The Cell Cycle & Cell Division. Most cells in an organism go through a cycle of growth, development, and division called the cell cycle. The cell cycle allows organisms : to grow and develop replace old or damaged cells produce new cells. The Cell Cycle.

  1. The Cell Cycle & Cell Division

  2. Most cells in an organism go through a cycle of growth, development, and division called the cell cycle. • The cell cycle allows organisms : • to grow and develop • replace old or damaged cells • produce new cells. The Cell Cycle

  3. There are two main phases of the cell cycle: • Interphase • Mitotic phase Phases Of The Cell Cycle

  4. Interphase is a period of growth and development for a cell. • It makes up most of the cell cycle • During interphase, The DNA of the cell is called chromatin Interphase

  5. During interphase, cells go through three stages: 1. Rapid growth and replication of the organelles. (G1 stage) Interphase

  6. 2. Replication of DNA . (S stage) • The cell replicates its strands of chromatin • Sister chromatids are the two identical strands of DNA that make up the duplicated chromosome. • They are held together by a structure called a centromere. Interphase

  7. 3. Growth and final preparation for cell division (G2 Stage Interphase

  8. Mitosis- The process of cell division that results in 2 identical cells(daughter cells) with the same number of chromosomes. • Only happens in body cells • Sub-stages of Mitosis: • Prophase • Metaphase • Anaphase • Telophase • Cytokinesis Mitotic Phase

  9. Duplicated DNA condenses into chromosomes Prophase

  10. Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell Metaphase

  11. Sister chromatids in each duplicated chromosome separate and are pulled in opposite directions by the spindle fibers Anaphase

  12. Chromosomes begin to uncoil, and 2 new identical nuclei form Telophase

  13. Cytokinesis divides a cell’s cytoplasm forming a new cell membrane around each daughter cell. • In animal cells , a furrow in the middle of the cell gets deeper until the cell membrane comes together to divide the cell. Cytokinesis

  14. In plants, a cell plate grows outward toward a new cell wall until 2 new cells form Cytokinesis

  15. The cell cycle is important for : • for reproduction in some organisms • growth in multi-cellular organisms • replacement of worn-out or damaged cells • Repair of damaged tissues
