1. Mitosis

2. Tackle Tuesday-Cell Cycle Questions in Google Classroom
1. What is the longest stage of the cell cycle called?
2. During what phase is DNA replicated?
3. During what phase does the cell grow?
4. What phase of the cell cycle does the cell prepare for mitosis?
5. Put the phases in the correct order: Mitosis, G2, G1, Cytokinesis, S phase
Why do cells divide?

3. Mitosis
Two daughter cells are produced with an identical copy of the parent’s DNA

4. Mitosis- Notes Divide journal into 6 boxes.
Title the boxes in this order:
Interphase
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Cytokinesis

5. How does the cell know how to divide?
Cell Division
Reproduction
Growth
Repair
Why do cells divide?
How does the cell know how to divide?
The DNA has the instructions for all of the cell’s activities.

6. Cell Cycle 3 Parts The sequence of development and division of a cell
Interphase - Preparation
Mitosis – Cell division
Cytokinesis – Splitting
Adult human cell: ~24 hrs
18-20 hours in interphase
2 hours in mitosis
Embryonic cells: 30 min.
How long does it take?

7. Interphase What happens Cell doubles in size DNA replicates
Organelles double in number

8. Mitosis: PROPHASE What happens DNA forms chromosomes Spindle forms
Centrioles move toward opposite poles
Nuclear membrane begins to disappear

9. Mitosis: METAPHASE What happens Nucleus has disappeared completely
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell “equator”

10. Mitosis: ANAPHASE What happens Centromeres divide
Chromatids separate and move to opposite poles

11. Mitosis: TELOPHASE What happens
Nuclear membrane forms around each group of chromosomes
Chromosomes unwind
Cytokinesis begins

12. Cytokinesis
Cytoplasm divides
One cell becomes 2 cells
What happens
