The Cell Cycle and Mitosis Biology
About 2 trillion cells are produced by you every day Per second? About 25 million Egg/Sperm “Zygote” Embryo Fetus Baby
“Cell Division” “Cell Reproduction”
THE CELL CYCLE = sequence of growth and division - Interphase - Mitosis 2 Stages?
DNA Replication Exact copies of Chromosomes S **DNA must be copied then distributed
Chromosome DNA Gene Chromosome = consists of DNA tightly coiled around proteins
HUMANS “Somatic cells” (body cells) # Pairs? Single? 23 46
Why pairs? Dad Mom Diploid = 2n Autosomes Sex Chromosomes Pair 23 = Pair 1-22 = Gene Gene
MITOSIS PMAT Cytokinesis Acronym? Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Phases?
92 46 PMAT Cytokinesis 46
Chromosome Sister Chromatids DNA pairs find “partner” = Sister Chromatids “Homologous Chromosomes”
46 P A M T Pairs?
Mitosis Videos llhttp:// ll vB_m4http:// vB_m4
CYTOKINESIS Animal “Cleavage Furrow” Plant “Cell Plate”
Daughter Cells go? Interphase
Anaphase Metaphase Prophase Interphase Telophase
Cancer = uncontrolled growth/division of cells If gene that contains info for cell growth/division is mutated = Cell growth/division unregulated
Tumor “benign tumor”“malignant tumor” Metastasis Chemotherapy with toxic drugs. Radiation therapy = a mass of abnormal cells. Therapy? (start more tumors) Mammograms
