    Cell reproduction occurs through cell division, which produces two daughter cells. There are three main types of cell division: binary fission in prokaryotes, mitosis in eukaryotes for growth and repair, and meiosis in eukaryotes for forming sex cells. The cell cycle is the series of events from one cell division to the next, consisting of interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis.

    Cell Reproduction

    CELL REPRODUCTION
    Cell Division: process by which a cell divides to form
    two new cells (daughter cells)
    Three types of cell division, or cell reproduction
    Prokaryotes (bacteria)
    Binary fission divides forming two new identical cells
    Eukaryotes
    Mitosis
    Cell or organism growth
    Replacement or repair of damaged cells
    Meiosis
    formation of sex cells, or gametes
    The Cell Cycle
    Why do cells divide?
    For growth and repair
    To get food, water, and waste in and out of our
    bodies quickly
    Mitosis and Cytokinesis
    . Cell size is limited.
    Volume increases faster than surface area.
    What is the Cell Cycle?
    Series of events that take place from one cell
    division to the next
    Constantly repeated
    Three Stages of the Cell Cycle
    Interphase
    Mitosis
    Cytokinesis
    Interphase
    Non-dividing state
    with 3 sub-stages:
    Gap 1 – cell grows in size
    – organelles replicated
    Synthesis – replication of DNA
    – synthesis of proteins
    associated with DNA
    Gap 2 – synthesis of proteins
    associated with mitosis

    Interphase
    Period of growth and
    development
    Longest phase of the
    cell cycle
    Some cells never leave
    interphase such as nerve
    and muscle cells
    Three things happen
    during interphase:
    Cell grows in size;
    makes an extra set of
    structures
    Cell makes a copy of
    its hereditary
    material. (DNA)
    Produces structures
    needed division (spindle
    fibers, centrioles)
    DNA
    Deoxyribonucleic acid
    It is our hereditary material (passed on from
    our parents)
    Found in the nucleus of our cells as chromatin
    Chromatin vs. Chromosomes
    Chromatin is uncoiled
    DNA
    Chromosomes are
    tightly coiled strands of
    DNA
    DNA containing cell’s
    genetic code
    Each chromosome has a
    matching pair
    -- Homologous Pair
    During interphase, each
    chromosome copies itself
    Chromosomes
    Human Karyotype
    Chromosome #’s
    Humans-46
    Carrot-18
    Cat- 32
    Dog-78
    Earthworm-36
    Fruit fly-8
    Chimpanzee-48
    Adder’s tongue fern-1,262
    PROKARYOTIC CELL DIVISION
    Binary fission
    3 main steps:
    1: DNA Replication—DNA is copied, resulting in 2
    identical chromosomes
    2: Chromosome Segregation—2 chromosomes separate,
    move towards ends (poles) of cell
    3: Cytokinesis—cytoplasm divides, forming 2 cells

    Each new daughter cell is


    genetically identical to parent cell

    Mitosis
    Is the division of the nucleus
    Results in two new identical nuclei
