Cell Division You are made of ~37,200,000,000,000 Cells! You make about 2,500,000 New Cells Every Second! In Prokaryotes (1 Circular Chromosome) • Binary Fission In Eukaryotes, cell division occurs in two major stages. The first stage, division of the cell nucleus, is called mitosis. The second stage, division of the cell cytoplasm, is called cytokinesis. DNA Structure Video DNA Packaging Video Chromosomes Genetic information is passed from one generation to the next on chromosomes. Before cell division, each chromosome is duplicated, or copied. Alleles • Same Gene but Different Form on the Two Homologous Chromosomes Somatic Cells / Sex Cells • Sex Cells = Gametes (Haploid) • Somatic Cells = Everything Else (Diploid) Autosomes / Sex Chromosomes • Sex Chromosomes = X and Y • Autosomes = All Other Chromosomes Each chromosome consists of two identical “sister” chromatids. Each pair of chromatids is attached at an area called the centromere. Go to SMART “Mitosis” Sister chromatids Centromere Cell Cycle The cell cycle is the series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide. Interphase is the period of growth that occurs between cell divisions. Mitosis Video During the cell cycle: ●a cell grows ●prepares for division ●divides to form two daughter cells, each of which begins the cycle again The cell cycle consists of four phases: • G1 (First Gap Phase) • S Phase • G2 (Second Gap Phase) • M Phase Events of the Cell Cycle During G1, the cell •increases in size •synthesizes new proteins and organelles During the S phase, • chromosomes are replicated • DNA Synthesis takes place Once a cell enters the S phase, it usually completes the rest of the cell cycle. The G2 Phase (Second Gap Phase) • organelles and molecules required for cell division are produced • Once G2 is complete, the cell is ready to start the M phase— Mitosis Cell Cycle M phase Mitosis Biologists divide the events of mitosis into four phases: (PMAT) ● Prophase ● Metaphase ● Anaphase ● Telophase Mitosis Prophase Spindle forming Prophase Chromosomes (paired chromatids) Centromere Prophase Spindle forming Prophase is the first and longest phase of mitosis. The centrioles separate and take up positions on opposite sides of the nucleus. Centromere Chromosomes (paired chromatids) The centrioles lie in a region called the centrosome. The centrosome helps to organize the spindle, a fanlike microtubule structure that helps separate the chromosomes. Spindle forming Centromere Chromosomes (paired chromatids) Spindle forming Chromatin condenses into chromosomes. The centrioles separate and a spindle begins to form. The nuclear envelope breaks down. Centromere Chromosomes (paired chromatids) Metaphase Centriole Spindle Centriole Metaphase Centriole Metaphase The second phase of mitosis is metaphase. The chromosomes line up across the center of the cell. Microtubules connect the centromere of each chromosome to the poles of the spindle. Spindle Anaphase Individual chromosomes Anaphase Anaphase Individual chromosomes Anaphase is the third phase of mitosis. The sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes. The chromosomes continue to move until they have separated into two groups. Telophase Nuclear envelope reforming Telophase Telophase Telophase is the fourth and final phase of mitosis. Chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell and lose their distinct shape. A new nuclear envelope forms around each cluster of chromosomes. Cytokinesis Cytokinesis During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm pinches in half. Each daughter cell has an identical set of duplicate chromosomes In plants, a structure known as the cell plate forms midway between the divided nuclei.

Regulating the Cell Cycle Controls on Cell Division Experiments show that normal cells will reproduce until they come into contact with other cells. When cells come into contact with other cells, they respond by not growing. This demonstrates that controls on cell growth and division can be turned on and off. Contact Inhibition Cell Cycle Regulators • The cell cycle is regulated by proteins which amounts rise and fall with the cell cycle. • Cyclins regulate the timing of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells by activating Kineases (Cyclin Dependent Kianeases, CDKs) Cyclins were discovered during a similar experiment to this one. A sample of cytoplasm is removed from a cell in mitosis. The sample is injected into a second cell in G2 of interphase. As result, the second cell enters mitosis. Checkpoints Some proteins allow the cell cycle to proceed only when certain processes have happened inside the cell. Regulatory Proteins Cell Cycle Control Video P53 • Gene (and protein product) that regulates the passage into mitosis Apoptosis • programmed cell death p53 Video Uncontrolled Cell Growth • Cancer is a disorder in which some of the body's own cells lose the ability to control growth. Cancer cells do not respond to the signals that regulate the growth of most cells. Oncogenes • a gene that has the potential to cause cancer Cancer cells divide uncontrollably and form masses of cells called tumors that can damage the surrounding tissues. Cancer cells may break loose from tumors and spread throughout the body (metastasis), disrupting normal activities and causing serious medical problems or even death.

