CELL MECHANICS AND MOLECULAR BASIS OF CELL CYCLE

CONCEPT OUTLINE

 

Relation Between Cell Structure and Genetic Function

■ Cell coat and biochemical identity

■ Cytoskeleton for support, Motility and regulation

■ Endoplasmic reticulum and synthesis

■ Organelles in bioenergetics

■ Nucleus as information centre

■ Spindle fibres and chromosome movements

Chromosomes During Cell Division Cell Cycle Mechanics

■ Cell cycle sequence

■ Bacterial cell cycle

■ Eukaryotic cell cycle

■ Cell cycle transition

■ Cell cycle checkpoints

■ G₁/S checkpoint
