Objectives: Differentiate between prokaryote and eukaryote cell division Predict chromosome changes during cell division Compare offspring development between species Unit V : Reproduction & Development

Asexual Reproduction The production of new organisms without the fusion of nuclei. The new organisms develop from a cell or cells of a single parent and have characteristics identical to that parent.  How many cells do you produce in one day? Check out your textbook page 118

Mitotic Cell Division According to the cell theory, all cells arise from other preexisting cells. Eukaryotes: Mitosis- an orderly series of complex changes in the nucleus, normally involving an exact duplication of the complete set of chromosomes (nuclei) and the separation of these chromosomes (nuclei) into 2 identical sets of chromosomes (nuclei).

Interphase (Normal LIFE FUNCTIONS): Growth, Respiration, Nutrition, Transport, Excretion, Regulation Mitosis is a small part of a cell’s life. Skin cells, for example, reproduce 65 times a day! While a liver cell only reproduces once a year!

Cytoplasmic Division Cytokinesis – “cytoplasm splitting” Cells usually divide into two relatively equal cytoplasmic parts, each one having a nucleus and called daughter cells.

Interphase Replication (exact duplication) of each single-stranded chromosome during the non-dividing period, resulting in double-stranded chromosomes. Chromatin Nucleolus Plant Cell Animal Cell

Chromosomes Individual strands of a double-stranded chromosome are known as chromatids and are joined at the centromeres.

Prophase Disintegration (breakdown) of the nuclear membrane and nucleolus during the early stages of division. Synthesis of a spindle apparatus from centrioles (a network of fibers). Chromosomes coil & sister chromatids pair up.

Metaphase Attachment of double- stranded chromosomes to the spindle apparatus at the centromere region of the chromosome. Replication of each centromere which results in the formation of two single-stranded chromosomes.

Anaphase Migration (movement) of single-stranded chromosomes toward opposite ends of the cell. As a result, there is one complete set of chromosomes at each end of the cell.

Telophase Nuclear membrane formation around each set of chromosomes, forming two nuclei.

Comparing plant and animal cells part I Animals – centrioles aid in the formation and orientation of the spindle apparatus. Cytoplasmic division is accomplished by protein threads in the cell membrane “pinching in”, thus separating the two nuclei.

Comparing plant and animal cells part II Plants – the golgi complex secretes vesicles until a cell plate is synthesized and grows from the center outward, separating the cytoplasm.

Mitosis Self-regulated, normal mitotic cell division produces new cells used for growth and repair. However, uncontrolled, abnormal, and rapid mitotic cell division is known as cancer. These abnormally produced cells do not function properly and may cause damage or death to an organism.
