Replace dead cells (50 million Replace dead cells (50 million
cells die per second)cells die per second) Repair damaged tissuesRepair damaged tissues GrowthGrowth Maintain the bodyMaintain the body
After a mitotic cell division, information After a mitotic cell division, information about the cell is equally distributed to about the cell is equally distributed to daughter cells.daughter cells.

8.2 THE CELL CYCLE8.2 THE CELL CYCLE All cells go through almost the same All cells go through almost the same
cell cycle. cell cycle. Even though we divide cell division Even though we divide cell division
into into 5 stages, once cell division starts it is 5 stages, once cell division starts it is a continuous process.a continuous process.
The five stages in cell division are:The five stages in cell division are:1.1. GG11——gap (growth) phase onegap (growth) phase one
2.2. SS——synthesissynthesis
3.3. GG22——gap (growth) phase twogap (growth) phase two
4.4. Cell division (mitosis and cytokinesis) Cell division (mitosis and cytokinesis)
5.5. GG00——gap (growth) mitotic dormancygap (growth) mitotic dormancy

THE CELL CYCLETHE CELL CYCLE
During the GDuring the G00 phase, cells are not in the phase, cells are not in the cell division cycle, they are cell division cycle, they are differentiated or specialized in their differentiated or specialized in their function.function.
Some cells remain in the GSome cells remain in the G00 phase (e.g., phase (e.g., nerve cells) and others get back to the nerve cells) and others get back to the cell cycle (Gcell cycle (G1 1 , S, and G, S, and G2 2 , e.g., bone , e.g., bone cells).cells).
The three phases GThe three phases G1 1 , S, and G, S, and G2 2 , occur , occur during the stage called interphase.during the stage called interphase.

For the most part, animal and plant cells For the most part, animal and plant cells have very similar cell division cycles.have very similar cell division cycles.
Among the differences are:Among the differences are: Plant cells do not have centrioles, but Plant cells do not have centrioles, but
somehow are able to produce a somehow are able to produce a spindle.spindle.
There is a difference in the process of There is a difference in the process of cytokinesis, in animal cells form a cytokinesis, in animal cells form a cleavage furrow and in plants a cell cleavage furrow and in plants a cell plate is formed.plate is formed.
