Cell Growth There are two reasons cells divide rather than continue to grow extra large: There are two reasons cells divide rather than continue to grow extra large: 1. The larger the cell grows, the more demands the cell places on its DNA 1. The larger the cell grows, the more demands the cell places on its DNA 2. The larger the cell, the more trouble it has moving nutrients and waste across the membrane. 2. The larger the cell, the more trouble it has moving nutrients and waste across the membrane.

As a result: Before a cell grows too large it undergoes cell division. This mean it forms two new daughter cells. Before a cell grows too large it undergoes cell division. This mean it forms two new daughter cells. First it must copy all its DNA. First it must copy all its DNA. Each daughter cell gets one complete set of genetic information. Each daughter cell gets one complete set of genetic information. The division causes the two daughter cells to have an increased surface area to volume ration, allowing an efficient exchange of nutrients and waste across the cell membrane. The division causes the two daughter cells to have an increased surface area to volume ration, allowing an efficient exchange of nutrients and waste across the cell membrane.

What would happen if the cell divided without copying its genetic information? Would each cell have a complete set of genetic instructions? No. That is why the cell must make a copy of the genetic information before dividing. Each daughter cell gets a complete copy.

Chromosomes The genetic information that each daughter cell gets is carried by chromosomes. The genetic information that each daughter cell gets is carried by chromosomes. Chromosomes are made of DNA which carries the cells coded genetic information and proteins. Chromosomes are made of DNA which carries the cells coded genetic information and proteins. Each organism has a specific number of chromosomes. Each organism has a specific number of chromosomes.

The Cell Cycle The cell cycle is a series of events that the cell goes through as they grow and divide. The cell cycle is a series of events that the cell goes through as they grow and divide. During the cycle, a cell grows, prepares for division and divides to form two daughter cells. During the cycle, a cell grows, prepares for division and divides to form two daughter cells. Each daughter cell then begins the cycle again. Each daughter cell then begins the cycle again.

The cell cycle consists of four phases. 1. M Phase 2. G1 Phase 3. S Phase 4. G2 Phase

1. M Phase: known as mitosis. 1. M Phase: known as mitosis. What happens: division of the nucleus and cytokinesis What happens: division of the nucleus and cytokinesis Four stages of mitosis are: Four stages of mitosis are: 1. Prophase 1. Prophase 2. Anaphase 2. Anaphase 3. Metaphase 3. Metaphase 4. Telophase 4. Telophase

2. G1 Phase: 2. G1 Phase: “Gap1” : cell does most of its growing. “Gap1” : cell does most of its growing. Cell increases in size Cell increases in size Makes proteins and new organelles.
