The Cell Cycle
LN #14
The Cell Theory All cells come from preexisting cells. Cell division has two major roles in the life
cycle of multicellular organisms.Allows organisms to develop from a fertilized
egg to an embryo and then to an adult.Allows life to continue through the production
of sperm and eggs.
Eukaryotes have chromosomes
Chromosomes are made of DNA and protein.
They are located in the nucleus.
Chromosomes are visible under the microscope only when the cell is dividing.
When a cell is not dividing they are in a tangled mass called chromatin.
Number of Chromosomes
The somatic cells (all the body cells except sperm or eggs) contain a characteristic number of chromosomes.Human somatic cells have 46 chromosomes. Human sperm and egg cells have 23
chromosomes. Every somatic cell (body cell) in your body has
the same DNA. Cells are specialized and only use part of the
DNA for their specific job.
The Cell Cycle
Interphase cell grows chromosomes duplicate cell parts are made 90% of cell cycle time
Mitosis cell division
Cytokinesis cytoplasm divides in two
Chromosomes Duplicate and Split
Before the cell begins to divide the cell makes a copy of its chromosomes.
Duplication results in two identical structures called sister chromatids.
When cell divides sister chromatids are separated. Sister
chromatids
Interphase is a period of cell growth and DNA replication
Prophase Chromatid coils to form chromosomes. Nuclear envelope is gone. Spindle fibers move chromosomes to the center.
Metaphase Chromosomes line upin the Middle.
Anaphase Chromosomes are pulledApart.
Telophase Two cells are formed.

Summary
What are chromosomes made of Where are chromosomes located? What are the different parts of the cell
cycle? What is mitosis? What are the different phases of
mitosis?
