Cell Theory
Cells are the basic unit of structure for all living organisms, and all cells come from other cells.

In eukaryotes, cell division occurs in two major stages.
The first stage, division of the cell nucleus, is called mitosis.
The second stage, division of the cell cytoplasm, is called cytokinesis.

Slide 4 of 38
New cells are identical to old ones
1. Instructions for making new cells are found in the DNA
2. When DNA is replicated, the new cell gets the exact copy of the DNA.
3. We say that the “parent” cell produces 2 identical “daughter” cells.

Chromosomes
Genetic information is passed from one generation to the next on chromosomes.
Before cell division, each chromosome is duplicated, or copied.
1.Called chromatin when not dividing
2.Duplicated chromosomes are called chromatids

Chromosomes
Each chromosome consists of two identical “sister” chromatids.
Each pair of chromatids is attached at an area called the centromere.

Chromosomes
How many chromosomes are in the nucleus?
1.Humans have 23 pairs or 46 chromosomes.
2.Karyotype- a picture of chromosomes where they are arranged by size and pair.
a.First 22 pairs are called autosomes
b.Last pair is called sex cells
i. female= XX
ii. Male = XY

Chromosomes
When the cell divides, the chromatids separate.
Each new cell gets one chromatid.

Mitosis
Mitosis- the division of the nucleus
1.Is the process body cells reproducing asexually
2.Has 4 stages Prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

The Cell Cycle
The Cell Cycle
The cell cycle is the series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide.
Interphase is the period of growth that occurs between cell divisions.

The Cell Cycle
During the cell cycle:
• a cell grows
• prepares for division
• divides to form two daughter cells, each of which begins the cycle again

The Cell Cycle
The cell cycle consists of four phases:
• G1 (First Gap Phase)
• S Phase
• G2 (Second Gap Phase)

Cytokinesis
During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm pinches in half.
Each daughter cell has an identical set of duplicate chromosomes.

Cytokinesis
In plants, a structure known as the cell plate forms midway between the divided nuclei.

Cytokinesis
The cell plate gradually develops into a separating membrane.
A cell wall then begins to appear in the cell plate.
