Cell DivisionMitosis & Meiosis
Why cells divide?
Replace old, damaged or dead cells
Growth of organism (multicellular)
Reproduce new organisms
Prokaryotic Cell Division
Binary Fission:
Cell GrowsChromosome copies
Cell Splits Into Two
Eukaryotic Cell Division
2 kinds of cell division
Mitosis- Process in which 2 new cells with identical genetic material are made from the parent cell (1 diploid cell divides to produce 2 new diploid cells)
Meiosis- Process in which gametes (sex cells) are made in which they recieve half of the genetic information
Cell Cycle
Repeating events of life of a cell
Three events:
Interphase: cell growing (not dividing)
Mitosis or Meiosis: Genetic material dividing
Cytokinesis: Division of cell itself
Cell Cycle
Interphase
G1 phase
cell grows to mature size
S phase
Cell’s DNA copies
G2 phase
Cell prepares for cell division
G0 phase- cell no longer divides (nerve cells)
Interphase
MitosisDivision of chromosomes
4 Events
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
ProphaseChromatin (DNA) shortens and tightens into distinct rod-shaped chromosomes
Nucleus & nucleolus disappear
Two pairs of centrioles migrate to each pole of the cell and release spindle fibers that radiate throughout the cell and attach to the centromere of each chromosome
Metaphase
Each chromosome lines up at the equator of the cell
Anaphase
•Chromatids of each chromosome split and are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell
Telophase
Chromosomes become less coiled and return to the less tightly coiled chromatin
Nucleus and nucleolus reappear in each new cell
Spindle fibers disappear
Cytokinesis
Cell & cytoplasm divide either by cleavage furrow in animal cells or cell plate in plant cells
