Cell division • In unicellular organisms, division of one cell reproduces the entire organism • Multicellular organisms depend on cell division for: – Development from a fertilized cell – Growth – Repair • Cell division is an integral part of the cell cycle, the life of a cell from formation to its own division • Most cell division results in daughter cells with identical genetic information, DNA • A special type of division produces nonidentical daughter cells (gametes, or sperm and egg cells) Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Cellular Organization of the Genetic Material • All the DNA in a cell constitutes the cell’s genome • A genome can consist of a single DNA molecule (common in prokaryotic cells) or a number of DNA molecules (common in eukaryotic cells) • DNA molecules in a cell are packaged into chromosomes – DNA is associated with histone proteins to form chromatin – The chromatin is further compacted and looped to form very dense chromosomes • Chromosome ends are referred to as telomeres • Each chromosome has a narrowing or pinched region called the centromere.

Centrosomes moving outward – Prometaphase-chromosomes continue to thicken. Spindles extend from centrosomes and bind to kinetichore of centromere. – Metaphase-chromosomes are pushed to midline of cell by spindles – Anaphase-centromere splits. Spindles begin to shorten and pull chromosomes apart. Two sister chromatids are now two separate chromosomes. – Telophase-chromosomes are pulled to opposite ends of cell. Cell is prepared to divide. Cytokinesis is well underway by late telophase Fig. 12-6 G2 of Interphase Centrosomes Chromatin (with centriole (duplicated) pairs) Prophase Early mitotic Aster Centromere spindle Nucleolus Nuclear

The mitotic spindle is an apparatus of microtubules that controls chromosome movement during mitosis • During prophase, assembly of spindle microtubules begins in the centrosome, the microtubule organizing center • The centrosome replicates, forming two centrosomes that migrate to opposite ends of the cell, as spindle microtubules grow out from them • An aster (a radial array of short microtubules) extends from each centrosome • The spindle includes the centrosomes, the spindle microtubules, and the asters • During prometaphase, some spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of chromosomes and begin to move the chromosomes • At metaphase, the chromosomes are all lined up at the metaphase plate, the midway point between the spindle’s two poles Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Fig. 12-7 Aster Centrosome Sister chromatids Microtubules Chromosomes Metaphase plate Kinetochores Centrosome 1 µm Overlapping nonkinetochore microtubules Kinetochore microtubules 0.5 µm • In anaphase, sister chromatids separate and move along the kinetochore microtubules toward opposite ends of the cell • The microtubules shorten by depolymerizing at their kinetochore ends Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Fig. 12-8b CONCLUSION Chromosome movement Kinetochore Microtubule Motor protein Chromosome Tubulin Subunits Cytokinesis: A Closer Look • In animal cells, cytokinesis occurs by a process known as cleavage, forming a cleavage furrow • In plant cells, a cell plate forms

called binary fission • In binary fission, the chromosome replicates (beginning at the origin of replication), and the two daughter chromosomes actively move apart Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Fig. 12-11-4 Cell wall Origin of replication E. coli cell Two copies of origin Origin Plasma membrane Bacterial chromosome Origin Concept 12.3: The eukaryotic cell cycle is regulated by a molecular control system • The frequency of cell division varies with the type of cell • These cell cycle differences result from regulation at the molecular level Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings The Cell Cycle Control System • The sequential events of the cell cycle are directed by a distinct cell cycle control system, which is similar to a clock • The cell cycle control system is regulated by both internal and external controls • The clock has specific checkpoints where the cell cycle stops until a go-ahead signal is receivedFor many cells, the G1 checkpoint seems to be the most important one • If a cell receives a go-ahead signal at the G1 checkpoint, it will usually complete the S, G2, and M phases and divide • If the cell does not receive the go-ahead signal, it will exit the cycle, switching into a nondividing state called the G0 phase Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Fig. 12-14 G1 checkpoint Control system G1 M G2 M checkpoint G2 checkpoint S Stop and Go Signs: Internal and External Signals at the Checkpoints • An example of an internal signal is that kinetochores not attached to spindle microtubules send a molecular signal that delays anaphase • Some external signals are growth factors, proteins released by certain cells that stimulate other cells to divide • Another example of external signals is density-dependent inhibition, in which crowded cells stop dividing • Most animal cells also exhibit anchorage dependence, in which they must be attached to a substratum in order to divide Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Loss of Cell Cycle Controls in Cancer Cells • Cancer cells do not respond normally to the body’s control mechanisms – They may make their own growth factor – They may convey a growth factor’s signal without the presence of the growth factor – They may have an abnormal cell cycle control system Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Fig. 12-UN2
