Cell Division Ensures the Passage of Genetic Information

8.1 Cell division is involved in both asexual and sexual reproduction
Somatic cells - body cells make up most of the organism Asexual reproduction - increase in number of somatic cells or the number unicellular organisms Germ cells - found only in testes and ovaries, they produce sperm or eggs Sexual reproduction – requires the production of eggs and sperm
4
8.2 Prokaryotes reproduce asexually
In bacteria and archaea, reproduction consists of duplicating the single chromosome, located in the nucleoid, and distributing a copy to each daughter cell
5
Figure 8.2 Prokaryotes use binary fission to reproduce
6
Somatic Cells Have a Cell Cycle and Undergo Mitosis and Cytokinesis
7
8.3 The eukaryotic cell cycle is a set series of events
Interphase - the time when a cell performs its usual functions Figure 8.3A Stages of the cell cycle.
9
M (Mitotic) Stage Cell division occurs during the M stage and encompasses both division of the nucleus and division of the cytoplasm Mitosis - nuclear division in the cell cycle Cytokinesis - division of the cytoplasm
10
Figure 8.3B Cytokinesis is a noticeable part of the cell cycle
11
8.4 Eukaryotic chromosomes are visible during cell division
When a eukaryotic cell is not undergoing division, the DNA within a chromosome is a mass of thin threads called chromatin Before nuclear division chromatin condenses, 2 identical chromatids are sister chromatids
12

13
Somatic Cells Are Diploid (2n)
Diploid (2n) - includes two chromosomes of each kind During mitosis, a 2n nucleus divides to produce daughter nuclei that are also 2n A dividing cell is called the parent cell and the new cells are called the daughter cells
14
Gametes Are Haploid (n)
Haploid (n) number of chromosomes, contains only one chromosome of each kind Half the diploid number Figure 8.4B When sister chromatids separate, each daughter nucleus gets a chromosome
15
8.5 Mitosis maintains the chromosome number
Before mitosis, DNA has replicated, each double helix is in a chromatid and the chromosomes consist of sister chromatids attached at a centromere The centrosome - the microtubule-organizing center of the cell divides before mitosis Spindle fibers separate the sister chromatids of the duplicated chromosomes

8.6 Cytokinesis divides the cytoplasm
Cytokinesis follows mitosis in most cells Cytokinesis in plant cells occurs by a process different than in animal cells Cell plate - newly formed plasma membrane that expands outward

Cancer Is Uncontrolled Cell Division
24
8.7 Cell cycle control occurs at checkpoints
The cell cycle has checkpoints that can delay the cell cycle until all is well Apoptosis - programmed cell death
25
Figure 8.7 Cell cycle checkpoints
27
8.8 Signals affect the cell cycle control system
Signaling molecules stimulate or inhibit Kinases remove phosphate from ATP and add it to another molecule Cyclins combine with kinases Control system for cell division control whether kinases and cyclins are present
28
Figure 8.8A Internal signals of the cell cycle are kinases and cyclins
29
Figure 8.8B A cell-signaling pathway activates the control system to produce kinases and cyclins
30
Cell Cycle Inhibition Contact Inhibition - In a culture, cells divide until they line a container in a sheet and then stop dividing Cells “remember” number of divisions Telomere - repeating DNA base sequence Each time a cell divides some portion of a telomere is lost When telomeres become too short, chromosomes fuse and do not duplicate
31
8.9 Cancer cells have abnormal characteristics
A mutation (a DNA change) causes a cell to divide uncontrollably or ignore apoptosis Carcinogenesis - development of cancer Characteristics of cancer cells Lack differentiation Have abnormal nuclei Form tumors Metastasis - establishing new tumors Angiogenesis - formation of new blood vessels

