Cell Division

Cell Division
CELL CYCLE
The cell grows and replicates its chromosomes to prepare for cell
division.
The cell then leaves interphase and finally undergoes cell division.
INTERPHASE
1. BINARY FISSION
THREE MAJOR STEPS
A. DNA REPLICATION
- DNA is copied resulting in two identical chromosomes
B. CHROMOSOME SEGREGATION
- chromosome separates and move towards end poles of cell.
C. CYTOKINESIS
- cytoplasm divides forming 2 cells.
NOTE: Each new daughter cell is GENETICALLY IDENTICAL to parent cell.
EUKARYOTIC CELL DIVISION
cell division that results in two daughter cells each having
the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent
cell.
1. MITOSIS
2 MAIN STEPS
A. MITOSIS
-Prophase------Metaphase-----Anaphase-----Telophase
B. CYTOKINESIS
- cytoplasm divides forming two new daughter cells
Each daughter cell is genetically identical to parent cell.
MITOSIS
2. Mitosis - Prophase
• Longest phase of MITOSIS
(50-60 % of total time required
for mitosis)
• Nuclear membrane starts to
disintegrate
• Chromosomes condense (become
visible) – seen as 2 identical
chromatids lying side by side held
together by centromeres
• Centrioles move to opposite poles
• Spindle fibers grow from
centrioles, attach at centromeres
3. Mitosis – Metaphase (hint “M”=middle)
• Chromosomes attach
to the spindle fibers
• Chromosomes line up in
the middle (aka
equator)
• Spindle fibers run
from centrosomes to
centromeres of the
chromosomes
4. Mitosis - Anaphase (hint “A” = away)
• Centromeres split
• Spindles retract and pull sister
chromatids apart
• Chromosomes move to opposite poles
(toward centrioles)
5. Mitosis - Telophase
• Chromosomes cluster at poles
• Chromosomes uncoil – back into
chromatin
• Nuclear envelope reforms around
each new nuclei
• Mitosis is done
• Cell membrane begins to pinch in the
middle
