Explore the phases of the cell cycle - Interphase, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis. Learn about the stages within each phase and the significance of cell division for growth and tissue repair. Discover the process in detail and implications of uncontrolled cell division in cancer development.

The Cell Cycle How cells divide to make new cells
In somatic (body) cells, a parent cell produces 2 daughter cells.The purpose of cell division is for growth and repair of tissue.
Three Phases or Stages Interphase Mitosis Cytokinesis
Interphase • DNA and organelles replicate • Cell spends most of its life in this stage
Stages of Interphase G1 (growth) normal activities – endo & exo S (synthesis) genetic material is duplicated so each daughter cell contains the same amount of genetic material as the parent cell G2 (growth) preparing for cell division
Mitosis • Nucleus divides • Duplicated DNA is divided into two new nuclei
Stages of Mitosis Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase
Prophase • Nuclear membrane breaks down • Genetic material (chromatin) condenses • Centrioles migrate to opposite ends of poles (in animal cells) • Microtubules (spindle fibers) attach to centrioles
Metaphase • Duplicated chromosomes line up on the equator of the cell • Microtubules (spindle fibers) attach to centromere at kinetochore
Anaphase • Duplicated chromosomes (also called sister chromotids) separate • 1 of each pair are pulled apart toward opposite poles of the cell
Telophase • New nuclear membranes form to separate the genetic material • Cleavage furrow in animal cells • Cell plate in plant cells
Cytokinesis • Occurs AFTER telophase and BEFORE interphase • Cytoplasm divides
What happens when cells divide at an uncontrollable rate? CANCER
Causes of Cancer • Tobacco • Radiation exposure • Viral infections (HPV) • Genetics
