  2. Mitosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitosis

    The mitosis process in the cells of eukaryotic organisms follows a similar pattern, but with variations in three main details. "Closed" and "open" mitosis can be distinguished on the basis of nuclear envelope remaining intact or breaking down. An intermediate form with partial degradation of the nuclear envelope is called "semiopen" mitosis.

  3. Biological life cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_life_cycle

    Two opposite types of gametes (e.g., male and female) from these individuals or cells fuse to become a zygote. In the whole cycle, zygotes are the only diploid cell; mitosis occurs only in the haploid phase. The individuals or cells as a result of mitosis are haplonts, hence this life cycle is also called haplontic life cycle. Haplonts are:

  4. Neuronal cell cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuronal_cell_cycle

    After G1, the cells enter S phase during which the DNA is replicated. After S, the cell will enter G2 where the proteins required for mitosis to occur are synthesized. Unlike most cell types however, neurons are generally considered incapable of proliferating once they are differentiated, as they are in the adult nervous system. Nevertheless ...

  5. Development of the human body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_the_human_body

    The process begins with fertilization, where an egg released from the ovary of a female is penetrated by a sperm cell from a male. The resulting zygote develops through mitosis and cell differentiation, and the resulting embryo then implants in the uterus, where the embryo continues development through a fetal stage until birth.

  6. Cell division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_division

    [5] [6] After growth from the zygote to the adult, cell division by mitosis allows for continual construction and repair of the organism. [7] The human body experiences about 10 quadrillion cell divisions in a lifetime. [8] The primary concern of cell division is the maintenance of the original cell's genome.

  7. Germ cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germ_cell

    The SRY (Sex-determining Region of the Y chromosome) directs male development in mammals by inducing the somatic cells of the gonadal ridge to develop into a testis, rather than an ovary. [10] Sry is expressed in a small group of somatic cells of the gonads and influences these cells to become Sertoli cells (supporting cells in testis). Sertoli ...

  8. G0 phase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G0_phase

    Mitosis in an animal cell (phases ordered counter-clockwise), with G 0 labeled at left. Many mammal cells , such as this 9x H neuron , remain permanently or semipermanently in G 0 . The G 0 phase describes a cellular state outside of the replicative cell cycle .

  9. Gametogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gametogenesis

    Gametogenesis is a biological process by which diploid or haploid precursor cells undergo cell division and differentiation to form mature haploid gametes.Depending on the biological life cycle of the organism, gametogenesis occurs by meiotic division of diploid gametocytes into various gametes, or by mitosis.
