Cell Cycle Overview

The cell cycle consists of distinct phases regulated by crucial checkpoints. During interphase, cells grow and prepare for division through G1, S, and G2 phases, followed by mitosis (M phase).

Definition: The cell cycle is the sequence of growth and division that cells go through to produce new daughter cells.

Highlight: Cells can temporarily or permanently exit the cycle into G0 phase to become specialized.

Example: During G1, cells increase in size and produce RNA and proteins before DNA replication in S phase.

Vocabulary: Checkpoints are regulatory mechanisms ensuring proper cell cycle progression at G1, G2, and M phases.

Mitosis Stages

Mitosis produces two genetically identical daughter cells through a series of carefully orchestrated stages. The process is essential for growth and repair of damaged tissues.

Definition: Mitosis is the process of nuclear division resulting in two genetically identical nuclei.

Highlight: Key stages include prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis.

Example: During prophase, chromosomes condense and become visible as the nuclear envelope breaks down.

Vocabulary: Sister chromatids are identical copies of DNA joined at the centromere.

Late Mitotic Events

The final stages of mitosis involve precise chromosome separation and cytoplasmic division.

Definition: Cytokinesis is the division of cytoplasm following nuclear division.

Highlight: Plant cells undergo cytokinesis differently, forming a cell plate rather than pinching in.

Example: During anaphase, spindle fibers pull sister chromatids to opposite poles using energy from mitochondria.

Cell Cycle Errors and Cancer

Disruptions in normal cell cycle regulation can lead to serious consequences, particularly cancer development.

Definition: Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell division.

Highlight: Tumor suppressor genes play a crucial role in preventing uncontrolled cell growth.

Example: UV light exposure can affect mitosis rates and potentially lead to cancer development.

I love this app so much, I also use it daily. I recommend Knowunity to everyone!!! I went from a D to an A with it :D

Philip, iOS User

The app is very simple and well designed. So far I have always found everything I was looking for :D

Lena, iOS user

I love this app ❤️ I actually use it every time I study.

Cancer Treatment Approaches

Cancer treatments often target specific stages of the cell cycle to prevent tumor growth.

Definition: Chemotherapy drugs work by disrupting various stages of the cell cycle.

Highlight: Treatments can target DNA replication or spindle formation during mitosis.

Example: Hair loss during chemotherapy occurs because rapidly dividing hair follicle cells are also affected by treatment.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Samantha Klich

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
