Cell Growth and Reproduction
Cells grow and then reproduce Worn-out cells are repaired or replaced by new cells Cells grow in a cycle, called the Cell Cycle
2
Cell Cycle 2 general periods 1) Growth (Interphase)
2) Division (mitosis)
3
MITOSIS Cell division is called Mitosis
Mitosis has 4 phases: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase Result: 2 genetically identical daughter cells
4
Interphase During this phase the Cell grows in size and Carries on metabolism Chromosomes (structures that carry DNA) are duplicated
5
Interphase Divided into 3 parts G1 (growth 1) S ( synthesis)
6
G1(growth 1) A time of rapid growth and metabolic activity
Protein production is high Organelles are beginning to be made
7
S (synthesis) DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is synthesized and replicated The cell copies its chromosomes
8
G2 (growth 2) Mitochondria and other organelles are made
Centrioles (contractile tubules), replicate The last stop before a cell divides (is mitosis)
9
Chromosomes Carry DNA on them
When they are not getting ready for cell division, chromosomes exist at chromatin Chromatin is long strands of DNA wrapped around proteins
10
The 2 halves of chromosomes are called Sister Chromatids
Sister Chromatids and the DNA they contain are exact copies of each other
12
Mitosis: Cell Division
13
4 Phases of Mitosis 1. Prophase 2. Metaphase 3. Anaphase 4. Telophase
14
Prophase Chromatin coils into visible chromosomes Nucleus disappears
Nuclear envelope and nucleolus disintegrate Centrioles (only present in animals) begin to migrate to opposite ends of the cell (poles) A spindle begins to form, which plays a role in the separation of sister chromatids
15
Nucleus Centrioles Nuclear Envelope Spindle Fibers Chromosomes
16
Metaphase Short phase Chromosomes become attached to the spindle fiber by their centromere Chromosomes begin to line up in the middle of the cell, called the equator META = MIDDLE
17
centrioles Chromosomes Spindle Centromere
18
Anaphase Sister Chromatids begin to separate
The centromeres split apart ANA = APART
19
Centrioles Sister Chromatids Split apart Spindle
20
Telophase Sister Chromatids reach the opposite poles of the cell
Spindle begins to breakdown Nucleus reappears Nuclear envelope forms around each set of chromosomes
21
Telophase In plants, a cell plate is formed
In animals the cell “pinches” in along the equator, which is called a Cleavage furrow
22
Centrioles Chromosomes Nucleus
The animal Cell “pinches” in at the equator Nuclear Membrane
23
Cytokinesis The cell’s cytoplasm divides
Result: 2 Daughter Cells that are GENETICALLY IDENTICAL hill.com/sites/ /student_view0/chapter2/animation__mitosis_and_cytokinesis.html
