outline the mitotic cell cycle, including: • interphase (growth in G1 and G2 phases and DNA replication in S phase) • mitosis • cytokinesis

describe the semi-conservative replication of DNA during the S phase of the cell cycle, including: • the roles of DNA polymerase and DNA ligase (knowledge of other enzymes in DNA replication in cells and different types of DNA polymerase is not expected) • the differences between leading strand and lagging strand replication as a consequence of DNA polymerase adding nucleotides only in a 5’ to 3’ direction
