1. Cell Division: all cells come from pre- existing cells

2. 2 Types of Division

3. 1. Mitosis: cell division which produces 2 diploid, identical cells

4. 2. Meiosis: cell division which produces 4 haploid cells

5. Cell Life Cycle 1.Interphase: G1, S, and G2 G = growth S = Synthesis 2.M phase: mitosis – nuclear division 3.Cytokinesis: cytoplasm division

6. Interphase 1. Interphase: DNA not visible -nucleus still intact

7. Phases of Mitosis 2.Prophase: chromosomes become visible -nucleus disintegrates

8. Phases of Mitosis 3.Metaphase: chromosomes connect at the centromere to spindle fibers -line up at the equatorial plate

9. Phases of Mitosis 4.Anaphase: spindle fibers recede -pull chromosomes apart -chromosomes retreat to opposite ends

10. Phases of Mitosis 5.Telophase: nucleus reforms Cytokinesis splitting the cell -2 daughter cells are formed
