  1. Cell Division Mitosis & Meiosis

  2. Cell Division What is it? Why do Cells do it? Why is it important to me?

  3. Cell division AKA Mitosis takes place in regular body cells (somatic cells) • Purpose is growth and repair • In which cells does mitosis NOT occur? Gametes AKA sex cells!

  4. Phases of Mitosis

  5. Mitosis • The Basic Phases of a Cell’s Life: • Interphase • Prophase • Metaphase • Anaphase • Telophase • Cytokinesis

  6. Interphase The longest stage of a Cell’s life The time spent between divisions Produces all materials required for growth Preparation for division

  7. Part of Interphase is also known as the G1 Phase of the Cell Cycle (Growth Phase)

  8. The Second part of Interphase is known as the S Phase of the Cell Cycle (Synthesis Phase – when DNA duplicates)

  9. Chromosome Structure

  10. The third part of the Cell Cycle, G2, is just a checkpoint to make sure the DNA is correct. Next step – Mitosis

  11. Mitosis: Cell Division The last part of the Cell Cycle is called Mitosis and has 4 phases during which the cell divides into 2 cells

  12. Prophase • The Cell begins the division process • The nucleolus disappears, • The nuclear membrane breaks apart

  13. 3.The chromosomes become visible 4. The spindle apparatus forms and attaches to the centromeres of the chromosomes

  14. Metaphase • The Second Phase of Mitosis • The Nuclear Membrane is completely gone • 2. The duplicated chromosomes line up along the cell's equator.

  15. Anaphase The third phase of Mitosis Diploid sets of daughter chromosomes separate They are pushed and pulled toward opposite poles of the cell by the spindle fibers

  16. Spindle Fibers

  17. Telophase The nuclear membrane and nucleoli (nucleus) reform. Cytokinesis is nearly complete,

  18. The Cell Plate begins to form The Cell prepares for finial division

  19. Cytokinesis – The final stage of Mitosis The cytoplasm, organelles, and nuclear material are evenly split and two new cells are formed. Cell Plate

  20. The two new cells – each exactly like the other – are called Daughter Cells

  21. Quick Review – Place Cells in Mitosis Order A B C D E

  22. Interphase Quick Review: Identify What happens in each phase of Mitosis: Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase
