Exploring Cellular Reproduction
9th Grade•50 minutes
Learning Objective
I can describe the stages of cellular reproduction.
Key Concepts
The cell cycle includes interphase, where the cell grows, and mitosis, where active cell division occurs.
During the G1 phase, the cell produces extra organelles and proteins, while in the S phase, DNA replication takes place.
Cells that do not divide enter the G0 phase, while cells preparing for mitosis enter the G2 phase to make structures like microtubules.
