Hey guys I was just watching a vein throb on my arm. Did you know that in that vein is blood. That blood is made from cells. A lot of cells, but it never used to be that way. When we we were being devloped inside of our moms we were and still are growing. We were growing because cells were dividing to make more and more of itself so we could have a layer of skin, and hair on our heads and so on. How do we do that? What is that called? All of those types of questions I will be answering. And I will be talking about more than just that, like interphase, cytokinesis and mitosis, the two main phases of the cell cycle, and why the result of the cell cycle is so important. The process that allows the cell to divide is called mitosis. Mitosis has four phases but sometimes five. They are...........

• prophase: when the chromosomes suddenly appear after the one cell is formed
• prometaphase (sometimes): when the cell membrane disolves and the mitubrials go to the center of the chromosome (kineticore)
• metaphase : when the chromosomes line up and wait
• anaphase: when the chromosomes are pulled apart
• telophase:the separated chromosomes arive at each end of the cell. Then a new cell membrane forms around each group going through the cycle again.

In interphase it is preparing the cell for division. Interphase is NOT a phase of mitosis. It's like when
you bake muffins you need to prepare to do it like getting out the pan, preheating the oven, etc....
Interphase is the longest part of the cell cycle. During interphase the DNA and the organelles replacate, and the cell increases in size. Also everything doubles during the process of interphase.



Cells go through two main phases. The first phase is called interphase (as explaned above)the cell grows, replicates everything inside it and produces proteins. In the second phase, known as mitosis, the cell divides in two identical daughter cells. Daughter cells are the cells produced after the orignal cell divides. It's like making a copy of a picture, you have the orignal then you make copies of it. Those copies would be consiered as the daughter cells.


The next thing to cover is the diffrence between mitosis and cytokinesis. Mitosis and cytokinesis are a part of cell division. Mitosis is when the duplicated part of the cell is separated into halves that are always identical . Cytokinesis is the process when the cytoplasm of the cell divides to form two daughter cells.




The last thing to tell you is why the result of the cell cycle is so important.At the end of the cell cycle the cell has sucessfully divided. It is important because when a cell dies we need a new cell to replace it. If we didn't have the result of it then we would run out of cells and eventually die.





I hope that this here blog helped you study for a test or helped answer your questions. Thanks for reading!!!