Asexual Reproduction • In sexual reproduction, haploid gametes fuse to form a diploid zygote Asexual Reproduction • In asexual reproduction, diploid cells produce more identical diploid cells (Cloning) Asexual Reproduction •Fission • parent cell splits into two identical daughter cells of the same size. •Fragmentation • parent organism breaks into fragments and each fragment develops into a new organism. Asexual Reproduction •Budding • parent cell forms a bubble-like bud. Sexual Reproduction Meiosis Each organism must inherit a single copy of every gene from each of its “parents.” Gametes are formed by a process that separates the two alleles on each homologous chromosome so that each gamete ends up with just one allele – MEIOSIS Chromosome Number Organisms have different numbers of chromosomes. An adult fruit fly has 8 chromosomes: 4 from the male parent 4 from its female parent. A cell that contains both sets of homologous chromosomes is said to be diploid. The number of chromosomes in a diploid cell is sometimes represented by the symbol 2n. For Drosophila, the diploid number is 8, which can be written as 2n=8. The gametes of sexually reproducing organisms contain only a single set of chromosomes, and therefore only a single set of genes. These cells are haploid. Haploid cells are represented by the symbol n. For Drosophila, the haploid number is 4, which can be written as n=4. Phases of Meiosis Meiosis is a process of reduction division in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell. Meiosis Video Meiosis involves two divisions, meiosis I and meiosis II. By the end of meiosis II, the diploid cell that entered meiosis has become 4 haploid cells. Another Meiosis Video Meiosis I Interphase I Meiosis I Prophase I Metaphase I Anaphase I Telophase I and Cytokinesis Cells undergo a round of DNA replication, forming duplicate chromosomes. Interphase Each chromosome pairs with its corresponding homologous chromosome to form a tetrad. There are 4 chromatids in a tetrad. Prophase I When homologous chromosomes form tetrads in meiosis I, they exchange portions of their chromatids in a process called crossing over. Crossing-over produces new combinations of alleles. Spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes. Metaphase I The fibers pull the homologous chromosomes toward opposite ends of the cell. Anaphase I Nuclear membranes form. The cell separates into two cells. The two cells produced by meiosis I have chromosomes and alleles that are different from each other and from the diploid cell that entered meiosis I. Telophase I and Cytokinesis Meiosis II The two cells produced by meiosis I now enter a second meiotic division. Unlike meiosis I, neither cell goes through chromosome replication. Each of the cell’s chromosomes has 2 chromatids. Meiosis II Telophase I and Cytokinesis I Meiosis II Prophase II Metaphase II Anaphase II Telophase II and Cytokinesis Meiosis I results in two haploid (N) daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell. Prophase II The chromosomes line up in the center of cell. Metaphase II The sister chromatids separate and move toward opposite ends of the cell. Anaphase II Meiosis II results in four haploid (N) daughter cells. Yet Another Meiosis Video Telophase II and Cytokinesis Gamete Formation In male animals, meiosis results in four equal-sized gametes called sperm. In many female animals, only one egg results from meiosis. The other three cells, called polar bodies, are usually not involved in reproduction. Comparing Mitosis and Meiosis Mitosis results in the production of two genetically identical diploid cells. Meiosis produces four genetically different haploid cells. Mitosis Meiosis • Cells produced by mitosis • Cells produced by meiosis have half the have the same number of number of chromosomes and alleles chromosomes as the as the original cell. parent cell. • Mitosis allows an • These cells are organism to grow and genetically different replace cells. from the diploid cell and from each other. • Some organisms reproduce asexually by mitosis. • Meiosis is how sexually-reproducing organisms produce gametes.
