1. Chapter 9 Cellular Reproduction

2. Cell Size Does size matter (for cells)? If yes, why? Surface area to volume – Transport waste out, nutrients in, communicate – More surface area/lower volume = fast/efficient – Be small

3. Visualize Surface Area

4. The Cell Cycle A cell’s life from birth to reproduction – Note: “parent” cell becomes 1 of 2 daughter cells

5. Stages of the Cell Cycle G 1 : 1 st phase after division, grow S: copy DNA (2 sets now) G 2 : prep for division, reproduce organelles, etc. M Phase: – mitosis occurs, nucleus splits – cytokinesis splits cell in 2, 1 nucleus per cell

6. The M Phase Mitosis consists of 4 parts following G2 – Prophase Form chromosomes, fragment nucleus, form/attach spindle fibers, centrioles/centrosomes migrate to poles – Metaphase Attached spindle fibers move chromosomes (bound sister chromatids) to middle of cell, line them up – Anaphase Centromeres split, sister chromatids pulled by spindle fiber to separate cell poles – Telophase Opposite of prophase

8. Cytokinesis In Animal Cells – Microfilament ring shrinks to “pinch” the cell in 2 In Plant Cells – A new membrane and cell wall, called the cell plate, forms down the center of the cell Why don’t plants and animals use the same method?

9. Mitosis in action

10. Cell Cycle Regulation Many molecules involved (cyclin/CDK) Ensure controlled growth and reproduction

11. Checkpoints During the phases of interphase and during mitosis there are points the process can be shut down The ultimate shutdown can occur in G1, in cells that never reproduce (called G0)

12. Why so careful about Division? Uncontrolled cell growth can occur Cells multiply, but don’t do their jobs – Crowd out and damage tissue Such cells that spread (metastasize) are called cancer

13. How does cancer start? Several genes prevent cancerous growth – Mutations can damage these genes – They all must be damaged to get cancer The environment can cause mutations Inherited mutations can exist

14. Apoptosis Programmed cell death (self destruct) – Cell breaks into small compartmental pieces

15. Stem Cells Can be any type of cell when they grow up Unspecialized cells in: – Early embryos (controversial) – Partly in various adult tissues (bone marrow) Cellular Reproduction
