Cell Cycle Study Guide

Why do cells divide? How does cell division differ in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells? List and describe the three main stages of the cell cycle of a eukaryotic cell in order. List and describe the four stages of mitosis in order. Compare the process of cytokinesis in plant and animal cells. How are mitosis and cytokinesis different? How are they related to each other (how are they connected)? If a cell has four chromosome during interphase, how many chromosomes will each new cell have? What would happen if cytokinesis occurred without mitosis? How is a chromatid different from a chromosome? Be able to recognize pictures of each stage of the cell cycle. How does cytokinesis differ in plant and animal cells?
