Cell division in prokaryotes (binary fission) and eukaryotes (mitosis and meiosis). The thick lines are chromosomes, and the thin blue lines are fibers pulling on the chromosomes and pushing the ends of the cell apart. 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.

The fastest rate of mitosis happens in the zygote, embryo and infant stage for humans and animals because mitosis is essential for embryological development. Mitosis is also required at a higher rate to grow and repair tissue. Some examples include human lymph nodes and bone marrow.
The eukaryotic cell cycle consists of four distinct phases: G 1 phase, S phase (synthesis), G 2 phase (collectively known as interphase) and M phase (mitosis and cytokinesis). M phase is itself composed of two tightly coupled processes: mitosis, in which the cell's nucleus divides, and cytokinesis, in which the cell's cytoplasm and cell membrane divides forming two daughter cells.
Mitosis The resultant number of cells in mitosis is twice the number of original cells. ... Some animals, such as the human and northern gannet, ...
Mitosis in a neuroendocrine tumor. Mitotic indexing is the oldest method of assessing proliferation and is determined by counting the number of mitotic figures (cells undergoing mitosis) through a light microscope on H&E stained sections. It is usually expressed as the number of cells per microscopic field.
As a result, neurons are typically found outside of the cell cycle in a G0 state. It has been found that various genes that encode the G1/S transition, such as D1, Cdk4, Rb proteins, E2Fs, and CKIs, can be detected in different areas of a normal human brain (Frade and Ovejero-Benito, 2015).
In human somatic cells, the G 1 stage of the cell cycle lasts about 10 hours. [2] However, in Xenopus embryos, sea urchin embryos, and Drosophila embryos, the G 1 phase is barely existent and is defined as the gap, if one exists, between the end of mitosis and the S phase.
