Limits to Cell Growth
There are two main reasons why cells divide rather than continue to grow indefinitely.
As a cell grows larger…1. More demand is placed on the DNA to create more
cell parts.2. It becomes harder to move enough nutrients in and
wastes out of the cell membrane.
*
Cell CycleDuring the cell cycle a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form two daughter cells.
Interphase is the time between cell division. ● G1 (cell growth).● S phase is when DNA is copied.● G2 (cell growth).

Cell Division
Mitosis is the process of a cell dividing to form two identical daughter cells.Before dividing a cell replicates all of its DNA so that each daughter cell will get a complete set of “genetic information”.
*
Stages of Mitosis
*
Mitosis
Biologists divide the events of mitosis into four phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
How long does mitosis take?Typically mitosis takes about 80 minutes in eukaryotic cells. Depending on cell type mitosis may last anywhere from a several minutes, to several days.
*
Chromosomes
A chromosome is a compact form of DNA that is visible only during cell division.A chromatid is one of two identical parts of a duplicated chromosome.
*
*
Chromatids
The centromere is the part of a chromosomes where two sister chromatids are connected.A kinetochore is a protein structure that forms at the centromere of DNA during mitosis.
*
The spindle is a microfilament structure that separates chromosomes during cellular division. The centrioles are microtubule structures that organize the spindle during cellular division.

Prophase
Prophase is the first and longest phase of mitosis.● The DNA condenses into chromosomes.● The nucleolus disappears● The nuclear envelope breaks down.
*
Prometaphase
Prometaphase is an intermediate step after prophase, but before metaphase.
● Centrioles separate and take up positions on opposite sides of the nucleus.
● Spindle fibers emerge from the centrioles and connect to the chromatids.
*
Metaphase
Metaphase is the second phase of mitosis.● Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.● Spindle fibers connect the kinetochore of each
chromatid to the centrioles.
Meta means “middle”
*
Anaphase
Anaphase is the third phase of mitosis.● Sister chromatids separate.● Chromosomes are pulled to opposite ends of the
cell.● Anaphase ends when the chromosomes stop
moving.
*
Telophase
Telophase is the fourth phase of mitosis.● The nuclear envelope re-forms. ● The chromosomes unwind back into chromatin. ● The nucleolus becomes visible again.
*
Cytokinesis
Cytokinesis is the splitting of the cell, which usually occurs at the same time as telophase.In animal cells, cytokinesis results when a protein ring called actin contracts pinching the cell into two daughter cells.

Animal Cell Cytokinesis

Plant Cell Cytokinesis
In plant cells, a rigid cell wall requires that a cell plate be built between the two daughter cells.
