1
Cell Growth and Reproduction
2
Cell Size Limitations How does a cell receive materials and expel its wastes? Through the plasma membrane This means that no part of the cell can be too far away Mitochondria of a cell 20 cm wide would have to wait months
3
Surface Area to Volume Ratio
The more volume = more cytoplasm = more energy requirements Volume increases much greater than surface area If a cell a cell were to double; it would require 8X as much nutrients
5
Cell Reproduction Recall cell theory One cell becomes two
Chromosomes – structures which contain DNA and are carriers of genetic material that is copied and passed from generation to generation
6
Cell Reproduction cont…
Most of time as chromatin Chromatin – long strands of DNA wrapped around proteins Condenses before cell division Cell division follows a pattern or cycle
7
Chromosomes
8
The Cell Cycle Events that occur in the life of a cell
Includes 3 major stages: Interphase Mitosis Cytokinesis
10
Interphase Most of the cell cycle is in what stage? 3 parts
G1- rapid growth and metabolic activity S – DNA synthesis and replication G2 – Cell prepares for division
11
Mitosis Cells undergo division when they get to a certain size
Continuous process Stages are named for ease of identification
12
Steps of Mitosis Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Cytokinesis
13
Prophase Chromatin condenses into chromosomes
Two halves called sister chromatids are held together by contromere Nucleus disentegrates Centrioles go to poles Spindle forms
14
Prophase
15
Metaphase Chromosomes pulled by spindle fibers at the centromeres
Sister chromatids lined up in the middle Single file
16
Metaphase
17
Anaphase Centromeres split
Sister chromatids pulled apart by spindle fibers Pulled to opposite sides
18
Anaphase
19
Telophase Chromatids reach opposite poles Chromosomes unwind
Spindle breaks down Nuclear membrane and nucleolus reappear
20
Telophase
21
Cytokinesis Dividing the cytoplasm between the two new daughter cells
Cleavage furrow in animal cells Cell plate in plant cells
22
Cytokinesis in Animals
23
Cytokinesis in Plants
25
Mitosis in Onion Cell
26
Mitosis in Whitefish
27
In mitosis, the two double copies of the DNA attached to the spindle fibers are known as __________.
a. centromeres b. chromatids c. centrioles d. nucleoli
32
During which phase do most cells spend the most time?
a. prophase b. metaphase c. anaphase d. interphase
33
If a cell has 20 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will be present in the daughter cells?
34
List the stages of the Cell Cycle in order
35
Name one stage of Interphase
