The end result of eukaryotic cell cycle is based on the eukaryotic cell, in somatic cell two daughter cells are formed and in germ cell four daughter cells are formed.
Further Explanation:
The cell cycle refers to an ordered flow of events which includes cell growth as well as cellular division. This cycle produces 2 new daughter cells. The cycle starts with interphase; during which, the cell grows and replicates its own DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid. The interphase begins with:
1. G1 phase: During this stage, the cell is active at the biochemical level and accumulates the structure of the DNA along with the associated proteins. It also accumulates required energy reserves in order to finish the task of replicating each chromosome within the nucleus.
2. S phase or synthesis of DNA: During this phase, the replication of DNA takes place. The centrosome is duplicated and gives rise to the mitotic spindle during the mitosis phase.
3. G2 or second gap: during this phase, the cell mainly replenishes its energy stores as well as synthesizes the proteins which are required for the chromosome manipulation. Some organelles are copied and the cytoskeleton is dismantled in order to supply resources for the mitotic stage.
The second phase of the cell cycle is the M phase. The eukaryotic cell can be dividing through mitosis and meiosis.
Meiosis mostly occurs in the gamete cells. In this division, parent cells segregate into four daughter cells. The numbers of chromosomes in new cells are different from parental cells. Daughter cells consist of half of the number of chromosomes as the parent cells, therefore, this division known as reductional division. Mitotic phase refers to a multiphase reaction during which the chromosomes are aligned, segregated, and moved into the 2 new daughter cells which are identical to each other.
