  2. Telophase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telophase

    Telophase accounts for approximately 2% of the cell cycle's duration. Cytokinesis typically begins before late telophase [1] and, when complete, segregates the two daughter nuclei between a pair of separate daughter cells. Telophase is primarily driven by the dephosphorylation of mitotic cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) substrates. [2]

  3. Cell cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_cycle

    The eukaryotic cell cycle consists of four distinct phases: G 1 phase, S phase (synthesis), G 2 phase (collectively known as interphase) and M phase (mitosis and cytokinesis). M phase is itself composed of two tightly coupled processes: mitosis, in which the cell's nucleus divides, and cytokinesis, in which the cell's cytoplasm and cell membrane divides forming two daughter cells.

  4. Cytokinesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytokinesis

    Animal cell telophase and cytokinesis. Animal cell cytokinesis begins shortly after the onset of sister chromatid separation in the anaphase of mitosis. The process can be divided to the following distinct steps: anaphase spindle reorganization, division plane specification, actin-myosin ring assembly and contraction, and abscission. [5]

  5. Cell division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_division

    The cell cycle in eukaryotes: I = Interphase, M = Mitosis, G 0 = Gap 0, G 1 = Gap 1, G 2 = Gap 2, S = Synthesis, G 3 = Gap 3. Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two daughter cells. [1] Cell division usually occurs as part of a larger cell cycle in which the cell grows and replicates its chromosome(s) before dividing.

  6. Mitosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitosis

    Mitosis is preceded by the S phase of interphase (during which DNA replication occurs) and is followed by telophase and cytokinesis, which divide the cytoplasm, organelles, and cell membrane of one cell into two new cells containing roughly equal shares of these cellular components. [2]

  7. Cell cycle checkpoint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_cycle_checkpoint

    In eukaryotes, the cell cycle consists of four main stages: G 1, during which a cell is metabolically active and continuously grows; S phase, during which DNA replication takes place; G 2, during which cell growth continues and the cell synthesizes various proteins in preparation for division; and the M phase, during which the duplicated ...

  8. Actomyosin ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actomyosin_ring

    In molecular biology, an actomyosin ring or contractile ring, is a prominent structure during cytokinesis. [1] It forms perpendicular to the axis of the spindle apparatus [ 2 ] towards the end of telophase , in which sister chromatids are identically separated at the opposite sides of the spindle forming nuclei (Figure 1).

  9. Cleavage furrow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleavage_furrow

    Mitosis includes four phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Prophase is the initial phase when spindle fibers appear that function to move the chromosomes toward opposite poles. This spindle apparatus consists of microtubules, microfilaments and a complex network of various proteins.
