Cell Division Chapter 2 Lesson 3
Why Do Cells Divide? • Cells divide for three reasons • Growth • Adding new cells to get bigger • Repair • Fixing broken cells • Maintenance • Replacing old cells • Some cells divide to reproduce • Unicellular organisms • Plant structures can break away and become a new plant
The Cell Cycle • Regular sequence of growth and division in cells • Life cycle of the Cell has three parts • Interphase • Growth before cell division • Mitosis • Division of the Nucleus • Cytokinesis • Division of the cytoplasm
Interphase • Where a cell spends most of its life • G1-Growth • Grows to its full size and produces organelles • S-Synthesis (Replication) • DNA (chromatin) is copied • Chromatin-uncoiled DNA in the nucleus • G2-Preparation for Division • Cell produces structures that will help it divide
Mitosis-Prophase • Longest phase of mitosis • Chromosomes form • Chromosomes-rod-like structures formed from DNA and proteins • Nuclear envelope disappears
Mitosis-Metaphase • Spindle fibers attach to centromere • Holds chromatids together • Chromosomes are lined up at metaphase plate
Mitosis-Anaphase • Sister chromatids are pulled to opposite sides of the cell • Chromatids-exact copies of DNA attached at centromere
Mitosis-Telophase • Nuclear envelope reforms • Chromosomes uncoil • Happens simultaneously with cytokinesis
Cytokinesis in Plant and Animal Cells • Cytokinesis • Division of the CYTOPLASM • Animal Cells • Form a cleavage furrow and cytoplasm pinches to form two daughter cells • Plant Cells • Form a cell plate which breaks to form two daughter cells
