Cell Biology | Cell Cycle: Interphase & Mitosis


Summary

This video provides an in-depth look into the cell cycle, emphasizing the importance of cell replication and growth control. It covers the phases involved in cell replication, from interphase with G1 and DNA replication to G2 phase preparing for division. Additionally, it explains mitosis stages like prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, illustrating chromosome movement and division. The video also touches upon cell cycle regulation, checkpoints, and how aging affects cell division, offering a comprehensive overview of cellular processes.


Introduction to Cell Cycle

Introduction to the cell cycle, including the importance of replicating cells and controlling cell growth. Overview of the phases and steps involved in replicating a cell.

Structure of a Cell

Explanation of the components of a eukaryotic cell, including the cell membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm.

Cell Cycle Phases - Interphase

Detailed explanation of the interphase stage in the cell cycle, focusing on the G1 phase and DNA replication.

Cell Cycle Phases - Interphase Continued

Continuation of the discussion on interphase, emphasizing the synthesis phase (S phase) and the replication of DNA.

Cell Cycle Phases - G2 Phase

Explanation of the G2 phase in the cell cycle, highlighting the preparation for cell division and growth.

Mitosis - Prophase

Description of the prophase stage in mitosis, including condensation of chromatin into chromosomes and breakdown of the nuclear envelope.

Mitosis - Metaphase

Explanation of the metaphase stage in mitosis, where chromosomes align at the metaphase plate and microtubules connect to kinetochores.

Mitosis - Anaphase

Discussion of the anaphase stage in mitosis, focusing on chromosome separation and movement towards opposite poles of the cell.

Mitosis - Telophase and Cytokinesis

Overview of telophase in mitosis, including the formation of cleavage furrow and cytokinesis to create two daughter cells.

Cell Cycle Regulation

Explanation of cell cycle regulation, checkpoints, and the impact of aging on cell division.
