MITOSIS

Mitosis and the Cell Cycle

Sexual reproduction – combining genetic info from 2 organisms of the same species to create offspring

Asexual reproduction – offspring arises from single parent.

How do little elephants grow up to be BIG elephants?

Why do animals shed their skin?

Three reasons why cells reproduce by asexual reproduction:

1. Growth 2. Repair 3. Replacement

Skin cancer - the abnormal growth of skin cells - most often develops on skin exposed to the sun.

The Cell CycleThe sequence of growth and

division of a cell.95% of cell cycle

in interphase5% of cell cycle

in mitosis

Interphase, mitosis, cytokinesis

Interphase

Growth Stage 1 (G1) – metabolic activity of the cell

Synthesis Stage (S) – metabolic activity of the cell, replication of DNA

Growth Stage 2 (G2) – metabolic activity of the cell, prepare for division

Interphase Normal cell life functions

MITOSIS is the process of the nucleus of the cell duplicating and dividing

There are

four phases

of mitosis.

PROPHASE METAPHASE ANAPHASE TELOPHASE

Prophase (DNA has already copied itself) Nuclear membrane fades Chromosomes condense – can see

sister chromatids

and centromere Spindle forms Centrioles start to move

to opposite poles

Spindle fibers

Centrioles

Metaphase

Chromosomes line up along the equator (middle) of the cell

Each chromatid is attached to spindle with centromere

Metaphase

Anaphase

Centromeres divideSister chromatids are pulled

apart to opposite poles of the cell

Each chromatid is now a separate chromosome

Anaphase

Telophase

Spindle fibers dissolveChromosomes reach the

opposite poles and begin to uncoil (lengthen)

Nuclear envelopes (2) reform

Cytoplasm dividesTwo new daughter cells are

now separate
