1. Cell Reproduction and Growth
Cell Division M C

2. (phases in the life cycle of a cell)
The Cell Cycle
(phases in the life cycle of a cell)
Interphase (G1, S, G2)
Cell Division-
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Cytokinesis

3. What happens in each of these phases of the cell cycle?

4. Interphase
Cell grows in size and metabolizes
Chromosomes duplicated

5. G1-growth phase 1
S-synthesis
G2-growth phase 2

6. 1. Prophase Chromatin coils up into chromosomes Nucleus disappears
(Chromosomes are made up of 2 sister chromatids attached by a centromere)
Nucleus disappears
Centrioles move to poles
Spindle forms

7. 2. Metaphase
Chromosomes attach to the spindle and line up on the equator of the cell.
Spindle fibers attach to each sister chromatid at the centromere.

8. 3. Anaphase
Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles as spindle fibers shorten

9. 4. Telophase Chromatids reach poles Chromosomes unwind Nuclei reform
Spindle fibers break down

10. 5. Cytokinesis
Division of the cytoplasm…separation of the 2 new cells

11. Cytokinesis: Animal vs. Plant
Plasma membrane pinches in (cleavage furrow)
Cell is pinched in two
Cell plate laid down along equator
Plasma membrane forms around each cell
New cell walls form on each side of cell plate

12. Summary
Mitosis

18. Check your BRAIN!
Describe how a cell’s surface area-to-volume ratio limits its size.
2. Why is it necessary for a cell’s chromosomes to be distributed to its daughter cells in such a precise manner?
3. How is the division of cytoplasm different in plants and in animals?
4. List the 4 phases of mitosis.
