Welcome to Biological Science Advanced Studies. This site is designed for biology students of A-level, AS and A2, covering the related topics in Biology and Human Biology.
Eukaryotic cells contain multiple chromosomes within a membrane-bound nucleus, rather than a single circular chromosome within the cytoplasm. During cell division, eukaryotic chromosomes follow a very prescribed series of events,
almost like a choreographed dance, as they replicate and move from one parent cell into two daughter cells. Many eukaryotic cells do not continuously divide. Instead many eukaryotic cell types mature, or differentiate, and perform specific functions in an organism. The eukaryotic cell cycle consists of two basic stages: interphase and mitosis. Cells spend the majority of their time in interphase, which consists of three stages called Gap 1 (G1), Synthesis (or S), and Gap 2 (G2).
