 Identify
and restate what the
phases of the eukaryotic cell
cycle are.
 Restate what happens in each
stage of the cycle.
Cell cycle
 Interphase
 Mitosis
 Cytokinesis

Cell are the basic unit of structure and function
for life.
 Once life is established, its existence is on a
clock, winding down.

Eventually, all cells meet their
demise.
There has to be a mechanism to
keep cells persisting in nature
however.
Reproduction is one mechanism.
Cell division is the most basic form.
This is what your next unit is about.

You will learn that a cell does a lot
throughout its life.
 Makes proteins, duplicates its DNA, lives.

You will also learn that a cell goes through
division for three main reasons:
› To replace old or…
› To repair damaged tissue or…
› To allow an organism to grow.
This process of cell division doesn’t happen
randomly as you can expect.
 It is highly regulated, cyclical, and has distinct
features.
 As such, there are five main stages of the cell
cycle during a cell’s life that you must know,
during each of which specific things happen.

These stages of a cell’s life make up what
is called the cell cycle.
 The cell cycle is a repeating sequence of
cellular growth and division during the life
of a cell.
 Your job today is to discover what these
five stages are and identify the main
process that happens during each of
these stages.

Work in pairs.
 1 book per pair.
 Work with books in partners.

Illustrate the cell cycle on a
piece of copy paper. These will
go into your notebooks but will
be for a grade. Check them off
with me for credit.

Use the drawing on page ______
(Cell Cycle) as your basis for your
poster. Use the pages of the
book to help describe the steps.
Each Step of the cell cycle must
be correctly described and
illustrated on your poster.
For each step you must include
at least 3 bullet points describing
the step and 1 drawing.
For Synthesis you must describe
the purpose of replication.
For Mitosis you must label the
goal.
Use color and check your
grammar.
