Page 1: Cell Cycle

Cell Cycle and Cell Division

Page 2: Cell Cycle

Cell Division

• - the process a cell undergoes in order to make copies of itself.

• Why do cells divide?

Page 3: Cell Cycle

DNA & Chromosomes

• DNA is chromatin strands and chromosomes

Page 4: Cell Cycle

Interphase (about 90% of the cell cycle time)

• Cell mature• Chromosomes copy

themselves

Page 5: Cell Cycle

Mitosis: Prophase

• Nuclear membrane disappears

• Spindle fibers form at the poles of the cell

Page 6: Cell Cycle

Mitosis: Metaphase

• Chromosomes line up at the middle

• 2 Spindle fibers attach to each centromere

Page 7: Cell Cycle

Mitosis: Anaphase

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

Page 8: Cell Cycle

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

Page 9: Cell Cycle

Cytokinesis

Two new daughter cells are formed
