Cell DivisionAll cells are derived from pre-
existing cellsNew cells are produced for growth
and to replace damaged or old cellsDiffers in prokaryotes (bacteria) and
eukaryotes (protists, fungi, plants, & animals)
3
Keeping Cells Identical
The instructions for making cell parts are encoded in the DNA, so each new cell must get a complete set of the DNA molecules
4
DNA ReplicationDNA must be copied or
replicated before cell division
Each new cell will then have an identical copy of the DNA
Original DNA strand
Two new, identical DNA strands

5
Identical Daughter Cells
Parent Cell
Two identical daughter cells

6
Prokaryotic Chromosome
The DNA of prokaryotes (bacteria) is one, circular chromosome attached to the inside of the cell membrane
3
7
Eukaryotic Chromosomes
All eukaryotic cells store genetic information in chromosomes
Most eukaryotes have between 10 and 50 chromosomes in their body cells
Human body cells have 46 chromosomes or 23 identical pairs
8
Compacting DNA into Chromosomes
DNA is tightly coiled around proteins called histones
4
9
Chromosomes in Dividing Cells
Duplicated chromosomes are called chromatids & are held together by the centromere
Called Sister Chromatids
5
10
KaryotypeA picture of the
chromosomes from a human cell arranged in pairs by size
First 22 pairs are called autosomes
Last pair are the sex chromosomes
XX female or XY male
11
Cell Reproduction
12
Types of Cell Reproduction Asexual reproduction involves a single cell dividing to
make 2 new, identical daughter cells Mitosis & binary fission are examples of asexual
reproduction Sexual reproduction involves two cells (egg & sperm)
joining to make a new cell (zygote) that is NOT identical to the original cells
Meiosis is an example
13
Cell Division in Prokaryotes Prokaryotes such as
bacteria divide into 2 identical cells by the process of binary fission
Single chromosome makes a copy of itself
Cell wall forms between the chromosomes dividing the cell
Parent cell
2 identical daughter cells
Chromosome doubles
Cell splits

The Cell Cycle
15
Five Phases of the Cell CycleG1 - primary growth phaseS – synthesis; DNA replicatedG2 - secondary growth phase
collectively these 3 stages are called interphase
M - mitosisC - cytokinesis
16
Interphase - G1 Stage1st growth stage after cell divisionCells mature by making more
cytoplasm & organellesCell carries on its normal
metabolic activities
7
Interphase – S StageSynthesis stageDNA is copied or replicated
Two identical copies of DNA
Original DNA
18
Interphase – G2 Stage2nd Growth StageOccurs after DNA has been copiedAll cell structures needed for division are
made (e.g. centrioles)Both organelles & proteins are synthesized
19
Mitosis
20
Mitosis Division of the nucleus Also called karyokinesis Only occurs in eukaryotes Has four stages Doesn’t occur in some cells
such as brain cells
8
21
Early ProphaseChromatin in nucleus condenses to form visible
chromosomesMitotic spindle forms from fibers in cytoskeleton
or centrioles (animal)
Chromosomes
22
Late ProphaseNuclear membrane & nucleolus are broken
downChromosomes continue condensing & are
clearly visibleSpindle fibers called kinetochores attach to the
centromere of each chromosomeSpindle finishes forming between the poles of
the cell
23
Review of Prophase
What the cell looks like
24
Spindle Fibers The mitotic spindle form from the microtubules in
plants and centrioles in animal cells Polar fibers extend from one pole of the cell to the
opposite pole Kinetochore fibers extend from the pole to the
centromere of the chromosome to which they attach Asters are short fibers radiating from centrioles
25
MetaphaseChromosomes, attached to the kinetochore
fibers, move to the center of the cellChromosomes are now lined up at the equator

TelophaseSister chromatids at opposite polesSpindle disassemblesNuclear envelope forms around each set of
sister chromatidsNucleolus reappearsCYTOKINESIS occursChromosomes reappear as chromatin
30
Comparison of Anaphase & Telophase
31
CytokinesisMeans division of the cytoplasmDivision of cell into two, identical halves
called daughter cellsIn plant cells, cell plate forms at the equator
to divide cellIn animal cells, cleavage furrow forms to
split cell
32
Daughter Cells of MitosisHave the same number of chromosomes as
each other and as the parent cell from which they were formed
Identical to each other, but smaller than parent cell
Must grow in size to become mature cells (G1 of Interphase)
33
Eukaryotic Cell Division
Used for growth and repair Produce two new cells
identical to the original cell Cells are diploid (2n)

Uncontrolled Mitosis If mitosis is not controlled,
unlimited cell division occurs causing cancerous tumors
Oncogenes are special proteins that increase the chance that a normal cell develops into a tumor cell
Cancer cells

MeiosisFormation of Gametes
(Eggs & Sperm)
37
Facts About MeiosisPreceded by interphase which includes
chromosome replicationTwo meiotic divisions --- Meiosis I and Meiosis IICalled Reduction- divisionOriginal cell is diploid (2n)Four daughter cells produced that are
monoploid (1n)
38
Facts About MeiosisDaughter cells contain half the number of
chromosomes as the original cellProduces gametes (eggs & sperm)Occurs in the testes in males
(Spermatogenesis)Occurs in the ovaries in females (Oogenesis)
39
Start with 46 double stranded chromosomes (2n)After 1 division - 23 double stranded chromosomes (n)After 2nd division - 23 single stranded chromosomes (n) Occurs in our germ cells that produce gametes
More Meiosis Facts
40
Why Do we Need Meiosis? It is the fundamental basis of sexual
reproductionTwo haploid (1n) gametes are brought
together through fertilization to form a diploid (2n) zygote
41
Replication of Chromosomes Replication is the process
of duplicating a chromosome
Occurs prior to division Replicated copies are
called sister chromatids Held together at
centromere
Occurs in Interphase
14
42
A Replicated Chromosome
Homologs (same genes, different alleles)
SisterChromatids(same genes,same alleles)
Gene X
Homologs separate in meiosis I and therefore different alleles separate.
43
Meiosis Forms Haploid GametesMeiosis must reduce the chromosome number by
halfFertilization then restores the 2n number
from mom from dad child

