2. Brainteaser  You enter a dark room. You have only one match. There is an oil lamp, a furnace, and a stove in the room. Which would you light first?

3. Cell Growth and Reproduction Mitosis Nuclear Division

4. Mitosis produces identical offspring (2N---2N)

5. Cell Growth and Reproduction So how does cell division take place? Scientists recognized that just before cell division, stringy structures appeared in nucleus. –These structures are duplicated strands of chromatin that have been coiled into chromosomes.

6. Cell cycle = Growth & Reproduction Before cell division, the DAN is in its stringy active CHROMATIN state. As cell division begins, chromatins condense into a tightly packed DUPLICATED CHROMOSOME. Genes are found on chromosomes Genes are made of segments of DNA DNA is made up of nucleotides of Deoxyribose sugars, a phosphates and specific N-base pairs. A - T G - C

7. The Cell Cycle - the cell’s life cycle- I - M – C Interphase Mitosis Cytokinesis

9. Cell Cycle - Interphase INTERPHASE: DNA has replicated (s-phase), but has not formed the condensed structure of chromosome. They remain as loosely coiled chromatin.chromatin The nuclear membrane is still intact to protect the DNA molecules from undergoing mutation.

10. Cell Cycle and Mitosis MITOSIS: –As cell gets to the maximum size, it begins to undergo MITOSIS (cell division) –FOUR PHASES: Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase

11. Cell Cycle and Mitosis - Prophase PROPHASE – 1 st Stage of Mitosis Long stringy chromatin coils up into visible chromosomes Spindle fibers Disappearing nuclear envelope Doubled Chromosome

12. Cell Cycle & Mitosis - Prophase PROPHASE – 1 st stage of Mitosis –Towards end of Prophase, nucleus begins to disappear as nuclear envelope and nucleolus disintegrate. –The nuclear membrane and nucleolus are no longer visible.nucleolus –Centrioles begin to migrate to opposite ends of cells.

13. Cell Cycle & Mitosis - Prophase PROPHASE: Let’s break it down –Chromosomes coil up. –Sister Chromatids form. –Nucleolus and Nuclear Envelope disintegrates. –Centrioles migrate to opposite ends. –Spindles form between Centrioles.

14. Cell Cycle & Mitosis - Metaphase METAPHASE – Line Up! The spindle fibers attach themselves to the centromeres of the chromosomes. One spindle extends to one pole while another spindle extends to the opposite pole.centromeres The chromosomes align at the equator or middle.

15. Cell Cycle & Mitosis - Metaphase METAPHASE –What is the importance? This arrangement of the chromatids ensures that each new cell receives identical and complete set of chromosomes (DNA).

16. Cell Cycle & Mitosis - Anaphase ANAPHASE – Go to your room! –Centromeres split and sister chromatids separate. –Spindle fibers contract and pull the chromatids to opposite poles.

17. Cell Cycle & Mitosis - Telophase TELOPHASE – “Call me girl” –Chromatids reach opposite poles. –Nucleolus and nuclear envelope reappears around new set of chromosomes. –Spindle fibers breaks down. –Chromosomes begin to unwind and return to Chromatin (active DNA).

18. Cell Cycle & Mitosis - Telophase TELOPHASE = Reverse Prophase –Nuclear membrane & nucleolus reappear. –Chromosomes unwind back into Chromatids. –Spindle fibers disintegrate and disappear.

19. Cell Cycle and Cytokinesis Cytokinesis: Division of the cytoplasm. –Some time during Telophase, cell’s cytoplasm begins to divide. –Animal Cells: During Telophase, the plasma membrane pinches together/off to form two separate cells.

20. Plant Cells: A cell Plate is laid across cell’s equator—there is no pinching off. Cell membrane forms around each cell and new cell walls form on each side of cell plate.

21. Cell Cycle and Cytokinesis Cytokinesis:

24. Mitosis What are the results of Mitosis? – 2 genetically identical daughter cells with the complete number of chromosomes (2n). –Unicellular organism remains a single cell but has replicated itself. –Multicellular organisms have grown or created another cell that will work together as a tissue to perform a certain function.
