2 Cells
2.5.1 Outline the sages in the cell cycle, including interphase (G1, S, G2), mitosis and cytokinesis. 
Cell theory
Prokaryotic cells
The first stage of cell division is interphase which is divided into 3 phases; G1, S and G2. The cell cycle starts with G1
Eukaryotic cells
(Gap phase 1) during which the cell grows larger. This is followed by phase S (synthesis) during which the genome is

replicated. Finally, G2 (gap phase 2) is the second growth phase which separates the newly replicated genome and marks

the end of interphase. 
3 Chemical elements and water The fourth stage is mitosis which is divided into prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. During mitosis the spindle
Chemical elements & water fibers attach to the chromosomes and pull sister chromatids apart. This stage separates the two daughter genomes.
Carbohydrates, lipids & proteins Finally, cytokinesis is the last stage during which the cytoplasm divides to create two daughter cells. In animal cells the
Dna structure cell is pinched in two while plant cells form a plate between the dividing cells.
Dna replication
Transcription & translation
2.5.2 State that tumours (cancers) are the result of uncontrolled cell division and that these can

occur in any organ or tissue. 
Cell respiration
Photosynthesis
Tumors are formed when cell division goes wrong and is no longer controlled. This can happen in any organ or tissue.
4 Genetics
Chromosomes, genes, alleles & mutations
2.5.3 State that interphase is an active period in the life of a cell when many metabolic reactions

occur, including protein synthesis, DNA replication and an increase in the number of mitochondria

and/or chloroplass. 
5 Ecology and evolution Interphase is an active period in the life of a cell during which many metabolic reactions occur such as protein synthesis,
Communities & ecosystems DNA replication and an increase in the number of mitochondria and/or chloroplast.

2.5.4 Describe the events that occur in the four phases of mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase

2.5.5 Explain how mitosis produces two genetically identical nuclei. 
Enzymes
Mitosis is divided into four stages; prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. During prophase, the chromosomes

photosynthesis envelope disintegrates and the spindle microtubules grow and extend from each pole to the equator. At metaphase the
Cell respiration chromatids move to the equator. The sister chromatids are two DNA molecules formed by DNA replication and are
Photosynthesis therefore identical. These sister chromatids are then separated in anaphase as the spindle microtubules attaches to
centromere and pulls the sister chromatids to opposite poles. As the sister chromatids separate they are called

chromosomes. This means that each pole has the same chromosomes (same genetic material). Finally the microtubules
