The Cell Cycle: Division and Growth by https://padlet.com/craftyweaknessliteracy/6vnsdis9sxrdlc39 A comprehensive guide to understanding how cells divide and grow en-us 2025-02-04 11:24:33 UTC 2025-02-04 14:53:13 UTC hello@padlet.com What is the Cell Cycle? schwyhartshelby https://padlet.com/craftyweaknessliteracy/6vnsdis9sxrdlc39/wish/3315122296 The cell cycle is a pattern of growth, DNA replication, and cell division that occurs in a eukaryotic cell.


Simply put it's a process that cells go through to divide and make new cells.

1. Growth - to help you get bigger
2. Repair - to fix damaged tissues
3. Replacement - to replace old, worn-out cells

- Grows bigger
- Makes a copy of its DNA
- Produces more organelles
This is the longest phase of the cell cycle.

M - Metaphase (DNA lines up)
A - Anaphase (DNA separates)
T - Telophase (Two new nuclei form)]]> 2025-02-04 11:24:36 UTC https://padlet.com/craftyweaknessliteracy/6vnsdis9sxrdlc39/wish/3315122326 Cytokinesis: The Final Split schwyhartshelby https://padlet.com/craftyweaknessliteracy/6vnsdis9sxrdlc39/wish/3315122327 The grand finale! After mitosis, the cell's cytoplasm splits in two during cytokinesis. Each new cell is identical and has everything it needs to survive!

1. The cell cycle helps cells divide and make copies
2. Interphase is the longest phase
3. PMAT helps us remember the stages of mitosis
4. Cytokinesis splits the cell in two
