Cell Division and Cell Cycle
Cell Division and Cell Cycle: Overview
This topic covers concepts such as Phases of Cell Cycle, Interphase, G1 Phase, S Phase, G2 Phase, M Phase, G0 Phase, Cell Division, Cell Cycle, and Amitosis.
Important Questions on Cell Division and Cell Cycle

A bacterial culture was started with an inoculum of cells. What will be the number of cells at the end of cycles of division, assuming that every progeny cell undergoes division in each cycle?

Amitosis is shown by bacteria.



Assertion (A) : Chromosomes are inactive and not transcribed to messenger RNA in phase of apparent division
Reason (R): Cells remains metabolically active but no longer divide in quiescent stage

Duplication of can occur at which phase?

At what phase of cell cycle the grown up cell divides? (Mitotic / Interphase)

If a cell has twice as much DNA as in a normal functional cell, it means that the cell:

It is said that the one cycle of cell division in human cells (eukaryotic cells) takes 24 hours. Which phase of the cycle, do you think occupies the maximum part of the cell cycle, whether it is M phase or interphase?
