What is cell?...... 
Cells are the basic units of all living things. 
Cells make up bones, muscles, skin, and blood. 
Cells make up leaves, roots, stems, and flowers. 
As the organism grows, the cells must 
reproduce.
Cell.. 
 Cells are the structural and functional 
units of all living organisms. 
 Unicellular. 
 Multicellular. 
 Functions of cell…. 
 Nutrients to Energy.. 
 Each cell having its own set of 
instrunction.
Eukaryotic cell division.. 
 Eukaryotes must divide their nucleus (and 
other organelles such as mitochondria) in 
preparation for cell division (mitosis or 
meiosis) 
 Before the nucleus divides the genetic 
material replicates (duplicates).
Prokaryotic cell division. 
 Prokaryotes have no nucleus. 
 They have a single circular chromosome. 
 Prokaryotes simply divide their cells in two 
by binary fission.
Some of important Definitions.. 
 Spindle Fiber -One of a network of 
filaments that extend inward from the 
poles of a dividing cell, forming a spindle-shaped 
figure. 
 Centromere -The most condensed and 
constricted region of a chromosome, to 
which the spindle fiber is attached during 
mitosis.
Definition.. 
 Chromatin-A complex of nucleic acids 
and proteins, primarily histones, in the cell 
nucleus that stains readily with basic dyes 
and condenses to form chromosomes 
during cell division. 
 Chromatid -Either of the two daughter 
strands of a replicated chromosome that 
are joined by a single centromere and 
separate during cell division to become 
individual chromosomes.
Definition.. 
 Chromosome-thread-like, gene-carrying 
bodies in the nucleus of a 
cell. Chromosomes are composed 
primarily of DNA and protein. They are 
visible only under magnification during 
certain stages of cell division. Humans 
have 46 chromosomes in each somatic 
cell and 23 in each sex cell.
Definition.. 
 Equatorial plane -The plane that contains 
all of the centromeres and their spindle 
attachments during metaphase of mitosis. 
 kinetochore fibers -specialized regions in 
the centromeres of chromosomes.
Cell Cycle.. 
 The cell cycle is the event that makes new 
cells, by cell division, through six 
processes. They are; 
 interphase, 
 mitosis(prophase), 
 mitosis(metaphase), 
 mitosis(anaphase), 
 mitosis(telophase), and 
 cytokinesis
Interphase. 
 During Interphase cell replicates its 
nuclear DNA, ensuring that when does it 
divide at the end of mitotic phase, each 
of the newly created daughter cells will 
contain a full set of gene..
Mitosis.. 
 Mitosis is the mechanism that allows the 
nuclei of cells to split and provide each 
daughter cell with a complete set of 
chromosomes during cellular division. This, 
coupled with cytokinesis (division of the 
cytoplasm), occurs in all multicellular 
plants and animals to permit growth of the 
organism.
Interphase..
Prophase.. 
 During this first mitotic stage, the nucleolus fades 
and chromatin (replicated DNA and associated 
proteins) condenses into chromosomes. 
 Each replicated chromosome comprises two 
chromatids, both with the same genetic 
information.
Prophase..
Prophase 
Animal cell and plant cell..
Metaphase.. 
 NEXT, THE NUCLEAR ENVELOPE BREAKS DOWN, AND A LARGE PROTEIN 
NETWORK, CALLED THE SPINDLE, ATTACHES TO EACH SISTER 
CHROMATID. THE CHROMOSOMES ARE NOW ALIGNED PERPENDICULAR 
TO THE SPINDLE IN A PROCESS CALLED METAPHASE..
Metaphase..
Metaphase…
Anaphase.. 
 Anaphase begins as the centromeres of each pair of 
chromatids split, effectively doubling the number of 
chromosomes. 
 Once separated, sister chromatids, each now an independent 
chromosome with its own centromere, begin moving apart 
toward opposite poles of the cell. 
 The movement is made possible via two mechanisms. 
 The kinetochore fibers attached to each centromere begin to 
shorten, pulling the chromosomes toward the poles. 
 At the same time, the polar microtubules from opposite ends 
of the cell form cross bridges in the equatorial plane, pushing 
the poles apart by becoming longer.
Anaphase…
Anaphase. 
Animal cell and plant cell.
Telophase.. 
 In telophase, the daughter chromosomes arrive at the 
spindle poles. 
 After complete separation of the chromosomes the 
nuclear membrane begins to reform around each group 
of chromosomes at the opposite ends of the cell. 
 When telophase is complete and the new cell 
membrane is being formed. 
 The final steps in telophase involve the initiation of 
plasma membrane cleavage between each of the new 
daughter cells to ultimately yield two separate cells 
during cytokinesis, the next phase of cell division.
Telophase and cytokinesis..
Telophase. 
Animal cell and plant cell..
Cytokinesis.. 
 The final stage in the process of cell 
division is known as cytokinesis, which 
usually begins during late anaphase or 
early telophase (before mitosis ends). 
 As the nuclear envelope is reforming and 
the chromosomes are de-condensing. 
 During this stage the cytoplasm is divided.
