2. Cell Division
7 week old embryo
Some cells divide constantly: cells in the embryo, skin cells, intestinal cells, etc.
Intestinal Cell
Epithelial Cell

3. Spinal Cord Cell- Nerve cell
Cell Division
Other cells divide rarely or never.
Spinal Cord Cell- Nerve cell

Brain Cell – Nerve cell

4. Cell Cycle
A typical cell goes through a process of growth, development, and reproduction called the cell cycle.
Most of the cycle is called interphase.
INTERPHASE

5. Cell Cycle The longest phase in the cell cycle is interphase.
The 3 stages of interphase are called G1, S, and G2.

6. Cell Cycle
Cells spend most of their time in G1: it is the time when the cell grows and performs its normal function.
Control of cell division occurs in G1

7. Cell Cycle
The S phase (“Synthesis”) is the time when the DNA is replicated.
Parent strands
Daughter strands

8. Cell Cycle G2 is the period between S and mitosis.
DNA replication is checked and the cell is getting ready to divide.

10. Cell Division All living cells come from other living cells.
During mitosis, the nucleus of the cell divides, forming two nuclei with identical genetic information.

11. Mitosis Mitosis produces two genetically identical cells.
Mitosis is referred to in the following stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

12. Prophase In prophase, the cell begins the process of division.
The chromosomes condense.

13. duplicated
chromosome
chromatin

14. Prophase
Nuclear envelope disappears.

15. Aster and the mitotic apparatus in an animal cell
Prophase
Centrioles migrate to opposite poles of the cell.
Asters and spindle fibers form.

23. Metaphase
The chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell (metaphase plate), with the centrioles at opposite ends and the spindle fibers attached to the centromeres.

25. Draw Metaphase

26. Anaphase In anaphase, the centromeres divide.
At this point, each chromosome goes from having 2 sister chromatids to being 2 separate chromosomes

27. Anaphase
The spindle fibers contract and the chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles.

28. Draw Anaphase

29. Telophase In telophase the nucleus actually divides.
The chromosomes are at the poles of the cell.
The nuclear envelope re-forms around the two sets of chromosomes.

30. Draw Telophase

31. Cytokinesis The division of the cytoplasm.
In animal cells, a Cleavage Furrow forms and separates Daughter Cells

32. Cytokinesis
In plant cells, a Cell Plate forms and separates Daughter Cells.
