  1. Cells and Growth

  2. When do cells divide? • Replacement • Repair • Growth

  3. The Cell Cycle What is it? It is the life cycle of cell

  4. The Cell Cycle Composed of 2 main division: Interphase Mitosis

  5. Interphase – Resting Stage • Cells carrying on normal activities • Chromosomes aren’t visible – DNA is in the form of chromatin • Cell metabolism is occurring • Occurs before mitosis

  6. Chromatin vs Chromosomes ? Chromatin – long strands (strings) of DNA Chromosomes – the chromatin strands all condensed (scrunched) together into distinct pieces

  7. G1 Phase • GAP 1 • First growth stage • Cell increases in size • Cell prepares to copy its DNA

  8. Synthesis Phase • Copying (synthesizing)of all of DNA’s instructions • Chromatin duplicated

  9. G2 Phase • GAP 2 • Time between DNA synthesis & mitosis • Cell continues growing • Needed proteins produced

  10. Interphase

  11. M Phase • Cell growth & protein production stop • Cell’s energy used to make 2 daughter cells • Called mitosis

  12. Stages of Mitosis • Prophase • Metaphase • Anaphase • Telophase

  13. Prophase • Nuclear envelope disappears • Centrioles move to opposite poles • Spindle fibers start to form • Chromosomes condense

  14. Metaphase • Chromosomes line up on the equator of the cell • Spindle fibers attached to the centromeres

  15. Anaphase • Chromosomes split • Spindle fibers pull chromosomes apart

  16. Telophase • Cell divides • Spindle fibers disintegrate • Nuclear envelopes re-form around 2 sets of chromosomes

  17. Cytokinesis • Organelles get divided up into 2 daughter cells • Plant cells--a new cell wall made of cellulose forms between the two cells • Animal cells--fibers pinch the cell in two

  18. Summary of Mitosis • Prophase: • Chromosomes condense • Nuclear envelope disappears • centrioles move to opposite sides of the cell • Spindle forms and attaches to centromeres • Metaphase • Chromosomes line up on equator of spindle

  19. Anaphase • Centromeres divide • Chromosomes pulled to opposite poles by the spindle • Telophase • Chromosomes de-condense • Nuclear envelope reappears • Cytokinesis: the cytoplasm is divided into 2 cells

  20. Mitosis: Can you name the stages? 1 2 3 4 5

  21. Mitosis: Can you name the stages? Prophase 2 3 4 5

  22. Mitosis: Can you name the stages? Prophase Metaphase 3 4 5

  23. Mitosis: Can you name the stages? Prophase Metaphase Anaphase 4 5

  24. Mitosis: Can you name the stages? Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase 5

  25. Mitosis: Can you name the stages? Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Cytokinesis
