What do all cells require to survive?
• A complete set of genetic instructions
– produce required molecules
– direct life processes
• Genetic instructions are coded in the DNA of cells
![Page 4: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why do cells divide?
• Growth
• Repair
• Development

Cell Cycle• Activities of a cell from one cell division to the next
– Cell grows, adding more cytoplasmic constituents
– DNA is replicated
– cell divides into two identical daughter cells
![Page 6: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Essential Feature of Cell Division
1. Must ensure a complete copy of the genetic information is transferred to both daughter cells.
![Page 7: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Two Fundamental Types of Cells(organisms):
• Prokaryotic
• Eukaryotic
![Page 8: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Prokaryotic Cell
• no nucleus – genetic material (DNA) in cytoplasm
• no membrane-bound organelles
• example: bacteria
• cell division is called binary fission
![Page 9: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Eukaryotic Cell
• membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus • genetic material (DNA) contained within the nucleus
• examples: fungi, protists, plants, animals
• cell division of somatic cells called mitotic cell division
![Page 10: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
During non-division phase of cell cycle
• DNA molecules in extended, uncondensed form = chromatin
– cell can only use DNA to produce molecules when in extended state
![Page 11: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
– easier to sort and organize DNA into daughter cells
During division phase of cell cycle
• DNA molecules condense to form chromosomes prior to division
– each chromosome is a single molecule of DNA
![Page 12: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
![Page 13: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Prokaryotic Cell Cycle
• Prokaryotic chromosome a circular loop
1. chromosome attaches to one point on plasma membrane
2. chromosome is replicated – replicated chromosome attached to plasma membrane at a different nearby point
![Page 14: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
3. cell elongates – new plasma membrane is added between between chromosomes, pushing them towards opposite ends of cell
4. plasma membrane grows inward at middle of cell
5. parent cell is divided into two identical daughter cells
![Page 15: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

• Division of somatic cells(non reproductive cells) ineukaryotic organisms
What is Mitotic Cell Division?
• A single cell divides into two identical daughter cells (cellular reproduction)
=> Maintains chromosome ploidy of cell
![Page 19: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Ploidy – refers to the number of pairs of chromosomes in cells
• haploid – one copy of each chromosome – designated as “n”
• diploid – two copies (= pair) of each chromosome – designated as “2n”
![Page 20: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Each species has a characteristicnumber of chromosomes:
Prokaryotes – one chromosome
Crayfish – 200 chromosomes
Human – 46 chromosomes => 23 pairs of chromosomes
![Page 21: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Diploid organisms receive onechromosome from female parent(= maternal) and one chromosomefrom male parent (= paternal)
A “matched” pair of maternal andpaternal chromosomes are calledhomologues
![Page 22: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Structure of a eukaryotic chromosome
• unreplicated chromosome
Chromatid Chromatidcentromere
![Page 23: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Prior to cell division:• chromosomes (DNA) are replicated (duplicated)
duplicatedchromosome
• duplicated chromosome – attached at their centromeres – as long as attached, known as sister chromatids
![Page 24: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Eukaryotic Cell Cycle
2 major phases:
• Interphase (3 stages) – DNA uncondensed (= chromatin)
• Mitotic cell division (4 stages) – DNA condensed (= chromosomes)
![Page 26: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Interphase
• non-dividing state• 3 stages:
G1 – cell grows in size – organelles replicated - majority of cell life span (90%) in
this stageS – replication of DNA – synthesis of proteins associated with DNA
![Page 27: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
G2 – synthesis of proteins associated with mitosis
![Page 28: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Mitotic Cell Division
2 major processes:
• mitosis – nuclear division => preserves diploid number of chromosomes
• cytokinesis – cytoplasmic division => cell divides into two daughter cells
![Page 30: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Mitosis
4 phases:
1st – Prophase (3 major events)
2nd – Metaphase
3rd – Anaphase
4th – Telophase and Cytokinesis
![Page 31: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Prophase
i) chromosomes condense
• 3 major events
ii) spindle fibers form
iii) chromosomes are captured by spindle
![Page 32: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Chromosomes Condense
• Recall that chromosomes were duplicated during interphase
• => each chromosome consists of 2 sister chromatids attached to each other at the centromere
![Page 33: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Mitotic Spindle Forms
• spindle fibers are specialized microtubules (thin tubes)
• spindle fibers radiate out from centrioles, forming the “aster”
• centrioles occur in pairs, and are duplicated during interphase
![Page 34: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• one pair of centrioles migrates to one pole of cell, the other pair migrates to opposite pole of cell
![Page 35: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Spindle Captures Chromosomes
• When spindle fibers are fully formed nuclear envelope disintegrates and nucleolus disappears
• Spindle fibers attach to chromosomes at the kinetochore, a structure located at the centromere
![Page 36: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

• other spindle fibers do NOT attach to chromosomes, but retain free ends that overlap at cell’s equator=> “free spindle fibers”
• function of spindle fibers is to organise division of sister chromatids into daughter cells

Anaphase
• sister chromatids separate
• spindle fibers attached to kinetochores shorten and pull chromatids poleward
• free spindle fibers lengthen and push poles of cell apart
![Page 41: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Telophase
• spindle fibers disintegrate
• nuclear envelopes form around both groups of chromosomes
• chromosomes revert to their extended state
• nucleoli reappear
![Page 43: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Cytokinesis
• Animal cells: – microfilaments attached to plasma membrane form a ring around equator of cell – ring contracts, like a drawstring, dividing the cytoplasm
![Page 46: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
• Plant cells: – stiff cell wall makes pinching impossible – Golgi complex buds off vesicles filled with carbohydrate – vesicles line up at equator and fuse, producing a structure called the cell plate – cell plate becomes new cell wall between the two cells
![Page 47: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Mitotic Cell Division
Functions:
• Growth, maintenance, repair of body tissues
• Forms the basis of Asexual Reproduction

Cancer
• Cancer is a disease of uncontrolled cell division. It starts with a single cell that loses its control mechanisms due to a genetic mutation. That cell starts dividing without limit, and eventually kills the host.
• Normal cells are controlled by several factors. They stay in the G1 stage of the cell cycle until they are given a specific signal to enter the S phase, in which the DNA replicates and the cell prepares for division. Cancer cells enter the S phase without waiting for a signal.
• Another control: normal cells are mortal. This means that they can divide about 50 times and then they lose the ability to die. This “clock” gets re-set during the formation of the gametes. Cancer cells escape this process of mortality: they are immortal and can divide endlessly.
• A third control: cells that suffer significant chromosome damage destroy themselves due to the action of a gene called “p53”. Cancer cells either lose the p53 gene or ignore its message and fail to kill themselves.
![Page 51: Mitosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042700/55578d3cd8b42ad4278b4f88/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Cancer Progression• There are many different forms of cancer, affecting
different cell types and working in different ways. All start out with mutations in specific genes called “oncogenes”. The normal, unmutated versions of the oncogenes provide the control mechanisms for the cell. The mutations are caused by radiation, certain chemicals (carcinogens), and various random events during DNA replication.
• Once a single cell starts growing uncontrollably, it forms a tumor, a small mass of cells. No further progress can occur unless the cancerous mass gets its own blood supply. “Angiogenesis” is the process of developing a system of small arteries and veins to supply the tumor. Most tumors don’t reach this stage.
• A tumor with a blood supply will grow into a large mass. Eventually some of the cancer cells will break loose and move through the blood supply to other parts of the body, where they start to multiply. This process is called metastasis. It occurs because the tumor cells lose the proteins on their surface that hold them to other cells.
