  1. Section 3: Cell Division 7.1.e Students know cells divide to increase their numbers through a process of mitosis, which results in two daughter cells with identical sets of chromosomes. 7.2.e Students know DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material of living organisms and is located in the chromosomes of each cell.

  2. Cell cycle- the growth and division that cells go through • Replication- when the cell makes an exact copy of the DNA in its nucleus • DNA holds all the information that the cell needs to carry out its functions • Replication is important because each daughter cell needs a complete set of DNA to survive • At the end of DNA replication the cell has two identical sets of DNA • At the end of interphase the cell is ready to divide Stage 1 : Interphase

  3. The Cell Cycle

  4. Stage 1: Interphase

  5. Chromosomes- a double rod structure that has chromatin • Each chromosome has two identical chromatid rods • The chromatids are held together with a centromere • As the cell goes through metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, the chromatids separate from each other, move to opposite sides, and two new nuclear envelopes form around the new chromosomes at the ends of the cell Stage 2: Mitosis

  6. A Mitosis: Prophase Chromatin in the nucleus condenses to form chromosomes. The pairs of centrioles move to opposite sides of the nucleus. Spindle fibers form a bridge between the ends of the cell. The nuclear envelope breaks down. D Mitosis Telophase The chromosomes begin to stretch out and lose their rodlike appearance. A new nuclear envelope forms around each region of chromosomes. B Mitosis: Metaphase The chromosomes line up across the center of the cell. Each chromosome attaches to a spindle fiber at its centromere. C Mitosis: Anaphase The centromeres split. The two chromatids separate. One chromatid is drawn by its spindle fiber to one end of the cell. The other chromatid moves to the opposite end. The cell stretches out as the opposite ends are pushed apart. 2 Mitosis

  7. Cytokinesis starts at about the same time as Telophase • When cytokinesis is complete, two new daughter cells have been formed Stage 3: Cytokinesis

  8. Animal Cell Plant Cell Cannot pinch off, a cell plate forms across the middle and new cell walls form around the two cells Cell membrane squeezes together around the middle and pinches into two cells

  9. 3 Cytokinesis

  10. Reading Graphs: • How long does it take for a cell to go through one cell cycle? • It all depends on the cell. A human liver cell, for example, completes one cell cycle in about 22 hours, as shown in the graph. Length of the Cell Cycle

  11. The longest curved arrow represents the cell’s interphase; the shortest represents cytokinesis; and the middle one represents mitosis. Reading Graphs: What do the three curved arrows outside the circle represent? Length of the Cell Cycle

  12. Interphase Reading Graphs: In what stage of the cell cycle is the wedge representing growth? Length of the Cell Cycle

  13. Interphase Reading Graphs: In what stage of the cell cycle is the wedge representing growth? Length of the Cell Cycle

  14. 10 hours Interpreting Data: In human liver cells, how long does it take DNA replication to occur? Length of the Cell Cycle

  15. Interphase Drawing Conclusions: In human liver cells, what stage in the cell cycle takes the longest time? Length of the Cell Cycle

  16. DNA Replication makes sure each daughter cell has the genetic information it needs to carry out its activities • Each rung of the ladder is made up of a pair of molecules called nitrogen bases • DNA molecule is shaped like a twisted ladder • DNA has 4 nitrogen bases: Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine. • Adenine always pairs with Thymine and Guanine always pairs with Cytosine. Structure and Replication of DNA

  17. Replication begins with unzipping the DNA molecule • Nitrogen bases floating in the nucleus pair up with each half of the DNA molecule • Key Concept: Because of the way in which the nitrogen bases pair up, the order of the bases in each new DNA molecule matches the order of the original DNA molecule. Structure and Replication of DNA

  18. What events take place during the three states of the cell cycle? • How does the structure of DNA help account for the way in which DNA copies itself? Section 3: Cell Division
