The Cell Cycle

This article discusses the order of cell organization, from cells to tissues, organs, organ systems, and organisms. It explores the different phases of the cell cycle, including interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis. The article also explains the processes that occur in each phase and provides examples of cell division in both animal and plant cells.

  1. The Cell Cycle

  2. Order of cell organization……… Cell  Tissue  Organ  Organ System  Organism **Cells must divide and create many cells in order for this process to occur

  3. The Cell Cycle  Interphase, Mitosis and Cytokinesis Interphase (G1, S and G2) G1 – (Organelles Duplicate) S – DNA synthesizes (also called duplicates or replicates) G2 – (Cell prepares to divide)

  4. The Cell Cycle**Interphase Organelles replicate, DNA synthesizes and cell prepares to divide** Mitosisis Asexual Reproduction Divides Nucleus**Cytokinesis Divides Cytoplasm

  5. Interphase – Prepares for Mitosis ** Majority of time for a cell is in this phase ** Cell grows ** Organelles duplicated (G1) **DNA synthesizes (S) ** Only chromatin (uncoiled chromosomes) visible

  6. Chromosomes Duplicate In the S Phase of Interphase • Carriers of genes • Some genes carry the “instructions” for protein production • Remember, chromosomes are duplicated during the S phase of Interphase prior to mitosis! • You have 46 total chromosomes in the nucleus of most of your cells!!

  7. **Nuclear Division Called Mitosis

  8. After Interphase **Four phases of mitosis (cell division) are: **Prophase **Metaphase **Anaphase **Telophase **Recall Mitosis Divides the nucleus, Cytokinesis Divides the Cytoplasm

  9. Prophase ** Duplicated chromosomes become visible ** A spindle, football shape structure that contains many fibers, moves to opposite poles

  10. Metaphase **Chromosomes line up in the MIDDLE of the cell ) its equator) **Each chromatid is attached to a separate spindle fiber by its centromere (in the middle!!)

  11. Anaphase ** Centromeres split pulling apart sister chromatids. ** Chromatids move to opposite poles

  12. Telophase Animal Cell ** Chromosomes uncoil back into chromatin ** Two nuclei appear ** In animals a cleavage furrow forms (plants have a cell plate) ** In plants a cell plate forms between the 2 cells

  13. Cytokinesis – Division of Cytoplasm ** Two new identical daughter cells after

  14. Mitosis at a Glance– Cell Division

  15. Cytokinesis in an Animal Cell ONLY in animal cells

  16. Cytokinesisin a Plant Cell Only in Plants Only in Plants

  17. Onion Root Tip – Can You Find the Stages of Mitosis

  18. Mitosis in Real Time

  19. Modeling Mitosis

  20. Really Cool Animation

  21. Cell Cycle in Prokaryotes (Bacteria) **NO TRUE NUCLEUS!!! DNA replicates and the plasma membrane just pinches inward to form two new cells.
