Cell division plays many important roles in the lives of organisms Cell division is reproduction at the cellular level Requires duplication of chromosomes Sorting new sets of chromosomes into the resulting pair of daughter cells. Cell division is used for: –Reproduction of single-celled organisms –Growth of multicellular organisms from a fertilized egg into an adult –Repair and replacement of cells –Sperm and egg production. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Cell division plays many important roles in the lives of organisms Living organisms reproduce by two methods. –Asexual reproduction –Does not involve sperm & egg –Offspring are identical to the parent –Involves inheriting all genes from one parent –Sexual reproduction –Requires fertilization of an egg by sperm –Offspring look similar to parents, but show variations in traits –Involves inheriting a unique set of genes from its two parents.

Prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) reproduce by binary fission “dividing in half” Binary Fission Occurs in Three Steps: 1.Duplication of the chromosome and separation of the copies, 2.Continued elongation of the cell and movement of the copies 3.Division into two daughter cells. The chromosome of a prokaryote is: A singular circular DNA molecule & associated proteins Much smaller than eukaryotic DNA Prokaryotes reproduce by binary fission © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

THE EUKARYOTIC CELL CYCLE AND MITOSIS © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
7
Eukaryotic cells store most of their genes on multiple chromosomes within the nucleus. Eukaryotic chromosomes are composed of chromatin = one long DNA molecule and proteins The large, complex chromosomes of eukaryotes duplicate with each cell division © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
8
Before a eukaryotic cell divides, it duplicates all of its chromosomes, resulting in two copies called sister chromatids joined by a centromere. When a cell divides, sister chromatids separate from each other, (now called chromosomes) and sort into separate daughter cells. The large, complex chromosomes of eukaryotes duplicate with each cell division © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

The cell cycle extends from the time a cell is first formed until its own division and consists of two stages 1.Interphase: –G 1 —growth, increase in cytoplasm –S—duplication of chromosomes –G 2 —growth, preparation for division 2.Mitotic phase: Nuclear Division –Mitosis—nuclear division –Cytokinesis—division of cytoplasm The cell cycle multiplies cells © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
11
Mitosis (nuclear division) progresses through a series of stages): –prophase/prometaphase –metaphase –anaphase –telophase Cytokinesis Cell division is a continuum of dynamic changes © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

MITOSIS Anaphase Metaphase Telophase and Cytokinesis Metaphase plate Cleavage furrow Nuclear envelope forming Daughter chromosomes Mitotic spindle
14
Prophase –Microtubules (mitotic spindle) begin to emerge from centrosomes –Spindle microtubules attach to kinetochores, moving chromosomes towards center of the cell –Chromatin condenses into chromosomes (now visible with a light microscope) –Nucleoli, nuclear envelope disappear Cell division is a continuum of dynamic changes © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
15
Metaphase –Chromosomes align at the cell equator in preparation for division Cell division is a continuum of dynamic changes © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
16
Anaphase –Sister chromatids separate at centromeres and daughter chromosomes are moved to opposite poles of the cell –The cell elongates due to lengthening of nonkinetochore microtubules. Cell division is a continuum of dynamic changes © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
17
Telophase –The cell continues to elongate –The nuclear envelope forms around chromosomes at each pole, establishing daughter nuclei –Chromosomes uncoil and nucleoli reappear. –The spindle disappears. Cell division is a continuum of dynamic changes © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
18
Cytokinesis differs in animal and plant cells. In animal cells a cleavage furrow forms from a contracting ring of microfilaments, interacting with myosin; the cleavage furrow deepens to separate the contents into two cells. Cell division is a continuum of dynamic changes © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
19
Cytokinesis Cell wall of the parent cell Daughter nucleus Cell wall Plasma membrane Vesicles containing cell wall material Cell plate forming New cell wall Cell plate Daughter cells In plant cells a cell plate forms in the middle, from vesicles containing cell wall material; the cell plate grows outward to reach the edges, dividing the contents into two cells, each with a plasma membrane and cell wall.
20
The cells within an organism’s body divide and develop at different rates. Cell division is controlled by –the presence of essential nutrients –growth factors, proteins that stimulate division –density-dependent inhibition, in which crowded cells stop dividing –anchorage dependence, the need for cells to be in contact with a solid surface to divide. Anchorage, cell density, and chemical growth factors affect cell division © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Cancer cells escape controls on the cell cycle. Cancer cells divide rapidly, often in the absence of growth factors, spread to other tissues through the circulatory system, and grow without being inhibited by other cells. CONNECTION: Growing out of control, cancer cells produce malignant tumors © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
25
A tumor is an abnormally growing mass of body cells. –Benign tumors remain at the original site. –Malignant tumors spread to other locations, a process called metastasis. CONNECTION: Growing out of control, cancer cells produce malignant tumors © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

MEIOSIS AND CROSSING OVER © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
28
In humans, body (somatic) cells have 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes: One member of each is from each parent. One pair = sex chromosomes = X and Y; they differ in size and genetic composition. The other 22 pairs of chromosomes are autosomes; they have the same size and genetic composition. Chromosomes are matched in homologous pairs
29
Homologous chromosomes are matched in length, centromere position, and gene locations (except X & Y) A locus (plural, loci) is the position of a gene. Different versions of a gene may be found at the same locus on maternal and paternal chromosomes = alleles Chromosomes are matched in homologous pairs © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

31
Humans and many animals and plants are diploid meaning that their body cells that have two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. Gametes have a single set of chromosomes © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
32
Meiosis is a process that converts diploid nuclei to haploid nuclei. –Diploid cells have two homologous sets of chromosomes –Haploid cells have one set of chromosomes Meiosis occurs in sex organs, producing gametes= sperm and eggs Fertilization is the union of sperm and egg. The zygote has a diploid chromosome number, one set from each parent Gametes have a single set of chromosomes © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

34
Meiosis I – Prophase I – events occurring in the nucleus. –Chromatin condenses –Homologous chromosomes synapse and the pairs, with four chromatids, is called a tetrad –Nonsister chromatids exchange genetic material by crossing over Meiosis reduces the chromosome number from diploid to haploid © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
35
Genetic recombination is the production of new combinations of genes due to crossing over Crossing over is an exchange of corresponding segments between nonsister chromatids on homologous chromosomes Crossing over further increases genetic variability © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Tetrad Chiasma

Genetic variation in gametes results from independent orientation at metaphase I and random fertilization Independent orientation of chromosomes in meiosis and random fertilization lead to varied offspring © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
46
Independent orientation at metaphase I –Each pair of chromosomes independently aligns at the cell equator –There is an equal probability of the maternal or paternal chromosome moving towards a given pole –The number of combinations for chromosomes packaged into gametes is 2 n where n = haploid number of chromosomes Independent orientation of chromosomes in meiosis and random fertilization lead to varied offspring © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

56
Nondisjunction is the failure of chromosomes or chromatids to separate normally during meiosis. This can happen during –meiosis I, if both members of a homologous pair go to one pole or –meiosis II if both sister chromatids go to one pole. Fertilization after nondisjunction yields zygotes with altered numbers of chromosomes. Accidents during meiosis can alter chromosome number © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Chromosome breakage can lead to rearrangements that can produce –genetic disorders or, if changes occur in somatic cells, cancer. These rearrangements may include –a deletion, the loss of a chromosome segment, –a duplication, the repeat of a chromosome segment, –an inversion, the reversal of a chromosome segment, or –a translocation, the attachment of a segment to a nonhomologous chromosome that can be reciprocal Alterations of chromosome structure can cause birth defects and cancer
