Chapter 12 The Cell Cycle

Overview: The Key Roles of Cell Division
The ability of organisms to produce more of their own kind best distinguishes living things from nonliving matter The continuity of life is based on the reproduction of cells, or cell division © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Concept 12.1: Most cell division results in genetically identical daughter cells
Most cell division results in daughter cells with identical genetic information, DNA The exception is meiosis, a special type of division that can produce sperm and egg cells © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Cellular Organization of the Genetic Material
All the DNA in a cell constitutes the cell’s genome A genome can consist of a single DNA molecule (common in prokaryotic cells) or a number of DNA molecules (common in eukaryotic cells) DNA molecules in a cell are packaged into chromosomes © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Somatic cells (nonreproductive cells) have two sets of chromosomes
Eukaryotic chromosomes consist of chromatin, a complex of DNA and protein that condenses during cell division Every eukaryotic species has a characteristic number of chromosomes in each cell nucleus Somatic cells (nonreproductive cells) have two sets of chromosomes Gametes (reproductive cells: sperm and eggs) have half as many chromosomes as somatic cells © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Distribution of Chromosomes During Eukaryotic Cell Division
In preparation for cell division, DNA is replicated and the chromosomes condense Each duplicated chromosome has two sister chromatids (joined copies of the original chromosome), which separate during cell division The centromere is the narrow “waist” of the duplicated chromosome, where the two chromatids are most closely attached © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Eukaryotic cell division consists of
Mitosis, the division of the genetic material in the nucleus Cytokinesis, the division of the cytoplasm Gametes are produced by a variation of cell division called meiosis Meiosis yields nonidentical daughter cells that have only one set of chromosomes, half as many as the parent cell © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Concept 12.2: The mitotic phase alternates with interphase in the cell cycle
In 1882, the German anatomist Walther Flemming developed dyes to observe chromosomes during mitosis and cytokinesis © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Phases of the Cell Cycle
The cell cycle consists of Mitotic (M) phase (mitosis and cytokinesis) Interphase (cell growth and copying of chromosomes in preparation for cell division) © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Interphase (about 90% of the cell cycle) can be divided into subphases
G1 phase (“first gap”) S phase (“synthesis”) G2 phase (“second gap”) The cell grows during all three phases, but chromosomes are duplicated only during the S phase © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

INTERPHASE S (DNA synthesis) G1 Cytokinesis G2 Mitosis

The Mitotic Spindle: A Closer Look
The mitotic spindle is a structure made of microtubules that controls chromosome movement during mitosis In animal cells, assembly of spindle microtubules begins in the centrosome, the microtubule organizing center The centrosome replicates during interphase, forming two centrosomes that migrate to opposite ends of the cell during prophase and prometaphase For the Cell Biology Video Spindle Formation During Mitosis, go to Animation and Video Files. © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

An aster (a radial array of short microtubules) extends from each centrosome
The spindle includes the centrosomes, the spindle microtubules, and the asters © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Kinetochores are protein complexes associated with centromeres
During prometaphase, some spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of chromosomes and begin to move the chromosomes Kinetochores are protein complexes associated with centromeres At metaphase, the chromosomes are all lined up at the metaphase plate, an imaginary structure at the midway point between the spindle’s two poles © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Binary Fission in Bacteria
Prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) reproduce by a type of cell division called binary fission In binary fission, the chromosome replicates (beginning at the origin of replication), and the two daughter chromosomes actively move apart The plasma membrane pinches inward, dividing the cell into two © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

The Evolution of Mitosis
Since prokaryotes evolved before eukaryotes, mitosis probably evolved from binary fission Certain protists exhibit types of cell division that seem intermediate between binary fission and mitosis © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Concept 12.3: The eukaryotic cell cycle is regulated by a molecular control system
The frequency of cell division varies with the type of cell These differences result from regulation at the molecular level Cancer cells manage to escape the usual controls on the cell cycle © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Evidence for Cytoplasmic Signals
The cell cycle appears to be driven by specific chemical signals present in the cytoplasm Some evidence for this hypothesis comes from experiments in which cultured mammalian cells at different phases of the cell cycle were fused to form a single cell with two nuclei © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

EXPERIMENT Experiment 1 Experiment 2 S G1 M G1 RESULTS S S M M
Figure 12.14 EXPERIMENT Experiment 1 Experiment 2 S G1 M G1 RESULTS S S M M Figure Inquiry: Do molecular signals in the cytoplasm regulate the cell cycle? When a cell in the S phase was fused with a cell in G1, the G1 nucleus immediately entered the S phase—DNA was synthesized. When a cell in the M phase was fused with a cell in G1, the G1 nucleus immediately began mitosis—a spindle formed and chromatin condensed, even though the chromosome had not been duplicated.

The Cell Cycle Control System
The sequential events of the cell cycle are directed by a distinct cell cycle control system, which is similar to a clock The cell cycle control system is regulated by both internal and external controls The clock has specific checkpoints where the cell cycle stops until a go-ahead signal is received © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

G1 checkpoint Control system S G1 G2 M M checkpoint G2 checkpoint
Figure 12.15 G1 checkpoint Control system S G1 G2 M Figure Mechanical analogy for the cell cycle control system. M checkpoint G2 checkpoint

For many cells, the G1 checkpoint seems to be the most important
If a cell receives a go-ahead signal at the G1 checkpoint, it will usually complete the S, G2, and M phases and divide If the cell does not receive the go-ahead signal, it will exit the cycle, switching into a nondividing state called the G0 phase © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

The Cell Cycle Clock: Cyclins and Cyclin-Dependent Kinases
Two types of regulatory proteins are involved in cell cycle control: cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) Cdks activity fluctuates during the cell cycle because it is controlled by cyclins, so named because their concentrations vary with the cell cycle MPF (maturation-promoting factor) is a cyclin-Cdk complex that triggers a cell’s passage past the G2 checkpoint into the M phase © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Stop and Go Signs: Internal and External Signals at the Checkpoints
An example of an internal signal is that kinetochores not attached to spindle microtubules send a molecular signal that delays anaphase Some external signals are growth factors, proteins released by certain cells that stimulate other cells to divide For example, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) stimulates the division of human fibroblast cells in culture © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

A sample of human connective tissue is cut up into small pieces.

Figure 12.18a 10 m Figure The effect of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) on cell division.

A clear example of external signals is density-dependent inhibition, in which crowded cells stop dividing Most animal cells also exhibit anchorage dependence, in which they must be attached to a substratum in order to divide Cancer cells exhibit neither density-dependent inhibition nor anchorage dependence © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Loss of Cell Cycle Controls in Cancer Cells
Cancer cells do not respond normally to the body’s control mechanisms Cancer cells may not need growth factors to grow and divide They may make their own growth factor They may convey a growth factor’s signal without the presence of the growth factor They may have an abnormal cell cycle control system © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

A normal cell is converted to a cancerous cell by a process called transformation
Cancer cells that are not eliminated by the immune system form tumors, masses of abnormal cells within otherwise normal tissue If abnormal cells remain only at the original site, the lump is called a benign tumor Malignant tumors invade surrounding tissues and can metastasize, exporting cancer cells to other parts of the body, where they may form additional tumors © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

A tumor grows from a single cancer cell.
