Learning Objectives:
Characterize the phases that a normal cell
undergo
Demonstrate understanding in the process of
cell division
Illustrate the events of cell cycle
Compare and contrast each phase
Overview:
Definition of Cell Cycle
Why do cells need to undergo cell cycle process
Stages of Cell Cycle
What is Cell Cycle?
Can be thought as the life
cycle of the cell
It is an ordered series of
events involving cell growth
and development steps a
cell undergoes to make two
new daughter cells
It is a cycle rather than a
linear pathway
Why do cells have to undergo
Cell Cycle process?
For growth
For cell differentiation
For repair and healing of damaged tissues
For replication of genetic materials
For reproduction of species
??????
�Phase
First Gap Phase
Cell increases in volume
Cell preparing all the
chemicals necessary for
DNA synthesis
Duplication of organelles
Centrioles Chromatin
Nuclear
envelope
Plasma
membrane
Nucleolus
S Phase
Synthesis Phase
There is an active synthesis
of histones
Genetic material of each
chromosome is replicated
Centrioles Chromatin
Nuclear
envelope
Plasma
membrane
Nucleolus
??????
�Phase
Second Gap
Start of mitotic spindle
formation
Chromatin fiber starts to
fold to form a chromosome
Forming mitotic spindle Centrioles
Chromosome,
consisting of two
sister chromatids
Centromere
M Phase
Cell division proper
Dividing phase
It is a multistep process for
the formation of two new
identical daughter cells
Can be divided into two
types
Cell Division
Meiosis Mitosis
??????
??????Phase
Cells in ??????
?????? phase are not actively preparing to
divide
There has to be an external signal to trigger the
onset of first gap phase
Cell Division: Mitosis
Mitosis
Also known as karyokinesis
Divided into a series of
phases: PMAT
Prophase
Chromatin condenses to form chromosomes
Chromosomes thickened and become shortened
Centrioles are duplicated
Nuclear envelope breaks down
Prophase
Forming
mitotic
spindle
Centrioles
Chromosome,
consisting of two
sister chromatids
Centromere
Fragments of
nuclear envelope
Spindle
pole
Spindle
microtubules
Centromere
Metaphase
Centrioles are on the
opposite ends of the nucleus
nuclear envelope is
completely absent
Chromosomes are
completely attached to the
spindle fibers and move
toward the equator
Metaphase plate
Sister chromatids
Spindle
Anaphase
Sister chromatids start to
separate
Two identical sets of
chromosomes move toward
the opposite poles
Spindle fibers begins to
disappear
Daughter
chromosomes
Telophase
Chromosomes in there
respective poles
becomes enclosed in a
nuclear membrane
Nuclear membrane
forms
Start of cytokinesis
Nucleolus
forming
Cleavage
furrow
Nuclear
envelope
forming
Cytokinesis
The cytoplasm of the cell split into two, making
two new cells
pinch the cells into two parts
Cell Division: Meiosis
Meiosis
Type of cell division in which the chromosomes
number of the daughter cell is reduced into half
Composed of two successive cell division
Meiosis
Meiosis II Meiosis I
Reduction Division
Homologous Chromosomes
come in pair
Composed of four (4) stages
Equational Division
Sister chromatids of each
chromosomes separate
leading to the formation of
four (4) mature sex cells
Composed of four (4) stages
Prophase I
There are five events taking place in this phase
L Z P D D
Leptotene
Almost similar
to the early
stage of
prophase in
mitosis
Zygotene
Synapsis
occurs
forming
TETRADS
Pachytene
Crossing over
Diplotene
Disintegration
of nuclear
envelope
Diakinesis
Formation of
spindle fibers
Spindle fibers
starts to be
attached to
the tetrads
Metaphase I
Nuclear membrane
completely disintegrated
Spindle fibers are now
completely attached to the
tetrads
Tetrads move to the
metaphase plate
Anaphase I
Chromosomes move from
the center of the cell to the
opposite poles
Telophase I
Cytoplasm divide and the
nuclear membrane is formed
Cytokinesis I
The cytoplasm of the cell split into two, making
two new cells (46n)
Prophase II
Similar to the mitotic prophase except that it
contains haploid chromosomes
Metaphase II
Formation of spindle fibers
Chromosomes aligned at the metaphase plate
Anaphase II
Daughter chromosomes move toward the
opposite poles
Telophase II
Reappearance of nuclear envelope
Formation of four (4) haploid daughter cells
Cytokinesis II
The cytoplasm of the cell split into two, making
four new cells (23n)
