Cell Cycle
http://www.bmb.psu.edu/courses/biotc489/notes/cycle.jpg
Mitosis• One type of cell division
Cell process in which the nucleus divides to form two nuclei identical to
each other, and identical to the original nucleus, in a series of steps
(prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase)
Interphase
• Period of growth & development• Hereditary information (DNA)
copied (replicated / duplicated)• Cells that do not divide (nerves)
are always in interphase
http://biotech-adventure.okstate.edu/low/basics/mitosis/phases/interphase/interphase.gif
Prophase
•DNA begins to shorten & thicken –Now called chromatids / chromosomes
•Centromeres form•Nuclear membrane breaks apart•Spindle fibers form

http://biotech-adventure.okstate.edu/low/basics/mitosis/phases/metaphase/metaphase.gif
Anaphase
•Centromeres divide•Spindle fibers shorten•Chromatid pairs separate – move to ends of cell•Chromatids are now called
–Each ½ of the pair is now called a chromosome

Telophase
•Spindle fibers disappear •Chromosomes uncoil•Nuclear membrane forms•Cell divides (cytokinesis)

Results of Mitosis
• Division of nucleus– Nuclei are identical to each other
•Same number & type of chromosomes
Asexual Reproduction
A type of reproduction - fission, budding, and regeneration - in
which a new organism is produced from one parent and has DNA
identical to the parent organism.
Asexual Reproduction
•Offspring produced from one organism
•Hereditary information is identical
•Mitosis is one form of asexual reproduction
Sexual Reproduction
A type of reproduction in which two sex cells, usually an egg and a sperm, join to form a zygote, which will develop into a new
organism with a unique identity.

Metaphase I
•Copied chromatids / chromosomes line up in middle of cell
•Centromeres attach to spindle fibers

Metaphase II
•Duplicated chromatid / chromosomes line up in middle of cell
•Spindle fibers attach to centromeres
Anaphase II
•Centromere divides –Chromatids separate & move to ends of cell•Chromatids are now individual chromosomes
Telophase II
•Spindle fibers disappear•Nuclear membranes form at
each end of cell•Cells divide
–Results in 4 cells •Each with ½ the original number of chromosomes
