How do little elephants grow up to be BIG elephants?

By making more cells.

DNA

Because DNA stores genetic information and is replicated to pass information from cell-to-cell and generation-to- generation.

Why is DNA important?

Cell Division

1.Replication2.Mitosis3. Cytokinesis

Why do cells need to divide?

Why do cells need to divide?

1.To make new cells (if you are injured or growing)

2.Pass on your genes to next generation (sex)

Cell Cycle

1. Interphase

2. Prophase

3. Metaphase

4. Anaphase

5. Telophase

6. Cytokinesis

Which phases are part of mitosis?

Cell CycleWhich cycle is the longest?

Interphase

Interphase occurs before mitosis begins

• Chromosomes are __________ (# doubles)• Chromosomes appear as threadlike coils

(chromatin) at the start, but each chromosome and its copy(sister chromosome) change to sister chromatids at end of this phase

InterphaseInterphaseAnimal Cell Plant Cell

What happens to the chromosomes during Interphase? The chromosomes double

INTERPHASE

DNA is replicated.

•During DNA replication the DNA separates into two strands and produces two new complementary strands. •Remember A binds to ___ and C binds to ___. T G

INTERPHASE

DNA is packed into ______________ after replication.

chromatin

duplicatedchromosome

Chromosomes

Chromosomes that are duplicated during Interphase are called?

INTERPHASEDNA condensed into visible Chromosomes

95% of the time DNA looks like this in the _________. Nucleus

Prophase 1st step in Mitosis

• Mitosis begins (cell begins to divide)

• ____________ (or poles) appear and begin to move to opposite end of the cell.

• Spindle fibers form between the poles.

TELOPHASE

_____________occurs after mitosis

• Cell membrane moves inward to create two

daughter cells – each with its own nucleus with identical chromosomes.

CYTOKINESIS

Cell Cycle

Why does the cell cycle precisely divide the duplicated chromosomes into two?

interphase prophase

metaphase

To make each new cell identical with a complete set of genetic instructions.

Mitosis Precisely and Evenly Divides Duplicated Chromosomes

Is cytokinesis part of mitosis? No, neither is Interphase.

Mitosis in Action

What is the Blue stuff?

DNA

Cancer Progression• There are many different forms of cancer, affecting

different cell types and working in different ways. All start out with mutations in specific genes called “oncogenes”. The normal, unmutated versions of the oncogenes provide the control mechanisms for the cell. The mutations are caused by radiation, certain chemicals (carcinogens), and various random events during DNA replication.

• Once a single cell starts growing uncontrollably, it forms a tumor, a small mass of cells. No further progress can occur unless the cancerous mass gets its own blood supply. “Angiogenesis” is the process of developing a system of small arteries and veins to supply the tumor. Most tumors don’t reach this stage.

• A tumor with a blood supply will grow into a large mass. Eventually some of the cancer cells will break loose and move through the blood supply to other parts of the body, where they start to multiply. This process is called metastasis. It occurs because the tumor cells lose the proteins on their surface that hold them to other cells.
