Talk:Interphase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Currently the page lists nerve cells as cells which enter interphase for extended periods of time:
Some cells, such as nerve cells, can stay in interphase for decades.
Are nerve cells really in interphase here or are they in G0? I would think that, metabolically speaking, nerve cells are in G0. Cells in interphase grow and get ready to divide.
once again why isn't this part of cell cycle...there are so many articles about the cell cycle why can't we just put them into one? Nominaladversary 01:56, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wrong phase?
'In prophase the two chromatids are still connected by something called the centromere. The sister chromosomes contract tightly. Meanwhile, the nucleolus and the nuclear envelope break down and disappear, since their components have been sufficiently altered. Outside the nucleus are two centrosomes which sprout microtubules by polymerizing free-floating proteins.'
this bit says that the nucleus breaks down in prophase. Correct me if im wrong but i thought this happened in telephase.
[edit] interphase
there should be a better discription of g1 and s and g2
g1-when the major growth occures and metobolic activity
s- synthesiswhen chromosomes are duplicated DNA stnthesis occures
g2 mitochandira and oother oganelles and manufactured getting ready to begin mitosis
