Cell Cycle and Cell Division

Cell Division
• - the process a cell undergoes in order to make copies of itself.
• Why do cells divide?

DNA & Chromosomes
• DNA is chromatin strands and chromosomes

Interphase (about 90% of the cell cycle time)
• Cell mature• Chromosomes copy
themselves

Mitosis: Prophase
• Nuclear membrane disappears
• Spindle fibers form at the poles of the cell

Mitosis: Metaphase
• Chromosomes line up at the middle
• 2 Spindle fibers attach to each centromere

Mitosis: Anaphase
• Centromeres split and the fiber strands pull the chromosomes to each pole

Mitosis: Telophase
• 2 new nuclei form at two poles of the cell where chromosomes have gathered
• Mitosis (division of one nucleus into two identical nuclei) is complete

Cytokinesis
Two new daughter cells are formed
