What to Focus On

  • Cell theory explains the origin of cells from pre-existing cells.
  • The cell cycle is the interval between two successive cell divisions.
  • The cell cycle has two main phases: interphase and M-phase.
  • Interphase is active, not resting.
  • G1 is the longest growth phase.
  • S phase is the only stage where DNA replication occurs.
  • Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells.
  • It is equational division because chromosome number remains the same.
  • Mitosis occurs in somatic cells.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Interphase is a resting phase where the cell is inactive.

DNA replicates in G1 phase because the cell grows the most there.

When DNA replicates, chromosome number also doubles.
