Cell Division!!
Growth through Cell Division

Organisms grow in size by increasing
both the size and the number of their
cells.
– A single cell grows and then divides, forming two cells.
Then those two cells grow and divide, forming four…

Cell Cycle
QuickTime™ and a

During the cell cycle,
a cell grows, prepares
for division, and
divides into two new
cells which are called
daughter cells.
 Each of the daughter
cells then begins the
cycle again.


Cell Cycle

The cell cycle has three stages:
2. Mitosis
QuickTime™ and a
TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
1. Interphase
3. Cytokinesis
Interphase

During interphase (Stage 1), the cell…
– GROWS,
– makes a COPY of its DNA,
– and PREPARES to divide into two cells
with the same DNA as the parent cell.
Interphase
Gap 1
(G1)
Growing
The cell grows to its full size and
produces copies of the
structures/organelles it needs to
function.

The cell makes an exact copy of
the DNA in its nucleus in a
process called DNA replication.
Gap 2
(G2)
Preparing for Division
The cell produces structures it
needs to divide into two cells.
Mitosis
Parent Cell (1)
During mitosis, one
COPY of the DNA
is distributed into
each of the two
daughter cells.
 During this stage
the chromatin
condenses (coilsup) to form
chromatids.

Daughter Cells (2)
Cytokinesis
During cytokinesis,
the cytoplasm
divides. The
organelles are
distributed into each
of the new cells.
 Each daughter cell
has the same number
of chromosomes as
the parent cell!


TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor

Cytokinesis
In plant cells…
The cell membrane
squeezes together around
the middle of the cell. The
cytoplasm pinches into
two.
Because the hard cell wall
cannot “squeeze” together,
plant cells have a cell plate
form across the middle of
the cell. The cell plate will
develop into the membrane.

In animal cells…
In short…

The cell cycle is how you get from 1
cell to 2 cells (and then 2 cells to 4
cells…)…
Unfortunately, cell
division is more
complicated than it
seems---there are 3
stages to go through
before you get 2 new
cells!

The Cell Cycle and Mitosis
Mitosis

Scientists divide
mitosis into four
parts, or phases:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
QuickTime™ and a
TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
Prophase
Chromatin in the
nucleus condenses to
form chromosomes.
 The pairs of
centrioles move to
opposite sides of the
nucleus.
 Spindle fibers form
a bridge between the
ends of the cell.
 The nuclear envelope
breaks down.


Metaphase
The chromosomes
line up across the
center of the cell.
 Each chromosome
attaches to a
spindle fiber at its
centromere.

QuickTime™ and a
TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
Anaphase
The centromeres
split.
 The two chromatids
separate, and each
chromatid becomes a
new chromosome.
 The new
chromosomes move
to opposite ends of
the cell.
 The cell stretches
out as the opposite
ends are pushed
apart.

QuickTime™ and a
TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
Telophase


The chromosomes
begin to stretch
out and lose their
rod-like
appearance.
A new nuclear
envelope forms
around each region
of chromosomes.


I is for Interphase is step 1, the step before
mitosis has begun
P is for Prophase is step 2, the chromosome double
dog that’s what they do.
M is for Metaphase is step 3, the chromosomes
line up as you can see.
A is for Anaphase is step 4, as chromosomes move
away from the core.
T is for Telephase is step 5, right, two daughter
cells are made in both of our life.
Mitosis tells all my cells to divide, each cells put
chromosomes to opposite sides. It makes daughter
cells that are two of a kind, two of a kind.

The Structure of DNA

If you were to
unravel a
chromosome, you
would find that the
DNA strands are
wound tightly
around proteins.
(The proteins help
support the
chromosome’s
structure).

DNA

Deoxyribonucleic Acid, or DNA, is the
genetic material that carries
information about an organism and is
passed from parent to offspring.
The Structure of DNA
The strands of a
DNA molecule
look like a
twisted ladder.
 We call this
shape a “double
helix”.

QuickTime™ and a
TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
The Structure of DNA

The 2 sides of the
DNA “ladder” or
are made up of
molecules of sugar
called deoxyribose,
alternating with
molecules known as
phosphates.
QuickTime™ and a
TIFF (Uncompressed) decompress
are needed to see this picture.
The Structure of DNA

Each “rung” of
the ladder is
made up of a
pair of
molecules
called nitrogen
bases.

Nitrogen Base Pairs

DNA has four
kinds of nitrogen
bases:
–
–
–
–

Adenine=A
Thymine=T
Guanine=G
Cytosine=C
What do you
notice about
these bases from
the picture?
Nitrogen Base Pairs



The bases on one
side of the ladder
pair with bases on
the other side of
the ladder.
Adenine ONLY pairs
with Thymine
Guanine ONLY pairs
with Cytosine.
Nucleotide
We say that DNA is
made up of
interconnected
molecules called
nucleotides (like beads
on a string).
 Each nucleotide has
three parts:

1. A sugar molecule:
deoxyribose
2. A phosphate molecule
3. A nitrogen base (A, T, G,
or C).

DNA and Genes
DNA Replication

The process by which the cell makes
an EXACT copy of the DNA in its
nucleus.
But how does the cell make
an exact copy of its DNA?
The key is DNA’s
pairing pattern (A-T
or G-C).
 DNA replication
begins when the two
sides of the DNA
molecule unwind and
unzip like a zipper.

QuickTime™ and a
TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor

But how does the cell make
an exact copy of its DNA?
Next, nitrogen bases
that are floating in the
nucleus pair up with the
bases on each half of
the DNA molecule.
 This creates two exact
copies of the parent
DNA (because each
side is like a pattern
telling us what to add
to the other side).
