What changes did you notice when you were
young and now that you are a teenager?
What happens to our wound after
a few days or weeks have
passed?
CELL DIVISION
o production of new cells to bring about growth;
MITOSIS MEIOSIS
It takes place in our body cells It takes place in the ovaries and testes of
animals, including humans.
(somatic cells)
It is responsible for the formation of gametes or sex-
cells
RUDOLF VIRCHOW
• German pathologist in 1858
• In this process, one cell divides and
becomes two.
• The process of cell division repeated
over and over in a process called
CELL CYCLE.

CELL CYCLE DIAGRAM
2 main stages of cell cycle:
INTERPHASE
• It takes the longest period in
the cycle.
• In a 24-hour cell cycle, 23
hours is spent for interphase.
• It is described as the resting
stage.
CELL CYCLE DIAGRAM
INTERPHASE
G1 – “gap phase 1”
the cell grows physically larger, copies organelles,
and makes the molecular building blocks it will
need in later steps
S phase – “synthesis phase”
the cell synthesizes a complete copy of the DNA in
its nucleus
G2– “gap phase 2”
the cell grows more, makes proteins and organelles,
and begins to reorganize its contents in preparation
for mitosis

disappears.
3. Centrioles have separated and taken
positions on the opposite poles of the cell.
4. Spindle fibers form and radiate toward the
center of the cell.

METAPHASE
centrioles
Metaphase (the shortest phase of
mitosis) is characterized by two chromosomes
events:
spindle fibers
1. Chromosomes line up across
the middle of the cell.
2. Spindle fibers connect the
centromere of each sister
chromatid to the poles of the
cell.
ANAPHASE
Anaphase is characterized by three
events:
