How do little elephants grow up
to be BIG elephants?
Why do animals shed their skin?
 The process of asexual
reproduction begins after a
sperm fertilizes an egg.
Three reasons why cells reproduce
by asexual reproduction:
1. Growth
2. Repair
3. Replacement

Skin cancer - the abnormal growth of

skin cells - most often develops on
skin exposed to the sun.

Cell that reproduce by asexual

reproduction reproduce constantly.
THE CELL CYCLE
 THE CELL CYCLE
May be divided into two stages:
o INTERPHASE
o CELL DIVISION
- Mitosis
- Meiosis
INTERPHASE
- chromosomes replicate
- chromosomes appear as threadlike coils
(chromatin) at the start, but each
chromosome and its copy(sister
chromosome) change to sister chromatids at
end of this phase

INTERPHASE
- divided into three substages:
- G1 (Gap 1)
- from the formation of a new cell
unit until it begins to replicate it’s DNA
- S (Synthesis)
- period of DNA synthesis
- G2 (Gap 2)
- chromosomes are duplicated

CELL DIVISION
has TWO TYPES:
1. MITOSIS 2. MEIOSIS
 1. MITOSIS
divided into
FOUR STAGES:
A. PROPHASE
B. METAPHASE
C. ANAPHASE
D. TELOPHASE
 A. PROPHASE
(1st step in Mitosis)

- Mitosis begins (cell begins to divide)

- Centrioles (or poles) appear and begin
to move to opposite end of the cell.
- Spindle fibers form between the poles.

 B. METAPHASE
(2nd step in Mitosis)

- Chromatids (or pairs of

chromosomes) attach to the
spindle fibers.

 C. ANAPHASE
(3nd step in Mitosis)

- Chromatids (or pairs of

chromosomes) separate and begin
to move to opposite ends of the cell.

 D. TELOPHASE
(4TH step in Mitosis)

- Two new nuclei form.

- Chromosomes appear as chromatin (threads
rather than rods).
- Chromatids (or pairs of chromosomes) separate
and begin to move to opposite ends of the cell.

 CYTOKINESIS
Occurs after Mitosis

- Cell membrane moves inward to create

two daughter cells – each with its own
nucleus with identical chromosomes.
