Need of the cell division • For growth and development of the organism • To replace worn out cells & tissues • To make offspring

Cell division includes nuclear and cytoplamic division • Nuclear division Karyokinesis • Cytoplasmic division Cytokinesis
Life cycle of the dividing cell: Cell cycle • Eukaryotic cells passes a sequence of events from a new cell until it reproduce daughter cells; the cell cycle. • How often a cell divides depends on the type of cell • Cells in root of hair, Gut cells, bone marrow cells divide rapidly • Mature muscle cells or neurons do not divide
Components of the cell cycle s Resting cell G-0 Signal G-1 Initiation of cell division / First Gap S DNA replication G2 Preparation for mitosis / Rechecking M Mitosis / movement of replicated DNA
Components of cell cycle cont.. Interval between two mitoses is called interphase G1 & G2 are Gaps
Interphase • The cell may spend as much as 90 percent of the cell cycle in interphase • The ell perform its normal cellular functions during this phase • Between Gaps (G1 & G2) DNA replicates
Timing • Typical cell cycle usually lasts for 10 to 20 hours. • The S phase takes about 3 to 6 hours • G2 phase is shorter than S phase.
Mitotic phase Replicated DNA (chromosomes) are separated during mitosis and distributed into daughter cells that form through cytokinesis.
Mitosis The event in the cell cycle that separates replicated chromosomes (sister chromatids) into two new cells (daughter cells) Chromosomes Chromatids / Sister chromatids
Mitosis has 4 stages in which nuclear events are visible light microscopically • Prophase • Metaphase • Anaphase • Telophase
Prophase • Characterized by formation of Spindle • Mitotic spindle: Composed of microtubules Formed by centrioles • Chromosomes become visible and later chromatids appears and held together by centromeres • Nuclear membrane disintegrates
Metaphase • Chromosomes moves to the equator of the cell and form Metaphase plate
Anaphase • Sister chromatids moves towards the opposite poles of the spindle
Telophase • Chromatids becomes chromosomes and then chromatin • Nuclear envelop re-forms • Cytokinesis occur

Reduction of genetic materials and formation of gametes; a whole mark in sexual reproduction
Meiosis • Type of cell division in Eukaryotes that makes gametes • Similar to mitosis but diploid cells become haploid (sperm (n), Ovum (n)) • Has two divisions: • Meiosis I • Interphase (DNA replicates) • Prophase I • Metaphase I • Anaphase I • Telophase I • Meiosis II • Interphase (No DNA replication) • Prophase II • Metaphase II • Anaphase II • Telophase II
Meiotic division 1 • During interphase DNA replicates (4n) • Homologous chromosomes stay together in prophase I (cross over / recombination occurs) • Homologous chromosome pairs align in equatorial plane during metaphase I • Each homologous chromosome moves to opposite pole randomly during anaphase • Cytokinesis completes giving rise to haploid cells
Cross over/ Recombination of parts of chromosomes in prophase I Chiasma synaptonemal complex
Assortments of Chromosomes in metaphase I • Independent assortment of chromosomes during Metaphase I leads to mixing of genetic materials (genetic diversity) inherited from two parents
Uncontrolled cell division:Tumors • Cells in a cancerous tumor reproduce at an abnormally fast rate and become irregular in appearance. • When individual cells metastasize (travel from the original tumor), the cancer can spread.
