Cell Division
2
The process of a cell dividing into two identical daughter cells.
3
Background Info DNA – the molecule that carries genetic information Chromosomes – condensed DNA Chromatin – DNA that is uncondensed & thread-like
4
Chromosome vs. Chromatin
5
Background Info Chromatids – the two identical “sister” parts of a chromosome Centromere – where the two chromatids attach
6
The cells of every organism have a specific number of chromosomes. Fruit Flies8 chromosomes Humans46 chromosomes Carrots18 chromosomes Hedgehogs90 chromosomes
7
The Cell Cycle : The events a cell goes through as it grows and divides.
8
Two main phases Interphase – The time a cell spends not dividing. A cell spends the majority of its life in this phase. M-phase – When the cell divides.
9
Interphase G1 –The cell doing its normal functions. The cell grows Protein synthesis Mitochondria/Chloroplasts made Other organelles made S (synthesis) phase - new DNA is made. G2 – The cell gets ready for mitosis.
10
M phase Mitosis – the first stage of cell division, where the nucleus divides. Cytokinesis – the second stage of cell division, where the cytoplasm divides.
11
Length of cell cycle How often a cell divides depends on the particular function of the cell. Bacterial cells30 minutes Skin cells12 hours Liver cells2 years Muscle cellsnever
12
Regulating the Cell Cycle A protein called, cyclin, regulates the timing of the cell cycle.
13
When things go wrong Cancer happens when cells lose the ability to regulate the cell cycle. Cancer cells divide uncontrollably. Cancer cells form masses of cells called tumors. Cancer cells can occur in any type of tissue.

Interphase
20
Interphase occurs before mitosis begins Regular cell activity Regular cell activity Its not an inactive phase, but a phase when a lot of metabolic reactions occur. Its not an inactive phase, but a phase when a lot of metabolic reactions occur. Chromosomes cannot be seen. Chromosomes cannot be seen. CELL MEMBRANE Nucleus Cytoplasm

22
Mitosis The division of somatic or regular cells. It’s divided into 4 phases. Remember Interphase is NOT part of Mitosis.
23
Mitosis 1. Prophase 2. Metaphase 3. Anaphase 4. Telophase
24
Prophase 1 st step in Mitosis Nuclear membrane breaks down. Nuclear membrane breaks down. Chromosomes become visible Chromosomes become visible Centrioles appear and move to opposite ends of the cell. Centrioles appear and move to opposite ends of the cell. Chromosomes attach to Spindle fibers. Chromosomes attach to Spindle fibers. Centrioles Sister chromatids Spindle fibers

26
Metaphase 2 nd step in Mitosis Chromosomes line up in the center of the cell. Chromosomes line up in the center of the cell. Spindle fibers (microtubules) attach to the centromeres. Spindle fibers (microtubules) attach to the centromeres. Centrioles Spindle fibers

28
Anaphase 3 rd step in Mitosis Spindle fibers contract and pull apart sister chromatids. Spindle fibers contract and pull apart sister chromatids. Chromatids (or pairs of chromosomes) separate and begin to move to opposite ends of the cell. Chromatids (or pairs of chromosomes) separate and begin to move to opposite ends of the cell. Centrioles Spindle fibers

30
Telophase 4th s tep in Mitosis Chromosomes gather at the opposite ends of the cell. Chromosomes gather at the opposite ends of the cell. Nuclear membranes reform around each cluster of chromosomes (2 new nuclei). Nuclear membranes reform around each cluster of chromosomes (2 new nuclei). Chromosomes turn into chromatin (threads). Chromosomes turn into chromatin (threads). Mitosis ends. Mitosis ends.

32
Cytokinesis occurs after mitosis Cell membrane moves inward to create two daughter cells – each with its own nucleus with identical chromosomes. Cell membrane moves inward to create two daughter cells – each with its own nucleus with identical chromosomes. The two cells are identical to the original and to each other. The two cells are identical to the original and to each other.
33
Cytokinesis In plant cells, a cell plate forms down the center. In animal cells, new membrane is formed.