Behaviors that help prevent cancer
APPLYING THE CONCEPTS—HOW BIOLOGY IMPACTS OUR LIVES 8.10 Protective behaviors and diet help prevent cancer Behaviors that help prevent cancer Don’t smoke Use sunscreen Avoid radiation Be tested for cancer Be aware of occupational hazards Carefully consider hormone therapy Dietary guidelines to reduce cancer risk Increase consumption of foods rich in vitamins A and C Limit consumption of salt-cured, smoked, or nitrite-cured foods Include vegetables from the cabbage family Be moderate in the consumption of alcohol Maintain a healthy weight
34
Meiosis Produces Cells That Become the Gametes in Animals and Spores in Other Organisms
35
8.11 Homologous chromosomes separate during meiosis
Karyotype - picture of chromosomes in numbered pairs called homologous chromosomes or homologues X and Y chromosomes are the sex chromosomes because they contain the genes that determine gender Autosomes - all the pairs of chromosomes except the sex chromosomes
36
Figure 8.11 A karyotype shows that the chromosomes occur as pairs
37
Meiosis Occurs during the production of the sperm and egg
Requires two divisions Meiosis I - the chromosomes of each homologous pair separate Meiosis II - the sister chromatids of each duplicated chromosome separate
39
8.12 Synapsis and crossing-over occur during meiosis I
Synapsis - homologous chromosomes come together and line up side by side forming a tetrad Crossing-over - during synapsis, nonsister chromatids exchange genetic material
40
Figure 8.12A Synapsis of homologues
41
Figure 8.12B Crossing-over of nonsister chromatids
43
8.13 Sexual reproduction increases genetic variation
Fertilization, the union of a male and a female gamete, enhances genetic variation Sexual reproduction brings about genetic variation, and some offspring may have a better chance of survival and reproductive success than others
44
Figure 8.13 Independent assortment increases genetic variation
46
8.14 Meiosis requires two division cycles
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase occur during both meiosis I and meiosis II No replication of DNA occurs during a period called interkinesis between meiosis I and II

8.15 The life cycle of most multicellular organisms includes both mitosis and meiosis
Life cycle - in sexually reproducing organisms, all the reproductive events from one generation to the next Spermatogenesis in males, occurs in the testes and produces sperm Oogenesis in females, occurs in the ovaries and produces eggs Zygote - product of the sperm and egg joining during fertilization, has homologous pairs of chromosomes

8.16 Meiosis can be compared to mitosis
57
Chromosomal Abnormalities Can Be Inherited
58
8.17 An abnormal chromosome number is sometimes traceable to nondisjunction
Polyploidy - a eukaryote has three or more complete sets of chromosomes Aneuploidy - an organism has more or less than the normal number of chromosomes Monosomy only one of a type of chromosome Trisomy three of a type of chromosome Nondisjunction - in meiosis I homologues do not separate and both go into the same daughter cell, or in meiosis II sister chromatids fail to separate and both daughter chromosomes go to the same gamete
59

60
Figure 8.17B Nondisjunction of chromosomes during meiosis II of oogenesis, followed by fertilization with normal sperm
61
8.18 Abnormal chromosome numbers cause syndromes
Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome) Over 90% of individuals with Down syndrome have three copies of chromosome 21 Abnormal Sex Chromosome Inheritance Turner syndrome females are born with only a single X chromosome A male with Klinefelter syndrome has two or more X chromosomes in addition to a Y chromosome
62
8.19 Abnormal chromosome structure also causes syndromes
Various agents in the environment, such as radiation, certain organic chemicals, or viruses, can cause chromosomes to break Deletion - an end of a chromosome breaks off or two simultaneous breaks lead to the loss of an internal segment Duplication - the presence of a particular chromosome segment more than once in the same chromosome Inversion - a segment of a chromosome is turned 180 degrees Translocation - the movement of a chromosome segment from one chromosome to another nonhomologous chromosome

Connecting the Concepts: Chapter 8
All cells receive DNA from preexisting cells through the process of cell division Mitosis is part of the cell cycle, and there are negative consequences if the cell cycle comes out of synchronization Meiosis is part of the production of gametes, which have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell Sexual reproduction increases genetic variability
