some spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of chromosomes and begin to move the chromosomes, sister chromatids separate and move along the kinetochore microtubules toward opposite ends of the cell. How cell cycle control and cancer are related. Cancer cells do not respond normally to the body"s control mechanisms.
