  1. The Cell Cycle A Review

  2. What is the Cell Cycle? • The time and activities that take place from one cell division to the next • Or • From cell “birth” to cell “death” • Alternation between Interphase and Mitosis

  3. A look at the cell cycle

  4. Components • Interphase (G1, S, G2) and Mitosis (M) • Gap 1: birth to DNA replication • Synthesis: DNA duplication • Gap 2: gap before mitosis • Mitosis: nuclear division (followed by cytokinesis)

  5. Mitosis: The steps • Prophase • Prometaphase* • Metaphase • Anaphase • Telophase • Cytokinesis* *extensions from the “PMAT” skeleton of mitosis

  6. Prophase • Chromatincondenses into Chromosomes • Sister chromatids attached at centromere • Nuclear envelope still present

  7. Prometaphase • Nuclear envelope disappears • Sister chromatids clearly visible and attach to spindle via kinetochore

  8. Metaphase • Chromosomes align at metaphase plate • Homologous pairs align SEPARATELY

  9. Anaphase • Sister chromatids sever at centromere • V-shaped chromatids • Movement toward opposite poles

  10. Telophase • Two visible sets of chromosomes • Nuclear envelope reforms

  11. Cytokinesis • Cell division: cytoplasm divides • Formation of new cell membrane • Cytokinesis vs. Interphase: • Chromosomes still visible

  12. Textbook Reference Materials • Chapter 4 second Edition • Title: The Chromosome Theory of Inheritance

  13. Glossary • Chromatin: undifferentiated mass of thread-like DNA/protein in cell nucleus during interphase • Chromosomes: self-replicating structures in cells; contains DNA; visible during Prophase of mitosis

  14. Glossary cont. • Sister chromatids: duplicated IDENTICAL chromosomes attached at centromere after Synthesis • Centromere: condensed region of a chromosome • Kinetochore: protein structure at centromere that acts as molecular “motor for chromatids

  15. Glossary Cont. • Metaphase plate: imaginary equatorial line midway between cell poles
