LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:

01 describe the phases of the cell cycle,

02 explain the importance of cell cycle, and
03 create a diagram of the phases of the cell cycle
Omnis cellula e cellula.
Every cell from a cell.
CELL
CYCLE
CYCLE
- a series of events or operations that
recur regularly and usually lead back to
the starting point.

CELL CYCLE
- series of events that a cell must go
through as it grows and divides.
 THE CELL CYCLE Cell
Grows
 Ordered series of events involving cell growth Cell grows
and cell division that produces two new some more and
daughter cells. prepares for
mitosis
 Cell’s Tasks:
Synthesis
 Grow of
 Copy its genetic material DNA

 physically split into 2 daughter cells

 THE CELL CYCLE
The chromosome of a cell change their form as
they undergo cell transitions from one stage to
another in a typical cell cycle.
Two Major Stages:
1. INTERPHASE

 The cell grows and makes a

copy of its DNA.

1. M PHASE

 Mitotic Phase
 The cell separates its DNA into 2
sets and divides its cytoplasm,
forming 2 new cells.

The first major phase of the cell cycle is
INTERPHASE
______________________

What are the three sub-stages? 1. G1 PHASE

2. S PHASE
3. G2 PHASE
 M PHASE (MITOTIC)

a multistep process during which the

duplicated chromosomes are:
1.aligned
2.separated
3.move into 2 new identical daughter cells.
 M PHASE (MITOTIC)
KARYOKINESIS
also called as Nuclear Division or Mitosis
The nuclear DNA of the cell condenses into
visible chromosomes and is pulled apart by
the specialized structure.

CYTOKINESIS
the cytoplasm of the cell is split into two,
making two new cells.
Begins just as mitosis is ending with a little
overlap.

cycle?
G0 PHASE
 The G0 phase is a form of the

resting state, or QUIESCENCE,

in which cells reside until they
receive appropriate signals - for
example, from growth factors -
stimulating them to re-enter and
progress through the cell cycle.
