The Cell Cycle Interphase Mitosis Cytokinesis
2
How do little elephants grow up to be BIG elephants?
3
Why do animals shed their skin?
4
How does the cell know how to divide?
Cell Division Reproduction Growth Repair Why do cells divide? How does the cell know how to divide? The DNA has the instructions for all of the cell’s activities.
5
Cell Cycle 3 Parts The sequence of development and division of a cell
Interphase - Preparation Mitosis – Cell division Cytokinesis – Splitting Adult human cell: ~24 hrs 18-20 hours in interphase 2 hours in mitosis How long does it take?
6
Animated Cell Cycle Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase

occurs before mitosis begins
Interphase occurs before mitosis begins What happens Centrioles Cell in Resting State When ready to divide, Cell doubles in size DNA replicates or copies itself Organelles double in number DNA condenses into chromatin, a thread like coil Nucleolus Chromatin Cell Membrane

Number of Chromosomes in Different Species
Dog - 76 Rat – 92 Bean – 22 Human – 46 Elephant – 56 Cow – 60 Fly 8 Chimp - 48
10
Mitosis: 1st PROPHASE What happens
Chromosome Chromatin (DNA) forms into 2 sister chromatids that make up 1 chromosome = Chromosomes Form Spindle fibers form Centrioles move toward opposite ends of the cell Nuclear membrane begins to disappear Nucleolus disappears Centromere 2 Sister Chromatids
11
Prophase Plant Cell Animal Cell Spindle fibers Centrioles
Photographs from:
12
Mitosis: 2nd METAPHASE What happens Nucleus has disappeared completely
Spindle Fibers attach to centromeres Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell Chromatid 1A Centrioles Chromosome 1 Chromatid 1B
13
Metaphase Plant Cell Animal Cell
Photographs from:
14
Mitosis: 3rd ANAPHASE What happens Centromeres divide
Chromatid What happens Centromeres divide Spindle Fibers pull chromatids away towards opposite poles Chromosomes are separated Centrioles Spindle Fibers
15
Anaphase Plant Cell Animal Cell
Photographs from:
16
Mitosis: TELOPHASE What happens
Nuclear membrane forms around each group of chromosomes Chromosomes unwind into chromatin Cytokinesis begins Centrioles Cell begins to separate
17
Telophase Plant Cell Animal Cell
Photographs from:
18
Cytokinesis What happens Chromatin returns to DNA
2 Identical Cells Chromatin returns to DNA Cytoplasm and organelles divide into each cell One cell becomes 2 cells What happens
19
Final Product Mitosis produces 2 daughter cells genetically identical to each other and the original parent cell.
