CELL GROWTH•A cell is limited by its cell size

•The larger the cell the harder it is to move through tissue and get nutrients

•In order to stay alive and not grow continuously, the cell will divide

REASONS WHY TO DIVIDE•DNA•Genetic information stored•Found in the nucleus of the cell•DNA would not be able to keep up with demand of the cell

•Transport•Rate decreases as the cell size increases•Takes too long for nutrients and wastes to move in and out of cell

SURFACE AREA TO VOLUME•Surface Area •Area on surface of cell where reactions can occur•As a cell increases, the surface area decreases

CELL DIVISION AND REPRODUCTION•Asexual Reproduction•Produces identical offspring from a single parent•Used by many single-celled organisms Ex: bacteria•Occurs very quickly

•Sexual Reproduction•Produces genetically different offspring from two parents•Fusion of two parent cells

CHROMOSOMES

•Made up of our DNA•Holds genetic information•Tight coils or rod like structures•Organisms have a specific amount of chromosomesHumans have 46 chromosomes of DNA in every somatic cell

CHROMOSOME STRUCTURE•Histones are proteins that DNA wraps around to make the chromosome shape

•Chromosomes are made of two sister chromatids• Identical to each other

CHROMOSOMES•Centromeres are in the center of a chromosome

•Chromosomes are tightly coiled strings of DNA called chromatin

•Chromatin is the thin/string-like form of DNA

CHROMOSOME NUMBERS•There is a specific number of chromosomes in each organism

•Humans have autosomes and sex chromosomes

•We have 2 sex chromosomes• Either X or Y

•We also have 44 autosomes • Which do not code for gender

KARYOTYPE•A karyotype is a picture of one set of chromosomes•Shows you sex of organism•Shows your any chromosomal disorders

CHROMOSOME NUMBERS

•A diploid cell contains 2 sets of each chromosome• Prefix di = 2

•A haploid cell contains only 1 set of each chromosome• Half of the total number• Usually sex cells

CELL DIVISION IN PROKARYOTES

•Prokaryotes• No nucleus• No organelles• Ex: Bacteria

•Reproduction is very fast• Copy DNA• Split into two cells

•Cell division is called binary fission

EUKARYOTIC CELL REPRODUCTION

•Eukaryotes• Have a nucleus• Have organelles • Ex: Humans, plants

•Complex reproduction • Everything needs to be controlled!

•Much slower process – about 18 hours!

CELL REPRODUCTION A cell splits to make 2 identical copies

If asexual reproductionOnly 1 cell involved

This occurs in 3 main stages

1. Interphase – growth2. Mitosis – division of the

nucleus3. Cytokinesis – Splitting of

the cytoplasm

INTERPHASE Cell growth and preparing for division

INTERPHASE

•Cell growth•Majority of cell’s life is spent in interphase.•3 Part of Interphase: •G1, S, G2

G1 PHASE

•The cell is growing•The organelles are duplicating

S PHASE

•Takes place when cells are too big

•S = synthesis of DNA

•DNA is copied so there is a set for each new cell

DNA REPLICATES IN INTERPHASE SO THE DAUGHTER CELLS EXACT COPIES OF THE DNA

G2 PHASE

Cell grows again Replication of organelles Last stage of interphase Cell prepares for cell division

HOW IS DNA COPIED?

•Each cell has an protein called helicase• Enzyme that “unzips” the DNA making 2 identical strands• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdDkiRw1PdU

MITOSIS Cell Division

MITOSIS• The part of a cell’s life cycle when the cell’s nucleus divides into 2 identical nuclei•4 steps:•prophase•metaphase•anaphase•telophase

PROPHASE

• All organelles disappear

• Centrioles separate and move to opposite pole

• Chromatin becomes chromosomes

• Centrioles shoot off spindle fibers

METAPHASE

Chromosomes line up at the equator (middle)

ANAPHASE

•Centromere splits

•Sister chromatids attach to the short spindle fibers

•Spindle fibers shorten and bring the sister chromatids to opposite poles

TELOPHASE•Chromatids become chromatin(one at each pole)

• Spindle disappears

•Organelles reappear

CYTOKINESIS Cytoplasm Division

CYTOKINESIS•Once mitosis has finished!

•Last stage of cell cycle

•Process is when the cytoplasm splits apart

•There are now 2 identical cells

CYTOKINESIS IN PLANT CELLS•A cell plate forms between the two nuclei

•The cytoplasm divides

•A cell wall forms two daughter cells

CYTOKINESIS IN ANIMAL CELLS

•Cell membrane pinches in at equator

•Cleavage furrow

MITOSIS: DIVISION OF THE NUCLEUS

CELLS IN VARIOUS STAGES OF THE CELL CYCLE

CONTROL OF CELL DIVISION

•Checkpoints (Regulatory Proteins)•DNA repair enzymes will fix any mutations, if checkpoint is passed division will occur

•Mitosis checkpoint – if all is correct, the 2 daughter cells will enter G1 phase and interphase happens again

•If a cell does not meet requirements for checkpoints, the cell will be programmed to die Apoptosis is controlled cell death

Uncontrolled Mitosis

is cancer.

WHEN CONTROL IS LOST

Enzyme proteins are not functioning properly causing cell to reproduce out of control Could cause cancer Cancer cells do not respond to body’s regulators/cyclins that control mechanisms
