THE CELL
CYCLE
The Life Cycle of a cell : includes Growth,
Development, and Reproduction
Importance of Cell
Division
Growth of Organism
Repair
Reproduction for some
organisms
Phases of the Cell Cycle
1. Interphase
Growth and normal functions (G1)
DNA replicates – makes a copy of
itself (S)
Sister chromatids are held together
by the centromere
Organelle replication
Interphase
2. Mitosis
Prophase
DNA condenses forming
chromosomes
Nuclear membrane breaks down
Spindle fibers form between
centrioles
Prophase
Mitosis continued
Metaphase
Replicated chromosomes line up
across the middle of the cell
Chromosomes attach to the
spindle fibers at the centromere,
which is still holding the
chromatids together
Metaphase
Mitosis continued
Anaphase
Spindle fibers pull the two
chromatids in opposite
directions causing the
centromere to split
Chromatids move to opposite
sides
Cell becomes stretched
Annaphase
Mitosis continued
Telophase
Chromatid unwind forming
chromatin
New nuclear membrane
forms around each set of
chromatin
Telophase
Cell cycle
3. Cytokinesis
Cell membrane pinches together
forming two cells
Cell plate form in plant cells ,
eventually forms cell membrane
and wall
Cytokinesis
Results of Cell Division
Parent cell no longer exists
Two daughter cells with
identical DNA to the parent
cell form
