Cell Cycle Notes
4 Reasons why cells divide Efficiency DNA Overload Growth Replace Cells http://www.animationlibrary.com
Cell Division in Prokaryotes Called Binary Fission DNA is copied & cell divides
Cell Division in Eukaryotes Called Mitosis Cell Grows & Copies its DNA then divides
The series of events that cells go through as they grow & divide ~ The Cell Cycle
2 Phases of the Cell Cycle Interphase “M” Phase Includes Mitosis & Cytokinesis
Interphase: a growth period G1 (Growth/Gap 1) - Cell grows in size, makes new organelles & performs assigned function; DNA is relaxed in chromatin and is not visible S phase (Synthesis) - duplicates DNA to prepare for mitosis G2 (Growth/Gap 2) – cell prepares for mitosis
Interphase
Vocab Terms Chromatin DNA “scrunched up” in the nucleus & is not visible
Vocab Terms Chromatin DNA “scrunched up” in the nucleus & is not visible Chromosomecell structure that carries the genetic material; visible during mitosis
Vocab Terms Sister chromatidsidentical halves of the duplicated parent chromosome Centromerecell structure that joins the two sister chromatids of a chromosome
Prophase DNA organizes Nuclear membrane & nucleolus disappear. chromatin condense into visible chromosomes (of two sister chromatids held together as a pair by a centromere. Nuclear membrane & nucleolus disappear. Spindle fibers form between the pairs of centrioles Prophase
Prophase
Metaphase Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. Each chromatid is attached to a separate spindle fiber by its centromere.
Metaphase
Anaphase Sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.
Anaphase
Telophase 2 identical daughter cells are formed. Cytokinesis occurs (the division of the cytoplasm) as the plasma membrane pinches in along the equator. Nucleolus and nuclear membrane reappear, chromosomes begin to uncoil & relax back into chromatin

Plants in cytokinesis Because plant cells have a cell wall, a cell plate forms across the cell’s equator instead of pinching in.
Finally… After mitosis is complete, each new daughter cell is an identical copy of the parent cell.

What happens when the cell is not growing or dividing? Cell is resting
When cells are damaged and need repair or need to be replaced, cell will reenter the cell cycle
Talk to a Partner: Do Cells Grow Indefinitely? Section 10-3 If center cells are removed, cells near the space will start to grow again. SHOWS: Cell division genes can be turned on and off Cells grow until they touch other cells
Controlling Cell Growth Through Gene Regulation Cell division stops when cells touch Can resume if space is available (injury) Cell division stops when they cannot absorb enough nutrients
What happens when the genes that control cell division become damaged? Some cells do not respond to the signals that regulate the growth Result ~ uncontrolled cell growth: cancer Causes of cancer: cigarette & tobacco use radiation exposure (X-ray & UV light) genetics some viruses

Stem Cells Stem cells - unspecialized cells Through cell differentiation – stem cells become specialized in structure and function Two Types: Embryonic and Adult Stem Cells
