Mitosis: Cell Division
![Page 2: Mitosis: Cell Division. Terminology DNA – made of nucleic acids, housed in the nucleus, contains genes Chromatin – long strands of DNA that are wrapped](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ed55503460f94be611a/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Terminology• DNA – made of nucleic acids, housed in the
nucleus, contains genes
• Chromatin – long strands of DNA that are wrapped around proteins (histones)
• Nucleosome – the DNA/ histone complex

Why does mitosis happen?
• Surface area to volume ratio– As a cell grows, the volume grows faster than
the surface area– Not enough space in the cell membrane to send
wastes out or to bring food in
• Signal is sent to the cell– An organism needs to grow– To repair damage

Structure of a Chromosome•Chromosome – a structure that is made of DNA and the proteins associated with it
•Chromatid – one of the 2 exact copies of the DNA – often referred to as “sister chromatids” – the 2 of them together make a chromosome
•Centromere – the point where the 2 chromatids are connected together to make a chromosome

Homologous Chromosomes
•two chromosomes that code for the same traits. One is from mom the other is from dad

Cell Cycle• Interphase
– Majority of a cell’s life– Cell grows– Chromosomes duplicate
• Mitosis– Creates 2 daughter cells
that are identical to the parent cell
– Cell division

Interphase
• G1– Growth One– The cell spends most of its life
• S – Chromosomes are duplicated
• G2– Organelles and other parts needed for cell
division are duplicated

Mitosis
• Prophase – the chromosomes become visible – the nuclear envelope disappears – pro = first
• Metaphase – the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
• Anaphase – the sister chromatids move away from each other
• Telophase – begins as chromatids reach opposite ends of the cell

Cytokinesis
• The cytoplasm and organelles are divided between the two sides
• Plants: – A cell plate begins forming
• Animals:– A cleavage furrow forms as the
cell pinches inward

When Good Cells Go Bad!
• Who will develop it? – ½ of men and 1/3 of women in the U.S. will
develop cancer in their lifetime
• What is it? – Uncontrolled cell division
• What causes the cell to keep dividing? – Failure to produce internal regulators or respond
to external regulators

Causes of Cancer• a. Tobacco use – lung, mouth, esophageal,
cervical cancer• b. Asbestos – lung cancer• c. Radiation exposure• d. Viral infection - HPV• e. Charred meat – colon cancer• f. Genetic• g. Chemical exposure• h. UV exposure (sun or tanning bed) – skin
cancer• i. Drinking more than one drink a day for women
or 2 a day for men

Kinds of Cancer• Metastatic
– More dangerous– Cancer travels in the
body
• Nonmetastatic– Usually less dangerous– Cancer does not travel
Not all cancers form tumors and not all tumors are cancerous!
