3. Cell Division (2.3) Cells reproduce by dividing
1. In order to divide, cells need to duplicate their structures (organelles) or divide the structures equally between the two new cells.
2. The regular sequence of growth and division is called the cell cycle.
3. The cell cycle is divided into a series of phases.
4. At the end of the cell cycle, one “parent” cell becomes two “daughter” cells.

4. B. Interphase
1. Interphase is the period before cell division occurs, the cell grows to its mature size, makes a copy of its DNA and prepares to divide into two cells.
2. The cell doubles in size and produces all structures needed to carry out cell division
3. The cell makes a copy of its DNA through a process called replication. Replication of the DNA is very important because each daughter cell needs a complete set of DNA to survive.

5. Mitosis - Cell Division
During mitosis, the cell’s nucleus divides into two new nuclei. One copy of the DNA is distributed into each of the two daughter cells.

6. C. Mitosis
1. the chromatin in the nucleus condenses to form
chromosomes.
2. structures called spindle fibers form a bridge between
the ends of the cells
3. the nuclear membrane breaks down
4. the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell
5. each chromosome attaches to a spindle fiber at its
centromere, which holds its chromatids together

7. 6. the centromeres split, the two chromatids separate
7. one chromatid moves along the spindle fiber to one
end of the cell, the other chromatid moves to the opposite end
8. the cell becomes stretched out as the opposite ends
pull apart
9. the chromosomes begin to stretch out and lose their
rod like appearance
10. this occurs in two regions at the ends of the cell
11. a new nuclear membrane forms around each region
of chromosomes

8. D. At the end of Mitosis, cytokinesis occurs
1. Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm
2. At the end of cytokinesis, the two new daughter cells are exactly the same as the original parent cell.

Length of the Cell Cycle
How long does it take for a cell to go through one cell cycle? It all depends on the cell. A human liver cell, for example, completes one cell cycle in about 22 hours, as shown in the graph. Study the graph and then answer the following questions. 1.

How long does it take for a cell to go through one cell cycle? It all depends on the cell. A human liver cell, for example, completes one cell cycle in about 22 hours, as shown in the graph. Study the graph and then answer the following questions.
What do the three curved arrows outside the circle represent?
In what stage of the cell cycle is the wedge representing growth?
In human liver cells, how long does it take DNA replication to occur?
In human liver cells, what stage in the cell cycle takes the longest time?

Reading Graphs:
What do the three curved arrows outside the circle represent?
The longest curved arrow represents the cell’s interphase; the shortest represents cytokinesis; and the middle one represents mitosis.
