Mitosis & Cytokinesis

Cell Growth and Reproduction

 Growth &Repair Reproduction of single celled organisms

Why do cells divide by Mitosis?

Amobea Reproducing

Cells dividing by Mitosis.

Skin Identical to original cell Same chromosome # Identical chromosome makeup

Cell Cycle
G or Growth 1 phase

S or DNA Synthesis

24 hours
M or Mitosis phase

Growth 2

Where is DNA located?

1. Nucleus 2. Chromosomes
DNA

Duplicated Chromosome (Late Interphase):

Sister Chromatids

Centromere

Spindle & spindle fibers: Pull apart the sister chromatids

Spindle fibers

Cytokinesis:cells cytoplasm
divides & splits apart

Stages of Mitotic Cell Division

Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase

1st

middle apart far or separate

Interphase
Intermission Normal metabolic activities Major state DNA= chromatin

Late Interphase
Prepares for mitosis DNA doubles= Sister chromatids

Prophase

Nuclear membrane disappears Doubled DNA = condensed chromosomes

Spindle fibers

Metaphase
Chromoso mes line up midcell

Anaphase
Chromosomes move to opposite poles t

Telophase
Cells divide Cell plate or membranes form Nucleus reappears

Returns to Interphase
Intermission Normal metabolic activities Major state DNA=chromatin

Plant versus Animal Mitosis

Plant: Cell wall from cell plate in telophase Spindles Animal: No cell wall membrane cytokinesis Centrioles

Animal Telophase

Interphase

Plant Anaphase
Interphase

Cancerous cells...
1.Divide too many times 2.Divide into more than two cells! Masses of cells = tumors benign malignant
