  1. The Cell Cycle

  2. When do cells divide? • Reproduction • Replacement of damaged cells • Growth of new cells • In replacement and growth cell divisions how should daughter cells compare to parent cell? • The daughter cells should be identical copies of the parent cell.

  3. How can identical daughter cells form? • The chromosomes must be copied and then divided such that each daughter cell gets one of the copies.

  4. Important terms in eukaryotic cell division • Chromosome =

  5. Important terms in eukaryotic cell division • Chromosome = threadlike structures that are composed of DNA + protein • replication =

  6. Important terms in eukaryotic cell division • Chromosome = threadlike structures that are composed of DNA + protein • mitosis =

  7. Important terms in eukaryotic cell division • Chromosome = threadlike structures that are composed of DNA + protein • mitosis = division of the nucleus • cytokinesis =

  8. Important terms in eukaryotic cell division • Chromosome = threadlike structures that are composed of DNA + protein • mitosis = division of the nucleus • cytokinesis = division of the cytoplasm

  9. Chromatid =

  10. Chromatid = after copying the chromosome consists of 2 sister chromatids joined at the centromere. • Centromere =

  11. Chromatid = after replication the chromosome consists of 2 sister chromatids joined at the centromere. • Centromere = special region of the chromosome, where chromatids are joined.

  12. The Cell Cycle

  13. Interphase • 90% of cell cycle is spent in this phase • Chromosome copying (replication) occurs here

  14. Interphase in animal cells: • Nuclear envelope is visible • nucleoli are present • Centrioles are near nucleus • asters form around each pair of centrioles • chromosomes are loosely packed (chromatin), not visible w/microscope

  15. General Overview of Mitosis

  16. Prophase: • In the Nucleus: • Nucleoli disappear • chromosomes condense –become visible • each chromosome consists of 2 sister chromatids joined at the centromere

  17. In the Cytoplasm: • spindle begins to form – these will be tracks for chromosome movement • Nuclear envelope breaks apart

  18. Metaphase • Chromosomes move to the middle of cell and line up • Each sister chromatid is attached to a spindle fiber

  19. Anaphase • Centromeres divide sister chromatids are separated • the cell is stretched into an oval shape

  20. Telophase • new nuclear envelopes are formed around the chromosomes at each end of the cell • nucleoli reappear • chromosomes uncoil into chromatin fiber • last phase of mitosis

  21. Cytokinesis • Begins before telophase has completed
