Producing New Cells
Learning Intentions
1. Why do cells need to make new copies of themselves?
2. What is found inside the nucleus?3. What are the stages in the
process of cell division?
1. Why do cells divide?
Cells have to divide soorganisms can:-
1. Grow
2. Repair cells(e.g.broken bones, wounds)
2. Cells Dividing
1. Parent Cell2. Nucleus (containing genetic information) divides into 23. Cytoplasm divides into 24. Two new cells (identical to the parent cell) are formed
Why do you think it is so important that the nucleus divides properly?
3. What is inside the nucleus?
The nucleus contains thread-like structures called chromosomes
Chromosomes are made up of 2 chromatids joined together.
Chromosomes contain important genetic information.
4. Chromosome Complement
The characteristic number of chromosomes that certain organisms
should have is called the “Chromosome Complement”

5. Diploid and Haploid Cells
Human body cells have 46 chromosomes (2 sets of chromosomes)
and are called Diploid Cells
Human gametes (sperm/eggs) have 23 chromsomes (1 set of
chromosomes) and are called Haploid Cells
Human Body Cells Human Gametes (sex cells)
46 chromosomes 23 chromosomes2 sets of chromosomes in each cell 1 set of chromosomes
Diploid (2 sets) Haploid (1 set)
6. Mitosis
Mitosis is the process of Cell Division
The stages in Mitosis are:-Stage 1 Parent Cell chromosomes are copiedStage 2 Chromosomes become visibleStage 3 Chromosomes line up at equatorStage 4 Chromatids are pulled apart to either pole by spindle fibresStage 5 Parent cell divides to produce 2 new cells identical to
parent cell
Mitosis ensures that the new cells contain the same number and type of chromosomes
(the chromosome complement) so the new cells can develop and function properlymitosis glow video You Tube Mitosis animationBitesize animation Its Playdoh Time!!
7. Uncontrolled Cell DivisionNormal cell division (mitosis)
is carefully controlled so new
cellsdevelop properly.
Abnormal uncontrolled cell division (mitosis) can lead to different types of cancerswhat is cancer -glow video
Stem Cells Learning Intentions
4. State the role of stem cells
5. State the role of meristems
8a) Stem Cells
Stem cells are cells that have the potential to develop into any type of cell
Video Clip - “A Stem Cell Story” at www.eurostemcell.org/films
8 b) Stem Cells have 2 roles
Stem cells are different from other cells of the body because stem cells can:
1.SELF-RENEW (Make copies of themselves) AND 2.Differentiate (Make other types of cells)
2c) Stem Cell Facts
1. Stem cells are found in all plants and animals
2. Stem cells are produced by cell division
3. Stem cells have the potential to develop into any type of cell
4. Stem Cells are involved in growth and repair and can be used to grow many different types of cells, tissues, organs
5. In animals cell division occurs all over the body
6. In plants cell division only occurs in structures called meristemsStem Cell video clip (3:13)
8d) Stem Cells & Medical Treatments
Activity Cards - EuroStem
8e) Different Types of Stem Cells
There are 2 different types of STEM CELLS:-1.Tissue Stem Cells (also called Adult Stem Cells)2.Embryonic Stem Cells
8f) Where do we find Embryonic Stem Cells?
8g) Where do we find Tissue Stem Cells?
8h) Stem Cells: A controversial topicA controversial topic, is a topic that people will disagree about.
Embryonic Stem Cells cause the most arguments and disagreements.Arguments FOR the use of Embryonic Stem Cells• Embryonic Stem Cells can develop into ANY type of cell so they are the most
useful type of stem cell• Stem cells can be used to make cells you need, test drugs, understand
diseases, develop new medicines,• Embryonic Stem Cells can be used to save the lives• The embryos used for Stem Cell Research are from embryos that are no longer
needed for IVF Treatments for couples trying to have babies. Once fertilisation is successful, there are spare embryos, and the couple have 3 choices:-1) Destroy the embryos2) Donate embryos to another couple3) Donate embryos to scientific research on STEM CELLS
Arguments AGAINST the use of Embryonic Stem Cells• Embryos could eventually become babies, so some people believe that
scientists are destroying a human life when they use these embryos for research.
• Needs much more research before we understand full implications of this procedure.

9a) Mitosis & BiotechnologyCell Production by Cell CulturesIn Biotechnology, humans can artificially producenew cells by creating cell cultures.
Cell cultures are when cells are taken out of a living organism and grown in a Lab using aseptic techniques.
The cells can be used for research, Drugs and Tissue therapy to help patients (e.g. Growing new skin cells for burns sufferers or growing new strains of carrots that can survive in areas of drought)
Cells that can develop into other types of cells are called STEM CELLS

CELL CULTURES
9c) Mitosis & Biotechnology
Cell Production by Cell Cultures
In order to produce new cells by cell culture, there must be:-
- Aseptic techniques used- An appropriate growth medium- Control of factors e.g. temperature, pH
Cell cultures are used for many applications e.g. skin grafts, medical research, disease resistant plants
Practical – Cauliflower Cloning
CELL CULTURES
10. Meristems1. Cell division in plants only occurs in meristems
2. Stem cells found in the meristems have the potential to develop into any type of plant cell e.g. xylem, phloem, palisade mesophyll cells
3. Apical meristems are found at the root and shoot tips.
Apical meristems increase the length of a plant.
4. Lateral meristems are made of cambium which is found in the vascular bundles between the xylem and phloem
Lateral meristems increase in the girth (thickness) of the plant; this process leads to the formation of annual rings.
