 New Cells From Old
Learning outcomes:

Explain why cell division is important and list

the 4 main stages of cell division.

Describe what the Hayflick limit is.

Create a line graph to show the doubling of

cells.
 Think, pair, share

If a cell divides in two,

100 times, how many
cells will there be at
the end?
 If a cell was to divide in two 100 times, it
would produce 2 to the power 100 cells, or 2 100!
Thats 2x2x2x2x2x2......
1,267,650,600,228,229,401,496,703,205,376 cells!!!

 The Hayflick Limit
The Hayflick limit the number of times
a cell will divide before dying.

If a cell had a Hayflick limit of 5,

how many new cells would be
produced before the original cell
dies?

Plot a line graph of your results

Not all cells divide
