Cell Division: Stages of the Cell Cycle

Eukaryotic cells with division capability follow a cell cycle
DNA replication takes place during the interphase
Mitosis is the cell cycle part where a eukaryotic cell divides into two daughter cells with identical DNA copies
Chromosome behaviour varies during interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase
Spindle fibres attached to centromeres play role in chromatid separation
Division of cytoplasm (cytokinesis) typically results in two new cells
Stage of cell cycle can be determined from information, understanding the events at each stage is crucial
Stages of the cell not in mitosis is known as interphase (G1, S, G2).
