Cell Cycle, Mitosis, Stem Cells & Cancer

Front

Cell Cycle

Back

Series of events in a cell leading to its division and duplication for the purpose of GROWTH & REPAIR.

Front

Mitosis

Back

Division of the nucleus resulting in two identical daughter cells.

PMAT

Front

Stem Cells

Back

Undifferentiated cells with the potential to develop into different cell types.

Front

Differentiation

Back

Process by which a cell becomes specialized for a specific function.

Front

Cancer

Back

Uncontrolled cell division leading to tumors and potential spread to other body parts.

Front

G1 Phase

Back

Part of interphase including cell growth

Front

S Phase

Back

DNA replication occurs.

Front

G2 Phase

Back

Further cell growth and preparation for mitosis.

Front

M Phase

Back

Mitosis and cytokinesis occur.

Front

Interphase

Back

Longest phase of the cell cycle. The cell prepares for division, including G1, S, and G2 phases.
