  • The Cell Cycle

    As in both G1 and G2, there is a Checkpoint in the middle of mitosis (Metaphase Checkpoint) that ensures the cell is ready to complete cell division.

  • Description of the cell cycle

    In interphase you perform general functions, synthesize DNA and proteins, and generally just survive and prepare for division. Within interphase, you have G1, S, and G2 phases. In G1, you have cell growth and a majority of the protein synthesis.

  • Describe cell cycle

    This phase comprises of 4 subphases known as prophase (early, middle and late), metaphase, anaphase, telephase. These 4 subphases are flanked by G2 and G1 interphases respectively.

  • Cell cycle

    The stages are G1 (initial cell growth), S (DNA replication), G2 (another growth stage before cell division) and M (cell divides). G1, S and G2 are also collectively called an interface, the longest stage of the cell cycle.

  • Discuss: Phases of the Cell Cycle

    Gap 2 (G2): During the gap between DNA synthesis and mitosis, the cell will continue to grow and produce new proteins.

  • Mitosis and Meiosis Differences

    In meiosis, two chromosome-segregation phases, meiosis I and meiosis II, follow a single round of DNA replication during the premeiotic S phase. 2. The four (4) phases of the cell cycle are: G1, S, G2, and M.

  • Mitosis & Meiosis

    At any given time, every cell in the human body would be in one of the four phases of the cell Cycle: G1, S, G2 or M. False. Non-dividing cells are in the Go phase. Mitosis and meiosis is compared. Daughter cells are examined.

  • Disjoint cycles and least common multiple

    g=g1*g2. Let o(g)=n, then g^n=(g1*g2)^n=(g1^n)*(g2^n)=e. This implies that g1^n=e and g2^n=e. So o(g1) divides n and o(g2) divides n. Thus lcm(o(g1).o(g2)) divides n=o(g).

  • Matrix derivatives
