1
The Cell Cycle & Cell Division (Eukaryotic cells)
3
Why do cells divide? a. To replace old or injured cells b. For growth and development c. For reproduction of species
4
Eukaryotic Cells have a Life Cycle Eukaryotic Cells have a Life Cycle The life cycle of a cell includes three main stages: 1. Interphase 2. Mitosis 3. Cytokinesis
5
Interphase – preparing for division Animal & Plant Cell Cell increases in size Conducts life processes DNA replicates
6
Mitosis The process of cell division which results in the production of two daughter cells from a single parent cell. The daughter cells are identical to each other and the parent
7
Prophase - prepares for nuclear division Animal Cell ◦ Chromosomes - rod-like and visible ◦ Spindle fibers form ◦ Centrioles move to poles Plant cell ◦ Same activities as animal cell Except: ◦ No centrioles in plants

Prophase

Prophase Animal Cell Plant Cell Photographs from: http://www.bioweb.uncc.edu/biol1110/Stages.htm
10
Metaphase – Nuclear Division Metaphase – Nuclear Division Animal Cell & Plant ◦ Chromosomes line up at the center of the cell and attach to spindle fibers at the centromere

Metaphase

13
Anaphase – Nuclear Division Anaphase – Nuclear Division Animal & Plant Cell ◦ Spindle fibers pull chromosomes apart ◦ ½ of each chromosome (called chromatid) moves to poles

Anaphase
16
Telophase – Nuclear Division Telophase – Nuclear Division Animal Cell ◦ Spindle fibers disappear ◦ 2 nuclei form ◦ Cell membrane begins to pinches in Plant Cell ◦ Same activities,EXCEPT: - Cytoplasm does not pinch in. ◦ Cell plate forms ◦ Cell plate becomes cell membrane and cell wall.

18
Cytokinesis - Cell Division Animal Cell -Cytoplasm pinches in two. -Two new daughter cells with exact number and type of chromosomes as parent cell Plant Cell -Cell plate becomes cell membrane and cell wall.
19
Cytokinesis – Two daughter cells exactly like parent cell (The Cell Cycle starts again with Interphase)
