Presentation Transcript

  1. Mitosis The Process of Cellular Asexual Reproduction

  2. Asexual Reproduction • Asexual reproduction occurs when there is only one parent or parent cell. • Mitosis (cell division) • Binary Fission (bacteria and protist division) • Budding (yeast and hydra) • Spore formation (mold and fungus) • Regeneration (regrowth of lost body part) • Vegetative Reproduction (bulbs, tubers, runners, rhizomes and grafting)

  3. The Cell Cycle • Mitosis: cell divides • Interphase consists of G1, S and G2 • G1: growth, synthesis of proteins and organelles • S: chromosomes are replicated, DNA synthesis • G2: preparation for mitosis

  4. Parts of a Chromosome • During interphase the DNA is replicated. • During mitosis the DNA condenses into visible structures called chromosomes. • Each chromosome consists of two identical “chromatids” • The centromere connects the two chromatids.

  5. Prophase Centrioles • Structures called centrioles appear and move to opposite sides of the cell • Fibers begin to connect each centriole to the centromere of each chromosome • Nuclear membrane disappears Spindle Fibers

  6. Metaphase • Fibers now connect the centromeres of each chromosome to the centrioles at each side of the cell • The chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell

  7. Anaphase • The centromeres connecting each pair of chromatids separate. • The fibers pull the chromosomes apart to opposite sides of the cell

  8. Telophase • Fibers separate from the chromosomes • Chromosomes unravel • A nuclear membrane forms around each new set of chromosomes

  9. Cytokinesis • Cell membrane pinches together separating the cytoplasm and organelles into two new individual daughter cells.

  10. Mitosis and Chromosome Number • A human skin cell has 46 chromosomes • At the end of mitosis each daughter cell has 46 chromosomes • Why is mitosis an example of asexual reproduction?
