1 Cell Division— Mitosis Notes

2 Cell Division — process by which a cell divides into 2 new cells

3 Why do Cells Need to Divide? We know cells are microscopic and can only be seen through a microscope. Cells are small for a reason!

4 Why do Cells Need to Divide? Transport of materials in and out of the cell is MUCH FASTER over short distances. If a cell was too large, the process would take too long.

5 Why do Cells Need to Divide? DNA is responsible for coding the proteins our cells need to survive. The larger the cell, the more protein it would need and DNA could not keep up!

6 Why do Cells Need to Divide? Surface Area to Volume Ratio – the larger the cell, the more volume it has. More is needed and more waste is produced. It would need more surface area than the membrane could provide.

7 Why do cells need to divide? Living things grow by producing more cells, NOT because each cell increases in size

11 Cell Reproduction Remember from the cell theory that all cells come from preexisting cells, so genetic information has to be passed from one generation to the next.

12 Cell Reproduction Genetic information is contained in DNA – deoxyribonucleic acid which is in the nucleus of a cell.

13 Cell Reproduction DNA exists in the nucleus as long, threadlike strands called chromatin. THERE is so much DNA material that has to fit inside a tiny little cell! How do we do that?

14 Cell Reproduction Cells pack all of that DNA into a tiny little nucleus by winding it up into coiled structures called chromatin.

15 Cell Reproduction When a cell is going to divide and produce more cells, the chromatin winds up into a double, coiled structure called a chromosome.

16

17 Cell Division All cells of the body EXCEPT the sex cells are called somatic cells. Blood cells, nerve cells, skin cells, etc.

18 Cell Division New somatic cells are made when one parent cell divides into two identical daughter cells

19 Cell Division For example, if you get a cut on your skin, eventually it heals up and new skin forms. This is because skin cells have multiplied and made EXACT copies of themselves for healing.

20 Cell Division So there has to be a way for new cells to form that have the EXACT SAME DNA as the parent cell. There must be DUPLICATION.

21 Cell Division The Cell Cycle: The process somatic cells go through in order to grow and reproduce

22 The Cell Cycle The cell cycle is divided into two main parts: Interphase Mitosis (M Phase)

23 Interphase Interphase– this is a time of growth and a time when DNA is replicated (a copy is made) inside the nucleus of the cell

24 Interphase It is divided into 3 parts: G1 Phase – G is for GROWTH! The cell is growing and making proteins

25 Interphase S Phase – S is for SYNTHESIS (making something). This is when the DNA is replicated and an identical set of chromosomes is made

26 Interphase G2 Phase – G is for GROWTH. The cell continues to grow and is getting ready for mitosis (division)

27 Mitosis The second part of the cell cycle is mitosis and cytokinesis. Mitosis is when the nucleus divides Cytokinesis is when the entire cell divides

28

29

30 Mitosis Mitosis is divided into 4 phases: Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telephase

31 Prophase The chromatin coils up tightly, gets shorter and thicker, and can be seen in the nucleus.

32 Prophase The chromatin is lined up in a way that two sister chromatids are held together at a middle point called a centromere. Each sister is a duplicate of the other (this was done in S phase).

33

34 Prophase The nuclear membrane disintegrates and a spindle starts to form. Spindle – Microtubules that line up in a spindle form in the cell to help division

35

36

37 Metaphase Chromatids line up in the MIDDLE. They attach to the spindle at the centromere in the middle of the nucleus (equator)

38

39 Anaphase Chromatids are pulled apart by the spindle. Each chromatid is now its own chromosome

40

41 Telophase The chromosomes reach opposite ends of the cell and start to unwind. Spindle disappears

42 Telophase Two new nuclear membranes form around each set of chromosomes to form two new nuclei

43 Cytokinesis The cytoplasm divides during cytokinesis

44 Plant vs Animal In animal cells, the cell membrane pinches inward and gradually separates

45

46 Plant vs Animal In plant cells, a cell plate forms between the two nuclei and grows out to the edges, dividing the cell in half.

47

48 Plant vs Animal Remember: In the plant cell, a new cell membrane will form around each cell and a cell wall forms around the outside.

61 What is the longest part of the cell cycle?

62 Interphase

63 In which part of interphase are the chromosomes replicated?

64 S Phase

65 During what part of interphase does the cell grow and prepare for mitosis?

66 G2

67 What is the division of the nucleus called?

68 Mitosis

69 What is the division of the entire cell called?

70 Cytokinesis

71 If you are observing a cell and notice that the chromosomes appear to be lined up in the middle of the nucleus, what stage of mitosis are you observing?

72 Metaphase

73 If it looks as though the cell you see through the microscope has two nuclei, what stage of mitosis are you observing?

74 Telophase

75 A cell plate is forming in one of the cells that you are observing. Which of the following type of cells could you be viewing?

76 a. Human skin cells b. Root tip cells c. A fly’s eye d. bristles of an earthworm

77 Root tip cells!

78 In which of the following circumstances would cells NOT divide by the process of mitosis?

79 a. Repairing a cut b. Adding cells for an infant to grow c. Creating sex cells d. Replacing old skin cells

80 Creating sex cells

81 How many times do chromosomes separate during the process of mitosis?

82 One
