How do little elephants grow up to
be BIG elephants?
By making more cells.
DNA
Why is DNA important?
Because DNA stores
genetic information and is
replicated to pass
information from cell-tocell and generation-togeneration.
Cell
Division
1. Replication
2. Mitosis
3. Cytokinesis
Why do cells
need to divide?
Why do cells need to divide?
1.To make new cells (if you are
injured or growing)
2.Pass on your genes to next
generation (sex)
Cell Cycle
Which phases are part of mitosis?
1. Interphase
2. Prophase
3. Metaphase
4. Anaphase
5. Telophase
6. Cytokinesis
Which
cycle is the
longest?
Interphase
Cell Cycle
Interphase
occurs before mitosis begins
• Chromosomes are __________
copied (# doubles)
• Chromosomes appear as threadlike coils
(chromatin) at the start, but each chromosome and
its copy(sister chromosome) change to sister
chromatids at end of this phase

What happens to the
chromosomes during Interphase?
The chromosomes double
INTERPHASE
DNA is replicated.
•During DNA replication
the DNA separates into
two strands and produces
two new complementary
strands.
•Remember A binds to
T and C binds to ___.

INTERPHASE
duplicated
chromosome
chromatin
DNA is packed into
______________
Chromosomes after replication.
Chromosomes that are duplicated during
Interphase are called?
INTERPHASE
DNA condensed into visible Chromosomes
95% of the time DNA looks like this in the
_________.
Nucleus
Prophase
1st step in Mitosis
• Mitosis begins (cell begins to divide)
• ____________
Centrioles (or poles) appear and begin to move
to opposite end of the cell.
• Spindle fibers form between the poles.

CYTOKINESIS
_____________
occurs after mitosis
• Cell membrane moves inward to create two
daughter cells – each with its own nucleus with
identical chromosomes.
Cytokinesis

Why does the cell cycle precisely divide
the duplicated chromosomes into two?
To make each new cell identical with
a complete set of genetic instructions.
Mitosis Precisely and Evenly Divides Duplicated Chromosomes
Is cytokinesis part of mitosis?
No, neither is Interphase.

Cancer Progression
•
•
•
There are many different forms of cancer, affecting
different cell types and working in different ways. All start
out with mutations in specific genes called “oncogenes”.
The normal, unmutated versions of the oncogenes provide
the control mechanisms for the cell. The mutations are
caused by radiation, certain chemicals (carcinogens), and
various random events during DNA replication.
Once a single cell starts growing uncontrollably, it forms a
tumor, a small mass of cells. No further progress can occur
unless the cancerous mass gets its own blood supply.
“Angiogenesis” is the process of developing a system of
small arteries and veins to supply the tumor. Most tumors
don’t reach this stage.
A tumor with a blood supply will grow into a large mass.
Eventually some of the cancer cells will break loose and
move through the blood supply to other parts of the body,
where they start to multiply. This process is called
metastasis. It occurs because the tumor cells lose the
proteins on their surface that hold them to other cells.
