The+Cell+Cycle

The __//**cell cycle**//__ is the life cycle of cell. A __//**cell cycle**//__ starts when a new cell is formed, it ends when the cell eventually splits into two differnet cells. Each type of cell goes through a different type of __**cell cycle**__. A prokaryotic cell's cell cycle is very basic, it uses **//__binary fission__//** inorder to make more cells. An eukariotic **//__cell's cell__//** cycle makes new cells by **//__mitosis__//** and **//__cytokinesis__//**. The different amount of **//__chromosome__//**s in something determines what kind of oranism it is. They are in pairs, and what makes them in pairs are **//__homologous-chromosomes__//**, which are very similar to just regular **//__chromosomes__//**.

**__GLOSSARY __**

**Cell Cycle: ** The life cycle of a cell. **Chromosome: ** The DNA of a cell organized into structures. **Binary Fission: ** Splitting into two parts. **Homologous: **Pairs made up of similar chromosomes. **Chromatids: **The two copies of duplicated chromosomes. **Centromere: ** Chromatids held together at a region. **Mitosis: ** The complicated process of chromosome separation. **Cytokenisis: **<span style="font-family: 'Arial Rounded MT Bold','sans-serif'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;"> Once mitosis is completed the cytoplasm splits in two.
