1. 1 1 Asexual Reproduction (Mitosis) Mitosis is the process in which the nucleus divides to form two new nuclei. How does mitosis differ in plants and animals?

2. 2 2 Asexual Reproduction (Mitosis) Let’s break it apart and ANALYZE IT!! (break apart, study the pieces)

3. How do little elephants grow up to be BIG elephants?

5. For animals, the process of asexual reproduction begins after a sperm fertilizes an egg.

6. Skin cancer - the abnormal growth of skin cells - most often develops on skin exposed to the sun. Cell that reproduce by asexual reproduction reproduce constantly.

7. Animated Mitosis Cycle http://www.cellsalive.com/mitosis.htm Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase & Cytokinesis

8. Chromosomes are copied (# doubles) Chromosomes appear as threadlike coils ( chromatin ) at the start, but each chromosome and its copy( sister chromosome) change to sister chromatids at end of this phase CELL MEMBRANE Nucleus Cytoplasm

9. Animal Cell Plant Cell

10. Mitosis begins (cell begins to divide) Centrioles (or poles) appear and begin to move to opposite end of the cell. Spindle fibers form between the poles. Centrioles Sister chromatids Spindle fibers

11. Animal Cell Plant Cell Spindle fibers Centrioles

12. Chromatids (or pairs of chromosomes) line up at the center of the cell (equator) and attach to spindle fibers. Centrioles Spindle fibers

14. Chromatids (or pairs of chromosomes) separate and begin to move to opposite ends of the cell. Centrioles Spindle fibers

16. Two new nuclei form. Chromosomes appear as chromatin (threads rather than rods). Mitosis ends. Nuclei Chromatin

18. Cell membrane moves inward to create two daughter cells – each with its own nucleus with identical chromosomes.
