  2. Telophase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telophase

    Telophase accounts for approximately 2% of the cell cycle's duration. Cytokinesis typically begins before late telophase [1] and, when complete, segregates the two daughter nuclei between a pair of separate daughter cells. Telophase is primarily driven by the dephosphorylation of mitotic cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) substrates. [2]

  4. Mitosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitosis

    Mitosis is preceded by the S phase of interphase (during which DNA replication occurs) and is followed by telophase and cytokinesis, which divide the cytoplasm, organelles, and cell membrane of one cell into two new cells containing roughly equal shares of these cellular components. [2]

  5. G2 phase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G2_phase

    G 2 phase, Gap 2 phase, or Growth 2 phase, is the third subphase of interphase in the cell cycle directly preceding mitosis. It follows the successful completion of S phase, during which the cell’s DNA is replicated. G 2 phase ends with the onset of prophase, the first phase of mitosis in which the cell’s chromatin condenses into chromosomes.

  6. Cell division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_division

    The cell cycle in eukaryotes: I = Interphase, M = Mitosis, G 0 = Gap 0, G 1 = Gap 1, G 2 = Gap 2, S = Synthesis, G 3 = Gap 3. Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two daughter cells. [1] Cell division usually occurs as part of a larger cell cycle in which the cell grows and replicates its chromosome(s) before dividing.

    Chk1/2 phosphorylate cdc25 which, in addition to being inhibited, is also sequestered in the cytoplasm by the 14-3-3 proteins. 14-3-3 are upregulated by p53, which, as previously mentioned, is activated by Chk1 and ATM/ATR. p53 also transactivates p21, and both p21 and the 14-3-3 in turn inhibit cyclin B-cdc2 complexes through the ...

  8. Chromosomal crossover - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosomal_crossover

    Crossing over is important for the normal segregation of chromosomes during meiosis. [2] Crossing over also accounts for genetic variation, because due to the swapping of genetic material during crossing over, the chromatids held together by the centromere are no longer identical. So, when the chromosomes go on to meiosis II and separate, some ...

  9. Centrosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrosome

    The centrosome is thought to have evolved only in the metazoan lineage of eukaryotic cells. [2] Fungi and plants lack centrosomes and therefore use other structures to organize their microtubules. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Although the centrosome has a key role in efficient mitosis in animal cells, it is not essential in certain fly and flatworm species.
