1 5.2 Mitosis and Cytokinesis KEY CONCEPT Cells divide during mitosis and cytokinesis.

2 5.2 Mitosis and Cytokinesis Chromosomes condense at the start of mitosis. DNA wraps around proteins (histones) that condense it. DNA double helix DNA and histones Chromati n Supercoiled DNA A chromosome is one long continuous thread of DNA.

3 5.2 Mitosis and Cytokinesis DNA plus proteins is called chromatin. One half of a duplicated chromosome is a chromatid. Sister chromatids are held together at the centromere. Telomeres protect DNA and do not include genes. Condensed, duplicated chromosome chromatid telomere centromere telomere

4 5.2 Mitosis and Cytokinesis Parent cell centrioles spindle fibers centrosome nucleus with DNA Interphase prepares the cell to divide. During interphase, the DNA is duplicated. Mitosis and cytokinesis produce two genetically identical daughter cells.

5 5.2 Mitosis and Cytokinesis Mitosis divides the cell’s nucleus in four phases. –During prophase, chromosomes condense and spindle fibers form.

6 5.2 Mitosis and Cytokinesis Mitosis divides the cell’s nucleus in four phases. –During metaphase, chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.

7 5.2 Mitosis and Cytokinesis Mitosis divides the cell’s nucleus in four phases. –During anaphase, sister chromatids separate to opposite sides of the cell.

8 5.2 Mitosis and Cytokinesis Mitosis divides the cell’s nucleus in four phases. –During telophase, the new nuclei form and chromosomes begin to uncoil.

9 5.2 Mitosis and Cytokinesis Cytokinesis differs in animal and plant cells. –In animal cells, the membrane pinches closed. –In plant cells, a cell plate forms.

10 5.2 Mitosis and Cytokinesis Ticket out the door Write 3 ideas/concepts that you learned today. Write 2 ideas/concepts that you are confused about. Write 1 ideas/concept that you would like to say.
