The document discusses cell division and the cell cycle. It describes the stages of mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase) and how chromosomes are duplicated before cell division. The cell cycle is explained as the series of events cells go through, including interphase (G1, S phase, G2) where the cell grows and prepares to divide, and mitosis where the cell nucleus and cytoplasm divide.

running or jumping while playing. Did you experience having a cut or a bruise by tripping over while running around or playing?
How did it change after several days?
What procedures were done to take care of the
cuts/bruises? This is how a blood smear looks like under the lens of a microscope. Animal Cells vs Plant Cells EGG CELLS
SPERM CELLS CELL DIVISION In EUKARYOTES, cell division occurs in 2 major stages:
1. Division of the cell nucleus, called
mitosis; and
2. Division of the cell cytoplasm,
called cytokinesis MITOSIS A process of nuclear division wherein two genetically identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell are produced. CHROMOSOMES • Each chromosome consists of two identical “sister” chromatids.
• Each pair of chromatids is
attached at an area called the centromere. CHROMOSOMES • Genetic information is passed from one generation to the next generation through chromosomes.
• Before cell division, each
chromosome is duplicated, or copied. CHROMATIN • Long thin strands made up of DNA and protein.
• The protein helps the DNA
to stay together when chromosomes form. CELL CYCLE The cell cycle is the series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide. DURING THE CELL CYCLE 1. a cell grows 2. prepares for division 3. divides itself to form two daughter cells, each of which begins the cycle again INTERPHASE is the period of growth that occurs between cell divisions.
Cell spends most of its life in this
phase. During G1 (FIRST GAP PHASE)
• The cell increases in size (grows)
• Synthesizes new proteins and
organelles (develops) During S phase (DNA REPLICATION)
• Chromosomes are replicated
• DNA synthesis takes place
During G2 Phase THE (SECOND GAP PHASE)
• Organelles and molecules required for
cell division are produced.
• Once G2 is complete, the cell is ready to
start the M phase - Mitosis. MITOSIS • Occurs in body cells – somatic cells
