Cell Reproduction
How do cells make new cells?
Cell Reproduction
• Reproduce: process by which living things give rise to other living things– Two Types of Cell Reproduction
• Asexual: one parent offspring is identical• Sexual: two parents offspring is not identical
Types of Asexual Reproduction
• 1-Binary Fission– Primary way that bacteria (unicellular) cells
reproduce

2-Budding
• Usually seen in yeast cells
• Cell replicates when a piece of the cell pinches off and separates from the parent cell
3-Spore
• Found in fungi, algae, protozoa
• Airborne cells that are released from the parent. They are enclosed and developed when the environment is appropriate
4-Regeneration
• Ability to re-grow lost parts
• Found in starfish, earthworms, some reptiles
5-Vegetative Propagation
• Regeneration in plants from an area that is remaining
6-Mitosis
• The process where animal cells divide
• This is a type of asexual reproduction
• Body cells (somatic cells) go through the process of mitosis
Sexual Reproduction in cells
• Meiosis – Process where sex cells are made in the
gonads• Gonads organs where sex cells are made
– Male testes make and house sperm– Females ovaries make and house eggs
We will discuss meiosis later!!!!
What structures are mainly in charge of cell replication?
• Chromosomes are composed of DNA and in charge of replication• Only visible during cell division as X shaped structures. • Humans have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs). • Each X shaped chromosome consists of 2 “sister” chromatids
produced during replication Called DIPLOID 2N• The “sister” chromatids are attached at an area called the
centromere
Cell Cycle
• Why is the cell cycle called a cycle?
• Why do you think it’s important for a cell to grow in size during its cell cycle?
Cell Cycle- The Cell’s Timeclock
Cell Cycle- is the series of events that takes place in a cell leading to its division and
duplication

Interphase: not part of mitosis
• Interphase-(technically not part of mitosis, but it is included in the cell cycle)
• Cell is in a preparing for mitosis, performing cell functions
• DNA replicates (copies)• Organelles double in number, to prepare for
division– G1 - First growth– S - synthesis (copy DNA)– G2 - Second growth

Prophase
• Spindle forms
• Centrioles move to opposite poles
• Chromosomes become visible
• Nuclear membrane breaks down in prometaphase
Metaphase
• Chromosomes line up along the equator
Anaphase
• Centromeres divide
• Chromatids separate and move to opposite poles
Telophase
• Nuclear membrane forms around each group of chromosomes
• Chromosomes unwind, nuclear membrane forms again
Cytokinesis begins
• Cell pinches inward and forms two daughter cells

It will show you an animation of mitosis
Results of Mitosis
• Same number of chromosomes from generation to generation (46 in humans)
• Each daughter cell (offspring) gets exact copy of chromosomes
Consequences of Incorrect Mitosis
• Cancer: uncontrolled mitotic division in cells– Timeclock (cell cycle) does not work properly

Plant Mitosis
• Same process as in animal cell but plants don’t have the centrioles and a cell plate forms
Uses for Mitosis
• Replicate young embryonic cells
• Replicate body (somatic) cells. Skin, blood cells
• Repair damaged cells
• Controls cell growth and death. – Cytokinins: chemicals that regulate cell
replicating
