Cell Cycle

& Mitosis
 LEARNING
OBJECTIVES

1. ) Characterize the phases of the cell

cycle .
2.) Define mitosis and its role in cell
division.
3.) Identify and describe the stages of
mitosis.
4.)Understand the significance of
mitosis in growth and tissue repair.
Cell Cycle
Cell Cycle
Cell Cycle
The cell cycle is a series of
events that occur in a
eukaryotic cell, leading to
its division and the creation
of two daughter cells.
Cell Cycle
Consist of Several phases
INTERPHASE MITOTIC PHASE
1. G1 1. Prophase
2. S 2. Metaphase
3. G2 3. Anaphase
4. Telophase
CYTOKINESIS
Cell Cycle
Interphase: G1
The cell undergoes a period
of growth and performs its
normal cellular functions.
Cell Cycle
Interphase: S
DNA replication occurs.
Cell Cycle
Interphase: G2
The cell continues to grow
and prepare for division.
Cell Cycle
Mitotic Phase
During these stages, the
duplicated chromosomes
are separated and
distributed equally to the
two daughter cells.
Cell Cycle
Cytokinesis
Division into two daughter
cells is completed.
Mitosis
 MITOSIS
What is Mitosis?

Mitosis is a type of cell division

that results in the formation of two
genetically identical daughter
cells, each with the same number
of chromosomes as the parent cell.
 MITOSIS
Importance
Mitosis is vital in biology because
it enables growth, tissue repair,
and genetic stability by dividing
cells, ensuring they have the same
genetic information as the parent
cell.
 MITOSIS
STAGES
Remember PMAT!!
P - Prophase
M - Metaphase
A - Anaphase
T - Telophase
 MITOSIS
Prophase
The "Getting
Ready"
Stage
The cell gets
ready to divide.
 MITOSIS
Metaphase
The "Line Up"
Stage
The DNA lines up
in the middle of
the cell.
 MITOSIS
Anaphase
The "Pull Apart"
Stage
The DNA copies
are pulled apart
to opposite sides
of the cell.
 MITOSIS
Telophase
The "Finishing
Up" Stage
The cell starts to
return to normal.
 Common Error of Cell Cycle and
Mitosis
Nondisjunction Consequences

Aneuploidy
Nondisjunction is a
mitotic error where
Genetic Abnormalities
chromosomes do not
separate correctly
during cell division. Miscarriages

Cancer
