CELL CYCLE• Over time, many of the cells die and need to be

replaced. • Mitosis is the process by which a cell reproduces

to create two identical copies. • Cells formed by mitosis are known as daughter

cells. • The cell division process occurs as four different

stages, known collectively as the 'cell cycle'. • Many of the abnormal traits of cancer cells are

due to defects in genes that control cell division.

Happy Thursday! 11/14/13

FIRST TAKE out your CELL CYCLE notes and PRACTICE MITOSIS Sheet (aka Homework!)

BELLWORK QUESTIONS:1) What are the steps of mitosis in order?2) What phase matches this picture?

You have 3 minutes.

Cell Cycle• The cell cycle consists of four stages G0,

Interphase, M-phase, Cytokinesis• G1 and G2 are 'gap' phases in which the cell

grows and prepares to divide. • S in the synthesis phase in which the

chromatin (DNA) is copied (replicated). • M is the mitotic phase in which the cell

physically divides into two daughter cells. • Most cells are NOT actively dividing. These

cells are in a resting state (G).

• Mitosis is a process where cells are produced for growth and/or replacing damaged or old cells

• Mitosis in normal cells produces two cells with identical genetic content.

• Mitosis has four sub-phases:

PROPHASE• Chromosomes condense, the nuclear membrane

breaks down, and spindle fibers form

METAPHASE

• The replicated chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell

ANAPHASE• Chromosomes separate and the cell becomes

elongated, with distinct ends (poles)

TELOPHASE

• Nuclear envelopes re-form at the two poles and new cell membranes begin to form to create two independent cells

CYTOKINESISthe division of the cytoplasm to make two complete daughter cells

• ANIMAL CELLS– Cell membrane pinches apart

into two equal parts with one nucleus in each daughter cell

• PLANT CELLS– Cell plate forms between two

nuclei– Cell plate develops into a cell

wall
