1
Asexual Reproduction The Cell Cycle 1
2
DNA Replication DNA must be copied or replicated before cell division
Each new cell will then have an identical copy of the DNA Original DNA strand Two new, identical DNA strands
3
Identical Daughter Cells
Two identical daughter cells Parent Cell
4
Chromosomes
5
Prokaryotic Chromosome
The DNA of prokaryotes (bacteria) is one, circular chromosome attached to the inside of the cell membrane
6
Eukaryotic Chromosomes
All eukaryotic cells store genetic information in chromosomes Most eukaryotes have between 10 and 50 chromosomes in their body cells Human body cells have 46 chromosomes or 23 identical pairs
7
Eukaryotic Chromosomes
Each chromosome is composed of a single, tightly coiled DNA molecule Chromosomes can’t be seen when cells aren’t dividing and are called chromatin
8
Chromosomes in Dividing Cells
Duplicated chromosomes are called chromatids & are held together by the centromere Called Sister Chromatids
9
Karyotype A picture of the chromosomes from a human cell arranged in pairs by size First 22 pairs are called autosomes Last pair are the sex chromosomes XX female or XY male
10
The Y Chromosome Decides
Boy or Girl? The Y Chromosome Decides Y - Chromosome X - Chromosome
11
Cell Division in Prokaryotes
12
Cell Division in Prokaryotes
Prokaryotes such as bacteria divide into 2 identical cells by the process of binary fission Single chromosome makes a copy of itself Cell wall forms between the chromosomes dividing the cell Parent cell Chromosome relicates Cell splits 2 identical daughter cells
13
Prokaryotic Cell Undergoing Binary Fission

How do little elephants grow up to be BIG elephants?
15
Why do animals shed their skin?
16
The process of asexual reproduction in eukaryotes begins after a sperm fertilizes an egg.
17
Three reasons why cells reproduce by asexual reproduction: 1. Growth 2
Three reasons why cells reproduce by asexual reproduction: Growth Repair Replacement Skin cancer - the abnormal growth of skin cells - most often develops on skin exposed to the sun. Cancer develops when cells that reproduce by asexual reproduction divide out of control.
18
The Cell Cycle
19
Sketch the Cell Cycle DNA Copied Cells prepare Cells Mature
for Division Cells Mature Daughter Cells Cytoplasmic Division Nuclear Division Cell Divides into 2 Identical cells
20
Animated Cell Cycle Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase
Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase & Cytokinesis
21
Interphase occurs before mitosis begins
Chromosomes are copied (# doubles) Chromosomes appear as threadlike coils (chromatin) at the start, but each chromosome and its copy(sister chromosomes) change to sister chromatids at end of this phase
22
Interphase - G1 Stage 1st growth stage after cell division
Cells mature by making more cytoplasm & organelles Cell carries on its normal metabolic activities Cells can leave this phase (G0)and go through a rest phase and then reenter before proceeding to the S phase
23
Interphase – S Phase Synthesis Phase DNA is copied or replicated
Two identical copies of DNA Original DNA
24
Interphase – G2 Stage 2nd Growth Stage
Occurs after DNA has been copied All cell structures needed for division are made (e.g. centrioles) Both organelles & proteins are synthesized
25
What’s Happening in Interphase?
What the cell looks like Animal Cell What’s occurring
26
Interphase Plant Cell Animal Cell

27
Mitosis
28
Mitosis Division of the nucleus Only occurs in eukaryotes
Has four stages Doesn’t occur in some cells such as brain cells
29
Four Mitotic Stages Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase
30
Prophase Mitosis begins (cell begins to divide)
Centrioles (or poles) appear and begin to move to opposite end of the cell (animal cells only). Spindle fibers form between the poles. Nucleus and nucleolus disappear Chromatin condenses (coils) to form chromosomes
31
Prophase Plant Cell Animal Cell Spindle fibers Centrioles
Photographs from:
32
Metaphase Chromosomes are now lined up at the equator
Chromatids (or pairs of chromosomes) attach to the spindle fibers. Chromosomes are now lined up at the equator
33
Metaphase Plant Cell Animal Cell
Photographs from:
34
Anaphase Occurs rapidly
Chromatids (or pairs of chromosomes) separate and begin to move to opposite ends of the cell.
35
Anaphase Plant Cell Animal Cell
Photographs from:
36
Telophase Two new nuclei and nucleoli form.
Chromosomes appear as chromatin (threads rather than rods). Cleavage furrow begins to forms in animal cells and a cell plate begins to form in plant cells Mitosis ends.
37
Telophase Plant Cell Animal Cell
Photographs from:
38
Cytokinesis occurs after mitosis
Cell membrane moves inward to divide the cytoplasm and create two daughter cells – each with its own nucleus with identical chromosomes.
