1. Lesson Overview Lesson Overview The Process of Cell Division Cell Division

2. Lesson Overview Lesson Overview The Process of Cell Division Chromosomes Chromosomes make it possible to separate DNA during cell division. genetic information is carried by chromosomes.

3. Lesson Overview Lesson Overview The Process of Cell Division The Cell Cycle During the cell cycle, a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form two daughter cells.

4. Lesson Overview Lesson Overview The Process of Cell Division Divide by Binary Fission The Prokaryotic Cell Cycle

5. Lesson Overview Lesson Overview The Process of Cell Division The Eukaryotic Cell Cycle The eukaryotic cell cycle has four phases: G1, S, G2, and M. Interphase is the time between cell divisions. G1, S and G2 M phase is the period of cell division.

6. Lesson Overview Lesson Overview The Process of Cell Division G 1 Phase: Cell Growth Cells grow Make new proteins and organelles.

7. Lesson Overview Lesson Overview The Process of Cell Division S Phase: DNA Replication New DNA is made

8. Lesson Overview Lesson Overview The Process of Cell Division G 2 Phase: Preparing for Cell Division organelles and molecules required for cell division are produced.

9. Lesson Overview Lesson Overview The Process of Cell Division M Phase: Cell Division 2 stages: mitosis and cytokinesis. Mitosis is the division of the cell nucleus. Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm.
