Cell Cycle

Cell Life Cycle

G1 Phase

  • Cell Growth

  • Part of interphase

G1 Phase

S Phase

  • Synthesis
  • DNA is replicated
  • Now we have 2 copies of every chromosome

S Phase

Still part of Interphase

Still Part of Interphase

  • Interphase has 3 stages, this is the second one

Cell is doing cell stuff

G2 Phase

  • Final Prep for cell divsion
  • Still Part of Interphase

G2 Phase

Mitosis

Mitosis

  • Actual Process of cell division
  • Makes 2 identical Daughter cells
  • These two cells will then go on to start their own life cycles

Prophase

  • Chromosomes become visible

  • Centrioles (organelles that help with cell division) move to opposite ends of the cell

  • Nuclear membrane starts to break down

Metaphase

  • Chromosomes line up at the center of the cell
  • Microtubules extend from the centrioles and attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes

Metaphase

Anaphase

Anaphase

  • Microtubules pull at the centromeres of the chromosomes, splitting them into two
  • Chromosomes are then pulled in opposite directions toward the centrioles

Telophase

Telophase

  • Chromosomes unravel again

  • Nuclear membrane reforms

  • Left with one really big weird-shaped cell with two nuclei

Cytokinesis

  • Kind of it's own thing, but a HUGE part of cell division

  • Large, weird-shaped cell splits into two identical daughter cells

Cytokinesis

Why do our cells divide?

Why do our Cells Divide?

  • Growth
  • Cells don't work correctly when they get too big
  • Repair
  • Damage to your body needs to be repaired by creating new cells
