What are we learning today? 1.What are the phases of mitosis and what happens during each phase? 2.What is the significance of mitosis to asexual reproduction?
2
Mitosis Cell division
3
Cell Cycle Cell division: process by which cells divide to produce new cells. The two cells are identical to the original cell.(parent cell) The new cells are called daughter cells Liver Cells
4
Cell Lifespan As an organism grows and changes, new cells are being produced as old ones are dying. Cell TypeLifespan Red blood cell Platelet Bone cells Brain cells Colon cells Skin cells Stomach cells

12
Cell Cycle Cells undergo a period of growth and a period of division. The majority of the cell’s life is spent in Interphase During interphase, a cell grows in size, and carries on metabolism
13
Cell cycle During interphase, the DNA is in the form of chromatin. Chromatin is long stringy strands of DNA. The long strands allow the DNA to be read The DNA is replicated during interphase (copied)
14
Mitosis Mitosis: a period of nuclear cell division. Two daughter cells are formed each with a complete set of chromosomes.
15
Chromosomes Chromosomes: long, tightly coiled strands of DNA Carry genetic information which is passed from parent to daughter cell
16
Chromosomes After being replicated, the chromosome is made of 2 sister chromatids held together by a centromere.
17
Prophase Prophase: first and longest phase of mitosis Chromatin coils into visible chromosomes The nuclear envelope disintegrates.
18
Prophase Centrioles move to opposite sides of the cell Spindle fiber forms between them.
19
Prophase Name the parts of the cell in prophase a.Chromosome b.Centriole c.Spindle fiber d.Nuclear membrane
20
Metaphase Metaphase: 2 nd phase. Mitotic spindle is completely formed, connecting the centrioles. Chromosomes attach to the spindle. Chromosomes line up along the middle.
21
Anaphase Anaphase: 3 rd Phase The two centromeres of the chromosome split apart Chromatid pairs separate and are pulled to the opposite sides.
22
Telophase Telophase: 4 th Phase Chromatids reach the opposite sides. Spindle fibers break down. Nuclear envelope forms Chromosomes unravel
23
Cytokinesis Cytokinesis: separation of cytoplasm after telophase New cell membrane forms Two daughter cells formed.
24
Name the phase. Metaphase

33
Name the Phase. Anaphase
34
How do you know? Anaphase
35
Does anything else happen during this phase? Anaphase
36
Results of Mitosis Genetic continuity – two cells which are identical to the parent cell Cells that are alike can work together to perform a specific task. Cell Tissue Organ Organ system No matter how complex the system, the cell is the basic unit of life
37
What order? How can I remember what order they go in? PMATPMAT Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase…
