Lesson 15.1 Cells Beget Cells
Lesson 15.1 Cells Beget Cells
● Even after birth, cells divide to supply the needed cells for a
continued growth and development of tissues.
Stages of Cellular
Reproduction
● Cellular reproduccion is a complex process that is divided into two
distinct stages- (1) cellular growth and maturation and (2) cell
division. Regardless of the cell type in a particular organism, a cell
requires a number of important cellular components to become fully
mature and operational prior to actual cell division.
● In the first stage, growth and maturation of the cell refers to the
important processes the cell must undertake before cell division
starts.
● These processes include attainment of its normal size, assembly of
the necessary organelles and cellular components, accumulation of
enough energy, storage of the essential materials, and the
replication of its genetic content.
In the second stage, the genetic material in the form of
chromosomes systematically and equally divide into two daughter
cells. The organelles and the other components of the cytoplasm are
likewise divided into the resulting daughter cells.

Organelles Involved in Cell Division
● A number of organelles and other cellular parts are involved in
the process of cell division.
● More visible than the other organelles, the nucleus of the cell is
where cell division starts.
● Each pair moves to the end poles of the cell to anchor themselves
into another structure called spindle fibers.
