2. The Cell Cycle

3. Animated Cycle

4. MITOSIS

5. 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 one another and to the original parent cell.

6. Mitosis can be divided into stages
Interphase
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Cytokinesis

7. Interphase The cell prepares for division
Animal Cell
DNA replicated – sister chromatids form
Organelles replicated
Repair
growth

8. Interphase Plant Cell Animal Cell
Photographs from:

9. Prophase The cell prepares for nuclear division
Animal Cell
Centrioles(“fishing poles”) to opposite sides of the cell
Nuclear membrane dissolves
Spindle fibers (“fishing line”) form

10. Prophase Plant Cell Animal Cell
Photographs from:

11. Metaphase The cell prepares chromosomes for division
Animal Cell
Sister chromatids line up at the center of the cell
Spindle fibers attach from daughter cells to chromosomes at the centromere

12. Metaphase Plant Cell Animal Cell
Photographs from:

13. Anaphase The chromosomes divide
Animal Cell
Spindle fibers pull chromatids apart at centromere

14. Anaphase Plant Cell Animal Cell
Photographs from:

15. Telophase
2 nuclei form
Cell wall pinches in to form the 2 new daughter cells at cleavage furrow
Spindle fibers dissolve

16. Telophase Plant Cell Animal Cell
Photographs from:

17. Cytokinesis Division of cytoplasm Identical daughter are separated
Cell cycle begins again
