Draw and fill in this concept map at the top of your paper.

Write this under your concept map. Your goal is to know what the first letter of each word really means as it pertains to the cell cycle.
Copy this and the next slide on the bottom half of your paper
Why cell division is IMPORTANT• Without cell division, every living thing
would be ONE CELL BIG
• ALL CELLS COME FROM OTHER CELLS
• Reasons for cell division1. So one celled organisms can make more
2. So multi-celled organisms can grow
3. So multi-celled organisms can replace old cells
4. So multi-celled organisms can heal wounds
The Cell Cycle
• Each cell goes through a series of steps from one division to the next
• The time between divisions or the length of each cycle can be different depending on the organism, the cell type, age
• Divided into interphase, MITOSIS, then cytokinesis
• MITOSIS – process where the nucleus divides to form two identical nuclei
Mitosis Clip
You will need headphones to watch this clip. Click on the title when you are ready. If you cannot watch it at this time, continue with the notes, and I will move you at the end.
Now turn your paper over to the back side and draw a T-chart about half way down the page.
Label the left side as “why it is important” and the right side as “what’s happening”
Copy the notes on the next slides into their appropriate columns.
You may write the title of each slide (the phase name) in the margin if you prefer or just circle it.
Interphase• This is the part of the
cell life cycle when the cell is doing the job it was made to do.– Eukaryotic cells
spend most of their life in this phase
• Cells that cannot divide anymore (muscle and nerve cells) spend their entire lives in interphase
What’s happenin’? • The DNA is in its
chromatin form throughout interphase
• At the end…the cell makes exact copies of the DNA and organelles to prepare for cell division
PROPHASEWhat’s happenin’?
1. the nucleolus and nuclear membrane disintegrate
2. DNA coils up into chromosomes
3. The two chromatids that makeup the chromosome are attached by a sticky protein called centromeres
4. The centrioles move to opposite ends of the cells
5. Spindle fibers stretch across the cell
• Why its importantThis phase prepares the cell
for nuclear and cell division
METAPHASEWhat’s happenin’?
1. The chromosomes line up across the center of the cell
2. They must line up across the midline of the cell so that each chromatid has a direct path toward the centrioles.
• Why it’s important
This phase assures that equal number of chromosomes are divided into each new cells
TELOPHASE• What’s
happenin’?1. The spindle
fibers disappear
2. The nuclear membranes reform around each new nucleus
3. The chromatids are huddling together in the newly forming nuclei
• Why it’s important
This is the phasewhere the new
nuclei form around the chromosomes
Cytokinesis
• NOT A PART OF MITOSIS
• Cyto – cell
• Kinesis – splitting
• This is just where the cytoplasm and cell membrane finish splitting in two.
The results of mitosis
• The cytoplasm and organelles will continue to separate until there are TWO new cells
• Each new human cell (except egg and sperm) has 46 chromosomes which is 23 pairs
• In animals, the cell membranes pinch apart at the end to make new cells
• In plant cells, there is a new cell wall/plate that forms between the new nuclei to make the new cells
• Practice math problem:
Start with one bacteria cell. This bacteria divides every 10 minutes. How many bacteria will you have after 1.5 hours?
Quiz
