Mitochondrial dynamics and the cell cycle. Mitochondria can undergo profound alterations in their morphology. Fusion results in elongated, tubulated mitochondria, while fission results in mitochondria that are fragmented. Recent evidence suggests that mitochondrial morphology is coordinated with cell cycle phases with fused mitochondria occurring at the G1/S boundary and fragmented mitochondria occurring more frequently during G2/M.
