Cell+Cycle

This section is about the life cycle of a cell (cell cycle). There are three stages a eukaryotic cell goes through. The first stage the cell goes through is it grows and copies its organelles and chromosomes. The chromosomes are lined up in pairs of similar chromosomes. These are called homologous chromosomes. During the second stage, the chromatids separate. The chromotids are held together at a region called the centromere. This process is the complicated process of chromosome mitosis. Mitosis is also divided into four phases. In the last stage of the cell cycle, the cell divides and produces two cells that are identical to each other. However, a prokaryotic cell only goes through one phase. The cell splits into two parts. This process is called binary fission.
