Step 2: DNA to mRNA (RNA polymerase moves from one nucleotide to another along length of the template strand. At each site, complementary RNA nucleotides for hydrogen bonds with the DNA nucleotides of the template stand. RNA polymerase strings the arriving nucleotides together into a strand of mRNA).

Figure 3-24 Stages of a Cell’s Life Cycle: Interphase INTERPHASE Most cells spend only a small part of their time actively engaged in cell division. Somatic cells spend the majority of their functional lives in a state known as interphase. During interphase, a cell perfoms all its normal functions and, if necessary, prepares for cell division. When the activities of G1 have been completed, the cell enters the S phase. Over the next 68 hours, the cell duplicates its chromosomes. S This involves DNA replication and the synthesis of histones and other proteins in the nucleus. G1 A cell that is ready to divide first enters the G1 phase. In this phase, the cell makes enough mitochondria, cytoskeletal elements, endoplasmic reticula, ribosomes, Golgi membranes, and cytosol for two functional cells. Centriole replication begins in G1 and commonly continues G1 until G2. In cells Normal dividing at top cell functions speed, G1 may last plus cell growth, just 812 hours. duplication of Such cells pour organelles, all their energy protein synthesis into mitosis, and all other activities cease. If G1 lasts for days, weeks, or months, preparation for mitosis occurs as the cells perform their normal functions. G0 6 to Once DNA replication has ended, there is a brief (25-hour) G2 phase devoted to last-minute protein synthesis and to the completion of centriole replication. S DNA replication, synthesis of histones G2 G2 Protein synthesis THE CELL CYCLE Centrioles in centrosome MITOSIS Nucleus G0 An interphase cell in the G0 phase is not preparing for division, but is performing all of the other functions appropriate for that particular cell type. Some mature cells, such as skeletal muscle cells and most neurons, remain in G0 indefinitely and never divide. In contrast, stem cells, which divide repeatedly with very brief interphase periods, never enter G0. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. MITOSIS AND CYTOKINESIS Interphase During interphase, the DNA strands are loosely coiled and chromosomes cannot be seen.
