Cell Division

Cell Division

● The process by which a cell, before it gets too large, divides to form _____
daughter
“_________________” cells.

● The process is known as ______________________________.

cell division

Chromosomes

● In eukaryotic cells, the genetic information that is

passed on from one generation of cell to the next is

carried by _____________________.
chromosomes

● Chromosomes are made of _____________

DNA and

proteins
____________________.

46
● Human cells have __________ chromosomes or 23 pairs

● They are only visible during cell division. The ________________

DNA condense and can

be seen through a microscope.

● This is because the ___________

DNA protein
and _____________ molecules that make up the

chromosomes are spread throughout the _________________.

nucleus At the beginning of

cell division, chromosomes condense into a compact, visible structures.

Chromatids

copy
● Every cell must first __________ its genetic information.

● Each chromosome is replicated, or __________

copied creating identical sister

_______________.
chromatids

● Each pair is connected at the _________________________

centromere

● S Phase: Is

when DNA replicates

________________________________________________________________
 ● G1: The cell does most of its __________________
growing

● G2: Many of the molecules required for cell division are produced.

Mitosis

● Mitosis consists of 4 phases:

Spindle fibers _________________________________________________________

help separate the chromosomes

Metaphase (Meet in the Middle)

● The chromosome line up across the ______________________________________.

meet in the middle of the cell

Anaphase (pulled Apart)

● The sister _______________________

chromatids are pulled apart
Telophase

● The chromosomes unwind and ________________

disappear and ___________________
nuclear

envelop re-form
Cytokinesis

● Division of ________________________
cytoplasm occurs during telophase
● Creating _____________
