1. Cell growth, Division and Reproduction

2. Cell Division Produces 2 daughter cell Asexual Reproduction – produces genetically identical offspring from a single parent. – Binary fission in prokaryotic cells – Mitosis in eukaryotic cells Sexual Reproduction – offspring produced by reproductive cells of 2 parents. – Meiosis – inherit genetic information from each parent

3. Chromosomes

4. Binary Fission

5. Cell Cycle – Eukaryote

6. Mitosis Division of the nucleus Asexual reproduction Body cells – somatic cells 4 phases – Prophase – Metaphase – Anaphase – Telophase

7. Interphase Growth, DNA synthesis Prep for Mitosis Chromatin material, no chromosomes

8. Prophase Longest phase Genetic material condenses Chromosomes visible Nuclear envelope disappears Spindles forming

9. Metaphase Centromeres of chromosome line up across center of cell Spindle fibers connect centromere of chromosome to 2 poles of cell

10. Anaphase Sister chromatids separate and begin to move apart. Each chromatid is not considered a chromosome.

11. Telophase Chromosomes uncoil, nuclear envelope reappears, spindle begins to break apart, nucleolus visible. Cell division complete

12. Cytokinesis All that is left is to split the cytoplasm, usually occurs same time as telophase. Cell is split into 2 Animal cell has actin filament that draws in membrane, plant cell produces cell plate
