If cancer is uncontrolled cell division…why would a cell divide in the first place? Brainstorm a list of reasons a cell would divide.
DNA “overload” Trouble exchanging materials Repair an injury Replace old worn out cells Asexual reproduction Organism = growth Why would a cell divide?
The Cell Cycle The series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide.

Most cells are able to divide… But some cannot, like: Most nerve cells Brain cells Heart cells Blood cells Where does cell division occur?
Cut out your cells and place them in chronological order. Glue them in your notebook once you have approval.
What is the end product of mitosis?
Steps of the cell cycle
Stop and think: why would it be important to do this each time? Step One: copy the DNA
Step Two: Split the DNA equally between the 2 cells
Step three: Split the cell’s contents
Life Cycle of a Cell
Before a growing cell becomes too large it divides The division results in two essentially identical cells called “daughter cells”.
Prior to division the cell replicates all of its DNA. Replication solves the problem of information storage, each daughter cell receives its own genetic information
Why would it be important that the cell copies itself before dividing? ? ? What would happen if a cell split into two without copying itself? Would both sides survive?
Phases of Mitosis
In interphase the DNA in the nucleus is in a loose stringy form called chromatin DNA replication takes place, copying itself to get ready for mitosis Interphase
During prophase chromosomes become visible, centrioles take position on opposite sides of the nucleus Nucleus disappears and the nuclear envelope breaks down Prophase
Chromosomes begin to line up across the center of the cell Each chromosome is now connected to a spindle fiber at its centromere Metaphase
The centromeres that join the sister chromotids separate creating two individual chromosomes Chromosomes continue to move until the have separated into two groups near the poles of the spindle Anaphase
The chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell Chromosomes begin to lose their distinct shape Two new nuclear membranes form Telophase
Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm Occurs at same time as telophase (not a different step in mitosis) Done a little different in plant and animal cells Cytokinesis
Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase
