How does your skin repair itself when you get a cut?
Why do cells divide?1.) Growing organisms need more cells– What would happen if your cells stopped dividing?– Skin cells…what would happen if your skin cells
stopped dividing?
2.) To replace damaged or worn out cells– Bloody knee– Peeling skin after a sunburn
3.) As cells grow, their volume is far too big for their surface area, and they can’t get nutrients in and waste out fast enough
What is the goal of cell division?
• To produce two identical cells called daughter cells.
PARENT CELL
TWO IDENTICAL DAUGHTER CELLS
The Cell Cycle
2 Major Phases of Cell Division1.) Interphase G1 Stage – primary growth phase
S Stage- synthesis; DNA replication G2 Stage – secondary growth phase
2.) Cell division (M-Phase) M – Mitosis C - Cytokinesis
Interphase – G1 Stage
• 1st stage after cell division
• Cells mature by making more cytoplasm and organelles
• Cell carries on its normal, everyday metabolic activities
• *This is the longest stage of the cell cycle
Interphase – S Stage
• Synthesis stage • DNA is copied or
replicated
- Two identical copies of DNA
- Each new cell is identical to the parent cell
PARENT DNA
*Why is it important that each new cell is IDENTICAL to the parent cell?
Keeping Cells Identical
• The instructions for making cell parts are encoded in the DNA, so each new cell must get a complete set of the DNA molecules
PARENT DNADNA replication occurs in S stage in the parent cell
Interphase – G2 Stage• 2nd Growth Stage
• Occurs after DNA has been copied
• All cell structures needed for division are made (e.g. centrioles)
• Both organelles & proteins are synthesized
• Everything must be in order for the cell to divide
• **Critical Checkpoint
Cell Division M-Phase (Mitosis and Cytokinesis)
• Mitosis (division of the nucleus)– Divided into 4 stages– 1.)Prophase– 2.)Metaphase– 3.)Anaphase– 4.)Telophase
• Cytokinesis evenly divides the cytoplasm
So how does your skin repair itself when you get a cut?
Cellular division!
When you cut your skin, the cells at the edge of the injury are stimulated to divide rapidly ....interphase begins!

In your groups discuss…
1.) How do cancer cells grow?
2.) How does chemotherapy fight cancer (and what cause negative side effects?)
