1. Cell Reproduction--Mitosis
Section 8.2

2. Why do cells reproduce at all? Couldn’t they grow really, really big?
Cells are limited to small sizes, therefore they must reproduce to make many cells instead of one big cell.

3. Diffusion would be too slow. Too many proteins would be needed.
1. Reasons why big cells are bad include:
Diffusion would be too slow.
Too many proteins would be needed.
Cell membrane would not work properly.
(surface area of cell) would not be able to increase as fast as the cell volume)
(volume = l x w x h; surface area = l x w x 6)

4. Review: (2) all cells come from pre-existing cells
This means that when a cell reproduces or divides, it creates two cells that are identical to the original.

5. 3. This occurs not only because it is better to have many small cells, but also because
an organism needs to grow or replace dead tissue. (growth and to replace dead tissue
Results in population growth in unicellular (one-celled)organisms.

6. 4. Chromosomes are structures that carry the coiled DNA.5

7. 5. Chromosome Centromere—hold together the halves Sister chromatid
(the two halves of a replicated chromosome)

8. The Cell Cycle
6. The cell cycle is the steps a cell goes through during its life. .

9. A. interphase--a period of growth and DNA replication.
Most of a cell’s life is spent in this stage

10. This is also where your DNA replicates
Interphase
The stage where the cell grows and does normal stuff
This is also where your DNA replicates

11. Interphase Plant Cell Animal Cell
Photographs from:

12. 7.b. Mitosis
B. Mitosis-- cell division resulting in 2 identical cells
There are a series of steps after which 2 identical cells are formed, each with complete set of chromosomes.

14. 8. Steps of Mitosis (PMAT)
Prophase--prepares
Metaphase--middle
Anaphase--apart
Telophase--two
**use the terms to provide clues for what happens in each step**

15. Directions for diagrams:
You will cut out descriptions for what occurs during the 4 steps of mitosis. As you read through the next slides, you will match the description with the diagram on your paper and glue or tape it down in the box provided.

16. Prophase First and longest step.
Chromatin (DNA) coils into chromosomes. .
nuclear membrane disappears.
In animal cells, centrioles and spindle fiber have formed
Prophase

17. Centrioles move to poles of cell and make spindle fibers
The 1st step of Mitosis,,,,,,Prophase
DNA thickens into chromosomes
Nuclear membrane disappears
Centrioles move to poles of cell and make spindle fibers

18. Prophase Plant Cell Animal Cell Spindle fibers Centrioles
Photographs from:

19. Metaphase Chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers at the centromere.
chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell, so each sister chromatid is facing a pole.

20. Metaphase Plant Cell Animal Cell
Photographs from:

21. Anaphase
Sister chromatids are pulled apart towards opposite poles.

22. Anaphase Plant Cell Animal Cell
Photographs from:

23. Telophase Chromatids reach opposite poles and begin to uncoil.
Two new nuclei are formed.
new cell membrane begins to form

24. Telophase Plant Cell Animal Cell
Photographs from:

25. In animal cells it pinches in two this is called a Cleavage Furrow
10. Cytokinesis….this is when the cell actually splits in two and divides the cytoplasm in half
In animal cells it pinches in two this is called a Cleavage Furrow

26. Cytokinesis occurs after mitosis
Cell membrane moves inward to create two daughter cells – each with its own nucleus with identical chromosomes.

27. Cytokinesis In plants the cell just builds a new cell wall straight down the middle
