Cell division
Mitosis
Interphase
prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
telophase
Cancer
Uncontrolled mitosis
Two possible causes
Carcinogens
Key Concepts and Mechanisms
DNA Replication: Occurs during the S phase of interphase, before mitosis and meiosis begin
Chromosomes: Structures that carry genetic information
Chromatids: Each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids joined by a centromere
Centromere: The point on a chromosome by which it is attached to a spindle fiber during cell division
Significance of Cell Division
Development: Essential for the growth from a zygote to a multicellular organism
Tissue Repair and Renewal: Replaces old, damaged, or dead cells
Reproductive Strategy: Basis for asexual reproduction and the formation of gametes in sexual reproductio
Meiosis
Purpose: Sexual reproduction
Purpose: Growth, Repair, Asexual reproduction
Outcome: Produces four genetically diverse haploid daughter cells
Chromosomes
Gene
Cell continuity
