Warm-Up (11/7) Explain the importance of DNA replication. Last Tuesday’s Picture UNIT 3B The Cell Cycle UNIT 3C UNIT The Cell Cycle 3C The cell cycle produces an identical daughter cell. original plus a “daughter” cell original cell UNIT The Cell Cycle The cell cycle produces an identical daughter cell. Most cells are constantly in the cell cycle. 3C Hair follicle cells, for example. The Cell Cycle The cell cycle produces an identical daughter cell. Most cells are constantly in the cell cycle. Interphase is the longest stage, consisting of: • Growth (G1) • DNA replication (S) • Preparation for mitosis (G2) UNIT 3C The Cell Cycle The cell cycle produces an identical daughter cell. Most cells are constantly in the cell cycle. Interphase is the longest stage, consisting of: • Growth (G1) • DNA replication (S) • Preparation for mitosis (G2) Mitosis follows interphase to separate the DNA into two cells. UNIT 3C UNIT The Cell Cycle The cell cycle produces an identical daughter cell. 3C 5 phases of mitosis: • Nucleus breaks down and DNA condenses into chromosomes (prophase). Most cells are constantly in the cell cycle. Interphase is the longest stage, consisting of: • Growth (G1) • DNA replication (S) • Preparation for mitosis (G2) Mitosis follows interphase to separate the DNA into two cells. PRO UNIT The Cell Cycle The cell cycle produces an identical daughter cell. 3C 5 phases of mitosis: • Nucleus breaks down and DNA condenses into chromosomes (prophase). • Chromosomes line up in the middle (metaphase). Most cells are constantly in the cell cycle. Interphase is the longest stage, consisting of: • Growth (G1) • DNA replication (S) • Preparation for mitosis (G2) Mitosis follows interphase to separate the DNA into two cells. PRO META UNIT The Cell Cycle The cell cycle produces an identical daughter cell. Most cells are constantly in the cell cycle. Interphase is the longest stage, consisting of: • Growth (G1) • DNA replication (S) • Preparation for mitosis (G2) Mitosis follows interphase to separate the DNA into two cells. 3C 5 phases of mitosis: • Nucleus breaks down and DNA condenses into chromosomes (prophase). • Chromosomes line up in the middle (metaphase). • Chromosomes pull apart (anaphase). PRO META ANA UNIT The Cell Cycle The cell cycle produces an identical daughter cell. Most cells are constantly in the cell cycle. Interphase is the longest stage, consisting of: • Growth (G1) • DNA replication (S) • Preparation for mitosis (G2) Mitosis follows interphase to separate the DNA into two cells. 3C 5 phases of mitosis: • Nucleus breaks down and DNA condenses into chromosomes (prophase). • Chromosomes line up in the middle (metaphase). • Chromosomes pull apart (anaphase). • Nuclei reform (telophase). PRO META ANA TELO UNIT The Cell Cycle The cell cycle produces an identical daughter cell. Most cells are constantly in the cell cycle. Interphase is the longest stage, consisting of: • Growth (G1) • DNA replication (S) • Preparation for mitosis (G2) Mitosis follows interphase to separate the DNA into two cells. 3C 5 phases of mitosis: • Nucleus breaks down and DNA condenses into chromosomes (prophase). • Chromosomes line up in the middle (metaphase). • Chromosomes pull apart (anaphase). • Nuclei reform (telophase). • Cells physically pinch apart from each other (cytokinesis).

UNIT The Cell Cycle 3C In summary… 4n 2n 4n 2n 2n Guided Practice UNIT 3C • Draw a graph of a cell dividing over four generations and label growth, synthesis and preparation stages of interphase; mitosis; and cytokinesis (LO 3.8) • Draw a graph of a cell dividing over time with an increased cell cycle rate or decreased cell cycle rate (LO 3.7) UNIT CTQ #1 3C Describe how a graph of DNA levels per cell would look over four generations. (LO 3.8) CTQ #2 Predict the amount of DNA present in a cell after 3 cycles of the cell cycle if it lost the ability to undergo cytokinesis. (LO 3.7) Closure Epithelial skin cells are some of the fastest-dividing cells in the human body, which means that they complete and reenter the cell cycle more quickly than most other cell types. Predict what would happen if a person was scratched on the arm, killing approximately 10,000 cells from the surface of that person’s skin, and justify your answer. (LO 3.7)
