|
-is the basis for the continuity of all life. -the process by which the cell divides to form two daughter cells -the daughter cells have the exact genetic info. (DNA) as the parent cell |
Cell Division |
|
|
How does cell division work? |
1.Typical human has about 2 metres of DNA, so before the cell can divide, all the DNA must be copied during Interphase 2.Then two copies separated so that each daughter cells ends up with a complete set of DNA that is identical to the parent (mother cell [mitosis & cytokineses] |
|
|
3 main reasons why cell undergo cell division |
1.Growth of organisms 2. Repair of damaged tissues & Organs 3. Reproduction leads to replacing dying/dead cells |
|
|

3 Distinct Stages of Cell Cycle |
Interphase Mitosis Cytokinesis |
|
|
-cell carries out normal functions, cell grows, develops into mature, functioning cell, and duplicates genetic material (DNA) in preparationffor the next stage of cycle/division-longest stage of the cell cycle |
Interphase |
|
|
3 Distinct Stages within Interphase |
G1 (First Gap) S (Synthesis) G2 (Second Gap) |
|
|
-cell synthesize new molecules (i.e. enzymes, cytoplasmic organelles double in number) in preparation for next phase in cell cycle |
G1 (First Gap) |
3 Distinct Stages within Interphase |
|
Cellular DNA = copied/replicated -the DNA (chromatin) has been duplicated (doubled #) from 46 to 92 which means we had 46 individual strands and now we have 92 strands |
S (Synthesis) |

occur in both the nucleus and cytoplasm-the nucleolus dissolves/disappear |

Non-kinetochore microtubules |
2 types of Microtubules |
|
by metaphase they help stabilize the cell so that metaphase can occur properly and this is important because there is a check point (M) that ensures this is done properly or sister chromatids won't separate properly in anaphase-by anaphase,telophase, & cytokinesis they continue to push againsteach other to make the larger, which helps to form 2 daughter cells |
Non-kinetochore microtubules |
2 types of Microtubules |
|
-microtubules attack to chromosome's centromere specifically the kinetochores-attach to the kinetochore so they can move the chromosomes throughout different stages in mitosi |
Kinetochore microtubules |
2 types of Microtubules |
|
-the nuclear envelope starts to breakdown (fragments) the Centrosomes are almost at the opposite poles -the microtubules of the mitotic spindle are fully formed where they invade in the nucleus and interact with the chromosomes |
Late Prophase (Prometaphase) |
|
|
chromosomes lining up at the centre or middle the 2 sets of centrioles are now at completely opposite sides the kinetochore microtubules from each centriole move the chromosomes to the middle of the cell |
Metaphase - Phase 2 of Mitosis |
|
|
-away -chromosomes/sister chromatids separate because the centrosomes break |
