The Cell Cycle and Mitosis
Biology
About 2 trillion cells are produced by you every dayPer second? About 25 million
Egg/Sperm “Zygote” Embryo Fetus Baby
“Cell Division”“Cell Reproduction”
THE CELL CYCLE
= sequence of growth and division- Interphase- Mitosis
2 Stages?
DNA Replication Exact copies of Chromosomes
S
**DNA must be copied then distributed
Chromosome
DNA
GeneChromosome = consists of DNA tightly coiled around proteins
HUMANS
“Somatic cells” (body cells)

Cancer = uncontrolled growth/division of cells
If gene that contains info for cell growth/division is mutated =Cell growth/division unregulated
Tumor
“benign tumor” “malignant tumor”
Metastasis
Chemotherapy with toxic drugs.
Radiation therapy
= a mass of abnormal cells.
Therapy?
(start more tumors)
Mammograms
