Cell Reproduction

This resource explores the fundamental differences in cell reproduction between prokaryotes (like bacteria) and eukaryotes (plants and animals). Prokaryotes reproduce via binary fission, a simple process that allows for quick replication. In contrast, eukaryotes undergo a more complex mitotic division involving several distinct phases: G1, S, G2, and M phases, resulting in two daughter cells. Key steps in mitosis are highlighted, including prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, along with cytokinesis, showcasing the efficient and structured nature of eukaryotic cell division.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Cell Reproduction • Prokaryotes Bacteria • Eukaryotes Plants & animals

  2. Prokaryotes • Lack a nucleus • Have a single chromosome • Reproduce by binary fission • Include bacteria

  3. Steps in Binary Fission • Used by bacteria • Cells increase their cell mass slightly • DNA & cell components are replicated • Each cell divides into 2 daughter cells

  4. Binary Fission of Bacterial Cell

  5. E. Coli Dividing by Binary Fission

  6. Eukaryotes • Contain a nucleus & membrane bound organelles • Asexually reproduce cells by mitosis

  7. Cell Cycle • Stages in growth & division • G1 Phase • S Phase • G2 Phase • M Phase • Cytokinesis

  8. G1 Phase • First growth stage • Cell increases in size • Cell prepares to copy its DNA

  9. Synthesis Phase • Copying of all of DNA’s instructions • Chromosomes duplicated

  10. G2 Phase • Time between DNA synthesis & mitosis • Cell continues growing • Needed proteins produced

  11. M Phase • Cell growth & protein production stop • Cell’s energy used to make 2 daughter cells • Called mitosis or karyokinesis (nuclear division)

  12. Life Cycle of a Cell Mitosis is a cycle with no beginning or end.

  13. Interphase – Resting Stage • Cells carrying on normal activities • Chromosomes aren’t visible • Cell metabolism is occurring • Occurs before mitosis

  14. Interphase

  15. Stages of Mitosis • Prophase • Metaphase • Anaphase • Telophase

  16. Cells Undergoing Mitosis

  17. Steps in Prophase • DNA coils tightly & becomes visible as chromosomes • Nuclear membrane disappears • Nuceolus disappears • Centrioles migrate to poles • Spindle begins to form

  18. Prophase

  19. Eukaryotic Chromosome

  20. Human Chromosomes

  21. Steps in Metaphase • Spindle fibers from centrioles attach to each chromosome • Cell preparing to separate its chromosomes • Cell aligns its chromosomes in the middle of the cell

  22. Metaphase

  23. Steps in Anaphase • Cell chromosomes are separated • Spindle fibers shorten so chromosomes pulled to ends of cell

  24. Mitotic Spindle

  25. Anaphase

  26. Steps in Telophase • Separation of chromosomes completed • Cell Plate forms (plants) • Cleavage furrow forms(animals) • Nucleus & nucleolus reform • Chromosomes uncoil

  27. Telophase Plant Animal

  28. Cytokinesis • Occurs after chromosomes separate • Forms two, identical daughter cells

  29. Cytokinesis Cell Plate Forming in Plant Cells
