  1. The Cell Cycle Overview of the Cell Cycle - Simplified Overview of the Cell Cycle - Detailed

  2. Cells come from pre-existing cells Three things are required for a cell to be able to reproduce: • DNA Replication – “Copying the Instruction Manual” • Nuclear division – “Division of the Nucleus” (Mitosis) • Cell division – “Dividing the materials of the cell” (Cytokinesis)

  3. DNA Replication

  4. Packaging DNA for Nuclear Division (Mitosis) “The Package” – The Chromosome Key Components Sister chromatids Centromere

  5. Nuclear Division - Mitosis Mitosis Rap Mitosis Song Terms to know: Centrosome Chromatin Chromosome Sister Chromatid Spindle Microtubules Centromere Kinetochore Daughter Chromosomes

  6. Metaphase Anaphase Prometaphase Telophase & Prophase Cytokinesis Go G2 The Cell Cycle S G1

  7. prometaphase / late prophase interphase prophase anaphase metaphase telophase

  8. A quick overview of cell division The genetic information of plants, animals and other eukaryotic organisms resides in several (or many) individual DNA molecules, or chromosomes. For example, each human cell possesses 46 chromosomes, while each cell of an onion possesses 8 chromosomes. All cells must replicate their DNA when dividing. During DNA replication, the two strands of the DNA double helix separate, and for each original strand a new complementary strand is produced, yielding two identical DNA molecules. DNA replication yields an identical pair of DNA molecules (called sister chromatids) attached at a region called the centromere. Sister Chromatids

  9. Stages of Mitosis • Prophase. During prophase, the chromosomes supercoil and the fibers of the spindle apparatus begin to form between centrosomes located at the pole of the cells. The nuclear membrane also disintegrates at this time, freeing the chromosomes into the surrounding cytoplasm. • Prometaphase. During prometaphase, some of the fibers attach to the centromere of each pair of sister chromatids and they begin to move toward the center of the cell. • Metaphase. At metaphase the chromosomes have come to rest along the center plane of the cell. • Anaphase. During anaphase, the centromeres split and the sister chromatids begin to migrate toward the opposite poles of the cell. • Telophase. During telophase, the chromosomes at either end of the cell cluster begin to cluster together, which facilitates the formation of a new nuclear membrane. • This also is when cytokinesis occurs, leading to two separate cells. One way to identify that telophase has begun is by looking for the formation of the cell plate, the new cell wall forming between the two cells

  10. Mitosis

  11. Count the number of cells in each stage

  12. Time for Mitosis Number of cells in each stage divided the total number of cell counted times 100 = percent time spent in each stage. Multiple the percent time 24. That will give you the number pie sections to fill in. 1/24 of the pie

  13. Time for Mitosis • Interphase • Prophase • Prometaphase • Metaphase • Anaphase • Telophase • Cytokinesis
