Chapter 2: Cell Division
2
...

It consists of three main phases: Interphase, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis
...
2 Interphase
Interphase is the phase where a cell spends most of its life
...

2
...

The stages of mitosis are Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase (PMAT)
...
4 Cytokinesis
Cytokinesis is the division of the cell's cytoplasm and other organelles
...

2
...

It helps replace damaged or old cells with new ones to maintain the organism's health and
development
...
6 Meiosis
Meiosis is a special type of cell division that occurs in the formation of gametes (sperm and
egg cells)
...

2
...

It allows for the shuffling of genetic material and the creation of unique combinations of
genes
...
8 Mitosis vs
...

Mitosis is for growth and repair, while meiosis is for the production of gametes
...

2
...

Cancer results from mutations that disrupt the normal cell cycle regulation
...
10 Control of the Cell Cycle
The cell cycle is regulated by checkpoints that ensure proper DNA replication and cell
division
...

2
...

Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of two gametes, resulting in genetically diverse
offspring
