1. Cell Division
The differences between plant and
animal cells 1

2. Interphase occurs before mitosis begins
Chromosomes are copied (# doubles)
All organelles and cytoplasm double
Chromosomes appear as long thin threadlike coils (chromatin)

3. Interphase Plant Cell Animal Cell
Photographs from:

4. Prophase 1st step in Mitosis
Centrioles (or poles) appear
Spindle fibers form near centrioles.
Centromeres appear, hold chromosomes together
Nuclear membrane begins to disappear

Photographs from:

6. Metaphase 2nd step in Mitosis
Chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers.
Chromosomes line up in center of cell

7. Metaphase Plant Cell Animal Cell
Photographs from:

8. Anaphase 3rd step in Mitosis
Centrioles tug on spindle fibers
Chromosomes separate and begin to move to opposite ends of the cell.
Centromeres disappear
Centrioles
Spindle fibers

9. Anaphase Plant Cell Animal Cell
Photographs from:

10. Telophase 4th step in Mitosis
Two new nuclei form.
Spindle fibers and centrioles disappear.
Mitosis ends.

11. Cytokinesis occurs after mitosis
Cytoplasm Divides
Animal Cell - Cell membrane moves inward
Plant Cell – Cell plate moves outward

15. Growth- needed so organisms can Repair- injured tissues
Three reasons why cells
reproduce asexually:
Growth- needed so organisms can
develop
Repair- injured tissues
Replace – worn out cells

16. What type of cells never leave interphase?
Muscle
Nerve

17. Skin cancer - the abnormal growth of skin cells - most often develops on skin exposed to the sun.
How does it develop??
Cells that reproduce by asexual reproduction reproduce constantly.
