What are we learning today? Benchmark: SC.912.L.16.6 Describe the cell cycle, including the process of mitosis. Explain the role of mitosis in the formation of new cells and its importance in maintaining chromosome number during asexual reproduction. SC.912.L.14.2 Explain the relationship between mutation, cell cycle, and uncontrolled cell growth potentially resulting in cancer. Objectives: I will describe the role of chromosomes in cell division. I will name and describe the main events of the cell cycle I will explain how the cell cycle is regulated I will describe how cancer cells are different from other cells
Let s look at MITOSIS up close During mitosis one cell divides once to form two identical cells. The major purpose of mitosis is for growth and to replace worn out cells.
What is the cell cycle? During the cell cycle, a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form two daughter cells. Most prokaryotic cells begin to replicate, or copy, their DNA once they have grown to a certain size. When DNA replication is complete, the cells divide through a process known as binary fission. Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction during which two genetically identical cells are produced.
What is the eukaryotic cell cycle? The eukaryotic cell cycle consists of four phases: Gap 1 or G 1 Synthesis or S Gap 2 or G 2 Mitosis or M The period of growth that consists of the G 1, S, and G 2 is called interphase Period between cell divisions. Much longer in time than mitosis.
TIME SPENT IN PHASES
What are the main events of the G 1 phase? Cell increases in size. Cell synthesizes new proteins and organelles.
What are the main events of the S phase? New DNA is synthesized when the chromosomes are replicated. At the end of this phase the cell contains twice as much DNA as it did at the beginning.
What are the main events of the G 2 phase? Shortest of the three phases of interphase. Many of the organelles and molecules required for cell division are produced. At the end of this phase the cell is ready to divide.
What are the main events of the M phase? In eukaryotes, cell division occurs in two stages: mitosis and cytokinesis. Mitosis is the division of the cell nucleus. Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm.
How do cells regulate the cell cycle? Cancer is a disorder in which some of the body s cells lose the ability to control growth. Checkpoints are biological stoplights telling the cell if it can safely go or when to stop and fix a problem. G 1 checkpoint makes sure the cell is large enough to enter the S phase. G 2 checkpoint makes sure the DNA is completely replicated, that replication errors have been repaired, and the cell is large enough to replicate. M checkpoint make sure the chromosomes are aligned on the spindle ready for nuclear division.
What are some important cell structures involved in mitosis? 1. Chromosome: Package of DNA containing genetic information 2. Chromatid: Each strand of a duplicated chromosome 3. Centromere: The area where each pair of chromatids is joined 4. Centrioles: Tiny structures located in the cytoplasm of animal cells that help organize the spindle 5. Spindle: Fanlike microtubule structure that helps separate the chromatids
What are the main events of prophase? First phase of mitosis. Chromatin condense into chromosomes.
What are the main events of prophase? First phase of mitosis. Chromatin condense into chromosomes. Centrioles move to opposite sides of nucleus.
What are the main events of prophase? First phase of mitosis. Chromatin condense into chromosomes. Centrioles move to opposite sides of nucleus. Spindle forms. DNA strands attach at a point called their centromere.
What are the main events of prophase? First phase of mitosis. Chromatin condense into chromosomes. Centrioles move to opposite sides of nucleus. Spindle forms. DNA strands attach at a point called their centromere. Nucleolus disappears Nuclear envelope breaks down.
What are the main events of metaphase? Second phase of mitosis. Centromeres of the duplicated chromosomes line up across the center of the cell.
What are the main events of metaphase? Second phase of mitosis. Centromeres of the duplicated chromosomes line up across the center of the cell. Each chromosome is connected to spindle fiber at its centromere.
What are the main events of anaphase? Third phase of mitosis. Sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes.
What are the main events of anaphase? Third phase of mitosis. Sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes. Chromosomes separate into two groups near the poles of the spindle.
What are the main events of telophase? Fourth and final phase of mitosis. Chromosomes spread out into a tangle of chromatin.
What are the main events of telophase? Fourth and final phase of mitosis. Chromosomes spread out into a tangle of chromatin. A nuclear envelope re-forms around each cluster of chromosomes.
What are the main events of telophase? Fourth and final phase of mitosis. Chromosomes spread out into a tangle of chromatin. A nuclear envelope re-forms around each cluster of chromosomes. The spindle breaks apart. A nucleolus becomes visible in each daughter nucleus.
What is cytokinesis? Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm. Cytokinesis completes the process of cell division by splitting one cell into two. The process of cytokinesis is different in animal and plant cells.
What is cytokinesis? Animal Cells Plant Cells The cell membrane is drawn in until the cytoplasm is pinched into two equal parts. Each part contains its own nucleus and organelles. In plants, the cell membrane is not flexible enough to draw inward because of the rigid cell wall. Instead, a cell plate forms between the divided nuclei that develops into cell membranes. A cell wall then forms in between the two new membranes.
What are some important facts about mitosis? 1. Nucleus of a cell divides into two nuclei. 2. Takes place in somatic, or body cells. 3. Maintains the number of chromosomes. 4. Results in two diploid, genetically identical daughter cells. 5. Does not increase genetic diversity 6. Used by many prokaryotes and protists as a form of reproduction (binary fission or asexual reproduction).
Race car Event Get into 4 even teams: Pick a color: Orange/ Green/ Black/ Purple. Let s see what team will win the race.
The Mitosis Drama. Select 16 students to pair up as sister chromatids. Each pair should hold a book between them as a centromere.. Choose three more pair of students, and give each pair a 20-foot piece of string.. Have the students act out mitosis by calling out prophase. Students should move around.. Have the students act out mitosis by calling out metaphase. The eight pairs should line up across the room. Have the students act out mitosis by calling out anaphase. Pairs set the book on the floors, move two opposite ends of the room, and then move about.. Have the students act out mitosis by calling out telophase. Two pairs of students with string should surround each group of eight with their nuclear membrane string.. Have the students act out mitosis by calling out cytokinesis. The final pair of students with string should stretch their string between two cells to show cytoplasmic division.
Independent Practice DIRECTIONS: Mitosis Concept Map Match the picture of the phase to the name: when you are finished call the teacher so she can make sure you are correct. Then draw it on the concept map provided in the order found in mitosis. Then, in the box provided, describe what is happening at each stage. Your explanations must include the words: nuclear membrane, chromosomes, sister chromatids, spindles, centrioles, centromeres in every box. Underline your answers.