• Prophase I• It is the longest phase of meiosis. During prophase I, DNA is
exchanged between homologous chromosomes in a process called homologous recombination. This often results in chromosomal crossover. The new combinations of DNA created during crossover are a significant source of genetic variation, and may result in beneficial new combinations of alleles. The paired and replicated chromosomes are called bivalents or tetrads, which have two chromosomes and four chromatics, with one chromosome coming from each parent. The process of pairing the homologous chromosomes is called synapses. At this stage, non-sister chromatids may cross-over at points called chiasmata
47
48
Tetrads Form in Prophase IHomologous chromosomes(each with sister chromatids) Join to form a TETRAD
Called Synapsis
49
Crossing-Over Homologous
chromosomes in a tetrad cross over each other
Pieces of chromosomes or genes are exchanged
Produces Genetic recombination in the offspring

50
Metaphase I
Homologous pairs of chromosomes align along the equator of the cell
51
Anaphase I
Homologs separate and move to opposite poles.
Sister chromatids remain attached at their centromeres.
52
Telophase I
Nuclear envelopes reassemble.
Spindle disappears.
Cytokinesis divides cell into two.
53
Meiosis II
Only one homolog of each chromosome is present in the cell.
Meiosis II produces gametes with one copy of each chromosome and thus one copy of each gene.
Sister chromatids carry identical genetic information.

Cell cycle regulation and Cancer
Cell cycle regulation
• The timing and rates of cell division in different parts of an animal or plant are Crucial for normal growth, development, and maintenance.
• The frequency of cell division varies with cell type.• Some human cells divide frequently throughout life (skin
cells), others have the ability to divide, but keep it in reserve (liver cells), and mature nerve and muscle cells do not appear to divide at all after maturity.
A molecular control system drives the cell cycle
• The cell cycle appears to be driven by specific chemical signals in the cytoplasm.
• Fusion of an S phase cell and a G1 phase cell induces the G1 nucleus to start S phase.
• Fusion of a cell in mitosis with one in interphase induces the second cell to enter mitosis
• The distinct events of the cell cycle are directed by a distinct cell cycle control system.
• These molecules trigger and coordinate key events in the cell cycle.
• The control cycle has a built-in clock, but it is also regulated by external adjustments and internal controls.
Checkpoints of cell cycle• A checkpoint in the cell cycle is a critical control point where stop and
go signals regulate the cycle.• Three major checkpoints are found in the G1, G2, and M phases.
G1 Checkpoint• For many cells, the G1 checkpoint, the restriction point in mammalian
cells, is the most important.• If the cell receives a go-ahead signal, it usually completes the cell cycle
and divides.• If it does not receive a go-ahead signal, the cell exits the cycle and
switches to a nondividing state, the G0 phase.• Most human cells are in this phase.• Liver cells can be “called back” to the cell cycle by external cues
(growth factors), but highly specialized nerve and muscle cells never divide.
• Rhythmic fluctuations in the abundance and activity of control molecules pace the cell cycle.
• Some molecules are protein kinases that activate or deactivate other proteins by phosphorylating them.
• The levels of these kinases are present in constant amounts, but these kinases require a second protein, a cyclin, to become activated.
• Levels of cyclin proteins fluctuate cyclically.• The complex of kinases and cyclin forms cyclindependent kinases
(Cdks).
G2 Checkpoint
• The G2 checkpoint prevents cells from entering mitosis when DNA is damaged
• Providing an opportunity for repair and stopping the proliferation of damaged cells.
• G2 checkpoint helps to maintain genomic stability, it is an important focus in understanding the molecular causes of cancer.
Spindle assembly checkpoints• During mitosis and meiosis, the spindle assembly checkpoint acts to
maintain genome stability by delaying cell division until accurate chromosome segregation can be guaranteed.
• Accuracy requires that chromosomes become correctly attached to the microtubule spindle apparatus via their kinetochores.
• When not correctly attached to the spindle, kinetochores activate the spindle assembly checkpoint network, which in turn blocks cell cycle progression.
• Once all kinetochores become stably attached to the spindle, the checkpoint is inactivated, which alleviates the cell cycle block and thus allows chromosome segregation and cell division to proceed.
Apoptosis• Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a
normal occurrence in which an orchestrated sequence of events leads to the death of a cell.
• Death by apoptosis is a neat, orderly process characterized by the overall shrinkage in volume of the cell and its nucleus, the loss of adhesion to neighboring cells, the formation of blebs at the cell surface, the dissection of the chromatin into small fragments, and the rapid engulfment of the “corpse” by phagocytosis.
• Because it is a safe and orderly process, apoptosis might be compared to the controlled implosion of a building using carefully placed explosives as compared to simply blowing up the structure without concern for what happens to the flying debris.
• It has been estimated that 1010–1011 cells in the human body die every day by apoptosis.
• For example, apoptosis is involved in the elimination of cells that have sustained irreparable genomic damage.
