CELL DIVISION MITOSIS: Reproducing the nucleus of a somatic cell. MEIOSIS: Producing sex cells (gametes). CYTOKINESIS: Division of cytoplasm and organelles. MITOSIS & MEIOSIS, con’t. Both mitosis and meiosis consist of a sequence of phases: • interphase (preparation for division) • prophase • metaphase • anaphase • telophase MITOSIS & MEIOSIS, con’t. Result of Mitosis: •formation of two daughter nuclei •have the same chromosome number as original (parent) cell MITOSIS & MEIOSIS, con’t. Result of Meiosis: •formation of 1 to 4 daughter nuclei •have half the chromosome number as original (parent) cell Concludes with cytokinesis •division of the cytoplasm and organelles I. MITOSIS A. Terminology 1. Chromatin 2. Chromosome 3. Diploid (46 or “2N” in humans) 4. Haploid (23 or “N” in humans) 5. Homologous chromosomes 6. Somatic cells MITOSIS, con’t. B. PHASES: arbitrarily assigned 1. INTERPHASE: a. NO division. Cell appears to be “resting” b. the metabolic phase of the cell Interphase, continued … c. Chromatin visible d. Nucleus, nuclear membrane, nucleolus visible e. Centrioles located at poles f. Longest phase 1. ~96% of the cell’s life cycle 2. average of 23/24 hours Interphase of Mitosis MITOSIS, con’t. 2. Prophase a. Centrioles move to opposite poles of cell b. Chromatin condenses into chromosomes c. Nucleoli disappear d. Spindle apparatus is organized Late Prophase of Mitosis MITOSIS, con’t. : Prophase e. Toward end of phase, nuclear membrane dissipates f. Phase ends as spindle fibers attach to centromeres g. Each chromosome now consists of two chromatids Chromosome at Metaphase A single metaphase chromosome with two chromatids MITOSIS, con’t. 3. Metaphase a. Chromosomes arranged around equatorial plate b. “Single file” c. Two spindle fibers attached at each centromere MITOSIS, con’t.: Metaphase d. A relatively short phase e. Chromosomes easily counted (KARYOTYPE) f. Phase ends as chromatids separate g. Centromere splits as DNA replication is completed Metaphase of Mitosis MITOSIS, con’t. 4. ANAPHASE a. Begins as chromatids separate b. Spindles move chromosomes to opposite poles c. Polar spindles elongate cells d. Phase ends when chromosomes have arrived at poles Anaphase of Mitosis MITOSIS, con’t. 5. Telophase a. “Reverse” of prophase b. Identical sister chromosomes have arrived at opposite poles c. Nuclear membrane reassembles d. Spindle apparatus dissipates e. Nucleolus reassembles MITOSIS, con’t.: Telophase f. Chromosomes relax chromatin g. Centrioles replicate h. Each chromosome consists of a single complete strand of DNA i. Phase ends when nuclear membrane is completely reassembled Telophase of Mitosis MITOSIS, con’t. … C. CYTOKINESIS 1. Begins during anaphase 2. Completed during telophase 3. Result: two daughter cells a. Genetically identical to parent cell b. Contain ~1/2 the cytoplasm, organelles Mitosis An overview of Mitosis showing all stages II. MEIOSIS: • A special case of mitosis • Occurs during maturation of sex cells (gametes) • Result: daughter nuclei receive one half the number of chromosomes of somatic cells • Makes sexual reproduction possible II. MEIOSIS, con’t. A. Terminology 1. Haploid: having a single set of chromosomes per individual or cell (N) 2. Diploid: having two full sets of chromosomes per individual or cell (2N) II. MEIOSIS, con’t.: Diploid a. Usually find sexual reproduction in diploid organisms b. Provides enormous adaptive advantages: 1. allows for population variations 2. Increases chances for survival II. MEIOSIS, con’t.: Terminology 3. Homologous chromosomes: a. Chromosomes that pair during meiosis b. Have the same morphology c. Contain genes governing the same characteristics MEIOSIS, con’t.: Terminology 4. Allele: one of the two or more alternate forms of a gene a. dominant, recessive, co-dominant b. examples: B = Brown hair (dominant) b = blonde hair (recessive) c. Different alleles arise by mutations MEIOSIS, con’t.: Terminology 5. Gene: a. sequence of DNA nucleotides b. unit of heredity transmitted in the chromosome 6. Chromosome: sequence of genes II. MEIOSIS, con’t.: Terminology 7. One gene – One enzyme theory: • A gene is that part of a DNA molecule responsible for the synthesis of one enzyme (polypeptide) II. MEIOSIS, con’t.: B. Phases of Meiosis 1. Two “sets” of events 2. Same names as mitosis 3. Must indicate phase ‘I’ or ‘II’ I = Reductional Division II = Equational Division II. MEIOSIS, con’t.: C. Reductional Division 1. Interphase I: Like mitosis 2. Prophase I: a. Long, complex b. Three subdivisions II. MEIOSIS, con’t.: Prophase I 1. Early: like mitosis 2. Middle: important a. homologs pair b. crossing over occurs c. exchange of genetic info d. called “tetrads” 3. Late: like mitosis Prophase I of Meiosis II. MEIOSIS, con’t.: 3. Metaphase I a. Similar to mitosis b. Homologous pairs align c. One spindle fiber/centromere d. Ends as one of each pair is pulled to opposite poles e. NO DNA replication!! II. MEIOSIS, con’t.: 4. Anaphase I a. Similar to mitosis b. Members of homologous pairs move to poles c. Moved by spindle fibers Anaphase II of Meiosis II. MEIOSIS, con’t.: 5. Telophase I a. Nuclear membrane reorganizes b. Chromosomes “relax” 6. Cytokinesis: may not occur Telophase I of Meiosis II. MEIOSIS, con’t.: 7. End result a. Nuclei are haploid (N) b. Chromosome number is reduced by one-half II.
