Presentation Transcript

  1. KEY CONCEPT Cells divide during mitosis and cytokinesis.

  2. DNA andhistones SupercoiledDNA DNA doublehelix Chromatin Chromosomes condense at the start of mitosis. • DNA wraps around proteins (histones) that condense it.

  3. chromatid telomere centromere telomere Condensed, duplicated chromosome • DNA plus proteins is called chromatin. • One half of a duplicated chromosome is a chromatid. • Sister chromatids are held together at the centromere. • Telomeres protect DNA and do not include genes.

  4. Parent cell centrioles spindle fibers centrosome nucleus with DNA Mitosis and cytokinesis produce two genetically identical daughter cells. • Interphase prepares the cell to divide. • During interphase, the DNA is duplicated.

  5. During prophase, chromosomes condense and spindle fibers form. • Mitosis divides the cell’s nucleus in four phases.

  6. During metaphase, chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. • Mitosis divides the cell’s nucleus in four phases.

  7. During anaphase, sister chromatids separate to opposite sides of the cell. • Mitosis divides the cell’s nucleus in four phases.

  8. Mitosis divides the cell’s nucleus in four phases. • During telophase, the new nuclei form and chromosomes begin to uncoil.

  9. In animal cells, the membrane pinches closed. • In plant cells, a cell plate forms. • Cytokinesis differs in animal and plant cells.
