Cell Cycle 1 1
Three reasons why cells reproduce by asexual reproduction: 1. Growth 2. Repair 3. Replacement Skin cancer - the abnormal growth of skin cells - most often develops on skin exposed to the sun. Cell that reproduce by asexual reproduction reproduce constantly.
Animated Cell Cycle http: //www. cellsalive. com/mitosis. htm • Interphase • Prophase • Metaphase • Anaphase • Telophase & Cytokinesis
Stage 1 - Interphase Longest part of cell life Cell carries out normal activities DNA in long strands called chromatin Centrioles as a pair
Late Interphase Chromatin doubles to form chromosomes (# doubles) • Other cell parts also double • Editing of DNA to repair errors • Centrioles Nucleus CELL MEMBRANE Cytoplasm

Stage II- Mitosis Phase # 1 - Prophase Chromosomes coil and become visible • Centrioles (or poles) appear and begin to move to opposite end of the cell. Spindle fibers form between the poles. • Nuclear membrane disappears. • Sister chromatids Centrioles Spindle fibers

Phase # 2 - Metaphase • Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell on the spindle fibers. Centrioles Spindle fibers

Phase # 3 - Anaphase • Chromatids (or halves of chromosomes) separate and begin to move to opposite ends of the cell. Centrioles Spindle fibers

Phase # 4 - Telophase Chromatids finish separating. • Nuclear membrane reforms • Chromatids unwind and become chromatin. • Nuclei Chromatin Nuclei

STAGE III - Cytokinesis Cytoplasm and cell organelles divide evenly • Two new cells are formed •
