CELL CYCLE

Biology Presentation
The cell cycle is the series of stages
that a cell goes through to grow,
duplicate its DNA, and divide into two
daughter cells.
MEIOSIS
What is meiosis?
A type of cell division where a single
cell divides twice and produces four
daughter cells with half the amount
of genetic material (sex cells).
Why is it important?
Meiosis makes sure that all organisms
produced via sexual reproduction
contain the correct number of
chromosomes - half from each parent.
LET’S LOOK AT
THE STAGES
OF MEIOSIS
PROPHASE 1
The chromosomes condense
and the nucleolus breaks down.

As chromosomes move around,


crossing over happens - this means
genetic material can be exchanged.
METAPHASE 1
The chromosomes align in
pairs in the centre of the cell.

Random assortment occurs - this


means that chromosome pairs line
up randomly.
ANAPHASE 1
Chromosome pairs separate and
move to opposite ends of the cell.

This ensures each cell contains


half the number of chromosomes
(haploid).
TELOPHASE 1
Two new nuclei form around
each set of chromosomes.

The cytoplasm splits and two


(haploid) daughter cells are
formed.
PROPHASE 2
Phase 2 happens to allow 4
haploid sex cells (sperm and egg
cells) to be created.

The chromosomes condense and the


nucleolus breaks in both cells.
METAPHASE 2
The chromosomes align single
file in the centre of the cell.

This occurs to ensure sister


chromatids separate in the next
stage.
ANAPHASE 2
Sister chromatids separate and
move to opposite ends of the cell.

This ensures the daughter cells remain


haploid - that means they have half the
genetic material of the original parent
cell.
TELOPHASE 2
Four new nuclei form
around each set of
chromosomes
The cytoplasms split and four
(haploid) daughter cells are
formed.

MITOSIS
Science Presentation
What is mitosis?
-Mitosis is the process where a single parent
cell divides to make two identical daughter
cells.
-It’s essential for growth, repair, and
maintenance of tissues in multicellular
organisms. (Example: Skin cells)
LET’S LOOK AT
THE STAGES
OF MITOSIS
INTERPHASE
The cell grows in size and
replicates its DNA to prepare
for cell division.

This stage occurs before mitosis


begins.
PROPHASE
The chromosomes
(genetic material)
condense (coil tightly)
and the nucleolus
disappears.
METAPHASE
The chromosomes align in
the center of the cell and
attach to microtubules in
preparation to split apart.
ANAPHASE
This stage ensures that
Chromatids separate and
each cell contains identical
move to opposite ends of
chromosomes after
the cell. splitting.
TELOPHASE
Two new nuclei form around
each set of chromosomes.

Chromosomes decondense
and the cells begin to split
from each other.
CYTOKINESIS
The cytoplasm of the parent cell splits
to form two identical daughter cells.
begins shortly after telophase and
completes the process of cell division
by dividing the cytoplasm into two
separate cells.
