What controls these life processes?

Cell is the basic structural and functional unit
of living organism
A new cell arises from a pre-existing cell
The different activities taking place within a
cell/s, help them
Categories/ Differentiate into Types
Differentiate b/w Living and dead cells
Form tissues/ organs with specific functions

Mechanisms & Processes

of Cellular Reproduction
Cell Cycle and Cell Division

Life Processes
of a Cell
Interphase: metabolism and
growth (90% of time)

A cell cycle is the

ordered
sequence of
events that
extend from the
time a cell is first
formed from a
dividing parent
cell to its own
division into two
cells.

Mitotic
(M) phase:
cell division
(10% of time)

G2

Growth

The Cell Cycle

Most of the cell cycle is spent in interphase,
which lasts for at least 90% of the cell cycle.
During interphase, a cell
performs its normal functions,
doubles everything in its cytoplasm, and
grows in size.

Interphase
Different Phases include
G1 and G2 = Growth/ Gap phases
During G1, each chromosome is single, and the cell
performs its normal functions.

S Phase = the DNA in the nucleus is precisely doubled.

During G2 (after DNA duplication during the S phase),
each chromosome in the cell consists of two identical
sister chromatids, and the cell prepares to divide.

G2

G1

Cell reproduction phase

Cell divides to form two daughter cells
Each new cell carries one copy of DNA from
original cell
Division can be of different types
Asexual Reproduction
Binary fission
Mitosis
growth and maintenance of multi-cellular organisms

Sexual Reproduction Meiosis

For introducing variations

Mitotic (M) phase

Includes two overlapping processes:
1. Mitosis, in which the nucleus and its contents
divide evenly into two daughter nuclei, and
2. Cytokinesis, in which the cytoplasm (along with
all the organelles) is divided in two.

The combination of mitosis and cytokinesis

produces two genetically identical daughter
cells.

Mitosis
Mitosis consists of four distinct phases:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase

2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

Prophase
DNA coils and condenses to form chromatids
and chromosomes
Nuclear envelope starts disappearing
Centrioles move to different poles
Mitotic spindles start forming from the
centrioles
