1.  Interphase-  Cells grow  prepare for cell division by copying DNA (replication). DNA carries all information that all cells need to carry out their functions.  Divide into two new cells (Mitosis)

2. 2 2 Asexual Reproduction Mitosis DSQ: Mitosis is the process in which the nucleus divides to form two new nuclei. How does mitosis differ in plants and animals?

3. How do little elephants grow up to be BIG elephants?

5. The process of asexual reproduction begins after a sperm fertilizes an egg.

6. Skin cancer - the abnormal growth of skin cells - most often develops on skin exposed to the sun. Cell that reproduce by asexual reproduction reproduce constantly.

8. Chromosomes are copied (# doubles) Chromosomes appear as threadlike coils ( chromatin ) at the start, but each chromosome and its copy( sister chromosome) change to sister chromatids at end of this phase CELL MEMBRANE Nucleus Cytoplasm

10. Mitosis begins (cell begins to divide) Centrioles (or poles) appear and begin to move to opposite end of the cell. Spindle fibers form between the poles. Centrioles Sister chromatids Spindle fibers

12. Chromatids (or pairs of chromosomes) attach to the spindle fibers. Centrioles Spindle fibers

14. Chromatids (or pairs of chromosomes) separate and begin to move to opposite ends of the cell. Centrioles Spindle fibers

16. Two new nuclei form. Chromosomes appear as chromatin (threads rather than rods). Mitosis ends. Nuclei Chromatin

18. Cell membrane moves inward to create two daughter cells – each with its own nucleus with identical chromosomes.
