1. The Cell Cycle
A Journey from

3. What’s happening to the cells?!?!?!?!?!?!!?

4. Cell growth and division (pg 2)
Cells have size restriction
There are 2 types of cell division : Mitosis and Meiosis
Mitosis = cell division that creates two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, diploid
Meiosis = cell division that creates four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, makes gametes and plant spores. haploid

5. What does a cell need to divide?
Requirements for Division (pg2)
Macromolecules
Growth Factors = protein or hormone that stimulates growth of a cell
vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)

6. Interphase (pg2)
Cells are growing, replicating DNA, doing cell functions
Just hanging out
Has 3 parts
G1 = the cell grows
S = synthesizes DNA
G2= growth for mitosis

7. Mitosis aka M-Phase (pg2)
Has 4 phases
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
mitosis video

8. Prophase (pg2) Spindles start forming at centrosome
DNA forms chromosomes
Attaching at centromere
Chromatids form
Spindles start forming at centrosome
Nuclear membrane starts dissolving

9. Metaphase (pg2) Chromosomes line up in middle of cell
Nuclear membrane completely dissolves
Spindles connect to centromeres
Centrioles move to different sides

10. Anaphase (pg 2) Sister chromatids pulled apart by spindles
Chromosomes start moving to end of cells

11. Telophase (pg2) Chromosomes reach opposite ends of the cell
Nuclear membrane forms around chromosomes

12. Cytokinesis (pg2) The final step!!!!!!
The cytoplasm divides and pinches off
Have 2 daughter cells
