The Cell Cycle

Reproduction of Cells

Two Reasons for Mitosis

Without the
process of mitosis
there would be no
cancer.
New cells are
needed to repair
damaged tissues.

Cells wear out, die

and need to be
replaced.
They allow a body
to grow.

Cell Cycle Before Mitosis

G1- this is one of
the growth phases
in the cell cycle

G2- this a second of

the growth phases
in the cell cycle.

S-The time of the

cell in which DNA is
being synthesized

Chromosomes
Chromosomes are
image
on our DNA and
they carry all of our
genetic information

Interphase
During interphase,
what happens is:
the cells are
functioning for the
organisms.

5 phases of Mitosis
Phase 1: Prophase
DNA uncoils and
becomes visible
under a
microscope.

5- phases of Mitosis
Phase 2:
Metaphase
Chromosomes line
up in the center of
the cell.

5- phases of Mitosis
Phase 3: Anaphase
Chromosomes
begin to divide.
One of each pair of
sister on each side.
The lines in the
middle are called
chromatids.

5- phases of Mitosis
Phase 4
Telophase
The nucleus
reforms.
Two cells begin to
separate.
Phase 5
Cytokinesis
Cytokinesis two
duplicated cells

In Conclusion
Mitosis results in:
to repair of dead and damaged cells.
How many cells?
there are 2 cells
Are they genetically different or the
same
They are both have the same
chromosomes as eachother and
original cell.
