The eukaryotic cell cycle is a complex series of phases through which somatic cells divide to create new cells. This process, essential for tissue growth and repair, involves three main stages: Interphase, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis. During Interphase, cells prepare for division: DNA and organelles replicate in G1, S, and G2 phases. Mitosis follows, where the nucleus divides into two, comprising Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase stages. Finally, Cytokinesis occurs, dividing the cytoplasm and forming two new daughter cells. Understanding this cycle is crucial, especially in contexts like cancer, where cell division becomes unregulated.

The Cell Cycle5A How eukaryotic cells divide to make new cells
In somatic (body) cells, a parent cell produces 2 daughter cells.The purpose of mitosis is for growth and repair of tissue.
Three Phases or Stages Interphase M (Mitosis) phase Cytokinesis
Interphase • DNA and organelles replicate • Cell spends most of its life in this stage
Stages of Interphase G1 (growth) S (synthesis) G2 (growth)
G1 (growth) • Aka First Gap • The cell grow larger • Makes proteins and organelles
S (synthesis) • DNA replication occurs - genetic material is duplicated so each daughter cell contains the same amount of genetic material as the parent cell • Chromosomes duplicate to form sister chromatids
G2 (growth) • Aka Second Gap • More growth & protein synthesis occurs • preparing for cell division
M phase • Aka Mitosis • Shortest of all phases • Division of the nucleus
Mitosis • Nucleus divides • Duplicated DNA is divided into two new nuclei
Stages of Mitosis Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase
Prophase • Nuclear membrane breaks down • Genetic material (chromosomes) enlarges, thickens &condenses • In the cytoplasm, Centrioles migrate to opposite ends of poles • Microtubules attach to centrioles
Metaphase • Duplicated chromosomes line up on the equator of the cell • Spindles attach to chromosomes at the centromere & pull the sister chromatids into a line in the center of the cell
Anaphase • Shortest phase • As the spindle contracts, the sister chromatids separate and are pulled to opposite sides of the cell
Telophase • New nuclear membranes form to separate the genetic material • Chromosomes shrink • Spindle breaks apart
Cytokinesis • Occurs AFTER telophase and BEFORE interphase • Cytoplasm divides • Forms 2 new cells
