How do cells know when to divide
Cell division
synthesis - DNA replication
G2 - cell grows more
G1 - cell grows
Mitosis
metaphase
anaphase
prophase
telophase
Processes of cell division
meiosis is cell division that is used in prokaryotes
mitosis is cell division in eukaryotes
replication of DNA happens in synthesis phase
Apoptosis (programmed cell death)
DNA mutations
substitution
silent
nonsense
missense
deletion
insertion
mutations
tumor suppressor genes - when mutated they prveent tumors from staying small
DNA repair gene - when mutated the gene will not fix damaged DNA
proto-onocogenes mutate into oncogenes getting rid of brake for cell division.
