Cell types involved in cycle — definition?
Somatic and germinal lineage cells.
Interphase phases — key events?
Growth, DNA replication, preparation for division.
Mitosis — phases?
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase.
Meiosis — purpose?
Produce haploid, genetically diverse gametes.
Cell cycle checkpoints — role?
Ensure proper division and maintain genomic stability.
Mitosis vs meiosis — difference?
One vs two divisions; identical vs diverse daughter cells.
Cytokinesis — function?
Divides cytoplasm, forms two daughter cells.
Germinal cells — location?
Gonads: ovaries and testicles.
Biological significance of mitosis?
Growth, tissue repair, cell renewal.
Biological significance of meiosis?
Genetic diversity, species continuity.
Cell cycle in somatic cells?
Includes mitosis, no meiosis.
Interphase — key feature?
Preparation for cell division.
