What to Focus On

  • Cell cycle has two main phases: interphase and M phase.
  • Interphase lasts more than 95% of the cell cycle.
  • G1: growth and normal metabolism, no DNA replication.

  • M phase includes karyokinesis and usually cytokinesis.
  • Mitosis is equational division.
  • Prophase: chromosome condensation and disappearance of nuclear structures.

  • Mitosis maintains chromosome number.
  • It supports growth, repair, and replacement of cells.
  • It restores the nucleo-cytoplasmic ratio.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Interphase is a resting stage where the cell is inactive and does nothing important.

DNA replication increases the number of chromosomes.

Mitosis and meiosis are just two names for the same type of division.
