Chapter 2, Lesson 3
Page 56

2. What Are the Functions of Cell Division?
Read the “My Planet Diary: Cycling On”…p. 56
Comparing Cell Cycles
The table below compares the length of different cell cycles.

3. What are the Functions of Cell Division?
Use the data table to
help answer the
following questions:
1. Which type of cell completes a cell cycle fastest?
Frog egg cells
2. With each cell cycle, two cells form from one cell. In three hours, how many cells could form from one frog egg cell?
64 cells

4. What Are the Functions of Cell Division?
Cell division allows organisms to:
GROW
REPAIR damaged structures
REPRODUCE

5. What Happens During the Cell Cycle?
During the Cell Cycle, a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides into two new cells, which are called “daughter cells.”

6. 3 stages of the cell cycle
The cell cycle consists of three stages:
Interphase
Mitosis
Cytokinesis
“I ‘M Cool”

7. Interphase – 1st stage of cell cycle more details…
G1 - GROWING:
Cell grows to full size
Produces organelles it needs
Makes more enzymes
S - COPYING DNA:
Makes an exact copy of DNA: REPLICATION
At the end of replication, the cell has 2 identical sets of chromosomes
G2 - PREPARING FOR DIVISION:
Produces structures that will help it to divide
centrioles, spindle fibers, etc.

8. Background of a chromosome p. 59 (stage 2: Mitosis)
Chromosomes are made of 2 rod-like parts called chromatids; chromatids are identical to each other w/ the same DNA.
Centromere holds the two chromatids together
When a cell divides, one chromatid will go to each new cell

10. The cell’s nucleus divides into two new nuclei
STAGE 2: MITOSIS
The cell’s nucleus divides into two new nuclei
One set of DNA is distributed into each daughter cell
Divided into 4 phases:

11. Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase (Pass My Algebra Test!)
MITOSIS HAS 4 PHASES
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase b
(Pass My Algebra Test!)

12. Phases of Mitosis PROPHASE:
Chromosomes in the nucleus condense (smash together)
Nuclear envelope breaks down
pairs of centrioles move to opposite sides of nucleus
spindle fibers form a bridge between ends of the cell

13. Phases of Mitosis How does prophase look different from interphase?
Chromosomes condense (the Xs); the nucleus is changing (nuclear envelope goes away)

14. Phases of Mitosis METAPHASE:
Each chromosome attaches to a spindle fiber at its centromere.
Chromosomes move to center of the cell
Meta = middle

15. Phases of Mitosis What is missing from the cell in metaphase? Nucleus
Prophase
What is missing from the cell in metaphase?  
Nucleus
What happened to the chromosomes?
the chromosomes moved to the center of the cell
Metaphase

16. Phases of Mitosis ANAPHASE:
Chromatids (now called chromosomes) move to opposite ends of the cell
Cell stretches out

17. Phases of Mitosis TELOPHASE:
Nuclei are forming (nuclear envelope reappears)
Cell is pinching in at the middle

18. Stage 3: Cytokinesis Cytokinesis: Cytoplasm divides
Each daughter cell has the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell

19. The cell’s nucleus divides into two new nuclei
STAGE 3: Cytokinesis
The cell’s nucleus divides into two new nuclei
One set of DNA is distributed into each daughter cell
Divided into 4 phases:

20. Length of a Liver Cell Cycle
Do the Math – p. 63
Length of a Liver Cell Cycle
Human liver cells generally reproduce less than once per year. At other times, they can complete one cell cycle in about 22 hours. The circle graph to the left displays this.
