Cell Division – a review

Cell Cycle Control: What happens at each checkpoint?

M = mitosis (nuclear division)C = cytokinesis (cytoplasmic division)G = gap (cell growth)S = synthesis (DNA replicated, cell growth)

When to Divide?

Growth Inhibition

Control Problems - Cancer

Supercoiling (DNA coils forming a chromatid)

Human Chromosomes (unreplicated)

Human Chromosomes (replicated and supercoiled)

Chromosome (replicated)

Chromosome

Each DNA molecule coils to form a single chromatid. The two chromatids of a replicated chromosome are genetically identical.
