1. 2.5 Cell Division As seen in eukaryotes

2. Cell cycle The life of a cell Events between cell division Needed for cell growth, tissue repair, and cell maintenance Produces two genetically identical nuclei

3. Cell Cycle Overview Interphase: G1, S, G2 Mitosis: Prophase – DNA (chromatin) condenses Metaphase – chromosomes align on equator Anaphase – chromatids separate, move to opposite poles Telophase – 2 genetically identical nuclei form Cytokinesis - cytoplasm divides cytokinesis

4. Interphase: G1: metabolic reactions, cell growth, cell performs its function(s), transcription and translation of useful genes to make proteins

5. Interphase: S : Replication (all DNA is copied) G2: some growth, production of molecules needed for mitosis At any time during interphase, chloroplasts and mitochondria can reproduce by simple division. Some cells can stay in interphase forever.

6. DNA vocabulary: Both are chromosomes This one has 2 chromatids (indentical). As soon as they separate at the centromere, they will be separate chromosomes. Uncondensed chromosomes are called chromatin

7. Prophase: DNA supercoils into chromosomes. Spindle microtubules assemble (grow from poles) Centrioles move toward poles Nuclear membrane breaks down

8. Metaphase Spindle microtubules attach to centromeres Chromosomes line up along equator

9. Anaphase Spindle microtubules shorten Sister chromatids split into identical chromosomes Chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles

10. Telophase Chromosomes uncoil at poles Nuclear membrane reforms Spindle microtubules break down Daughter cells enter interphase

11. Cytokinesis The cytoplasm divides in two May happen at the same time as telophase; may not happen at all (muscle).

13. Mitosis forms cells for: Asexual reproduction Embryonic development Growth Tissue repair

14. Cancer: Uncontrolled Cell Cycle Repeated, rapid divisions Ignores body signals (growth inhibitors) Creates growing group of out-of- control cells (tumour) Tumours can be in any organ Tumours can spread throughout the body (metastasize) Abnormal numbers of chromosomes develop from rushed division

15. Fighting Cancer Cancer treatments like radiation and some chemotherapy drugs target rapidly dividing cells for destruction. This causes hair to fall out and damage to the intestinal lining causing nausea, because these cells also divide rapidly New treatments try to target cancer cells more specifically.
