  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? 1

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

  3. Why do animals shed their skin?

  4. The process of asexual reproduction begins after a sperm fertilizes an egg.

  5. Three reasons why cells reproduce by asexual reproduction: 1. Growth 2. Repair 3. Replacement 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.

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

  7. Interphaseoccurs before mitosis begins • 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. Prophase 1st step in Mitosis • 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. Metaphase 2nd step in Mitosis • Chromatids (or pairs of chromosomes) attach to the spindle fibers. Centrioles Spindle fibers

  13. Anaphase 3rdstep in Mitosis • Chromatids (or pairs of chromosomes) separate and begin to move to opposite ends of the cell. Centrioles Spindle fibers

  15. Telophase4th step in Mitosis • Two new nuclei form. • Chromosomes appear as chromatin (threads rather than rods). • Mitosis ends. Nuclei Nuclei Chromatin

  17. Cytokinesisoccurs after mitosis • Cell membrane moves inward to create two daughter cells – each with its own nucleus with identical chromosomes.
