Title: The Importance of Mitosis


1
The Importance of Mitosis
2
The need to heal!
3
The need to grow!
4
DNA
  • Made of nucleotides
  • Phosphate
  • sugar
  • Nitrogen base
  • Adenine
  • Guanine
  • Cytosine
  • thymine

5
Coiling
  • Uncoiled DNA called chromatin- between cell
    divisions
  • Happens during cell division
  • DNA wraps tightly around proteins called histones

6
Chromosomes
  • Chromosome- consists of two identical halves
    connected together by a cnetromere
  • Chromatid- a half of one chromosome.
  • Contains one complete set of information
  • Copies itself to make the other chromatid

7
How many chromosomes??
  • Each human diploid cell is 2N and contains 46
    total
  • 23 identical pairs
  • ( 23 x 2 46 ) homologous chromosomes
  • carry the same traits

8
How many chromosomes??
  • Egg and sperm cells only carry one set of 23
  • Each human haploid cell is N
  • Egg and sperm combine to form 2N or 46
  • All other chromosomes are called autosomes
  • Each human or animal cell has sex chromosomes XX
    or XY
  • Define the sex of the organism

9
Cell Cycle
  • G1 cell grows
  • S DNA replication
  • G2 Prepare to divide
  • M Mitosis

Stages of Mitosis
  • Prophase
  • Metaphase
  • Anaphase
  • Telophase
  • Cytokinesis
