Cell Division Chapter 10
2
Anatomy of a Chromosome
3
Chromosome- coils of DNA and proteins
Centromere- where the two chromatids attach Chromatid- two exact copies of DNA that make up a chromosome
4
Limits to Cell Growth DNA Overload Exchanging Material
The larger a cell becomes, the more demands the cell places on its DNA Exchanging Material The cell has trouble moving enough nutrients and wastes across the cell membrane if the cell is too big. Surface Area:Volume ratio can’t be too small
6
Cell Cycle Interphase (inter- means “between”) M phase G0 phase
G1 phase – Cell growth S phase – DNA replication G2 phase – preparation for cell division Cells are in interphase most of the time. M phase Mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis G0 phase Cells that cannot divide like nerve cells, red blood cells, and cardiac cells
7
Cell Cycle
8
Prophase What are the important events happening during Prophase? A?
B? C? D? What are the important events happening during Prophase? Plant cells in prophase Pair of centrioles
9
Prophase Chromosomes condense into sister chromatids
Plant cells in prophase Prophase Chromosomes condense into sister chromatids Chromatids are joined by a centromere Centrioles appear and form mitotic spindle Nucleolus disappears and nuclear envelope dissolves Longest phase of mitosis (50-60%) Pair of centrioles
10
Metaphase What events are occurring during Metaphase? A? B? C? D?
Animal cell Plant cell A? B? C? D? What events are occurring during Metaphase?
11
Metaphase Centrioles on opposite ends of the cell
Animal cell Plant cell Centrioles on opposite ends of the cell Microtubules of mitotic spindle attach to the centromeres Chromosomes line up across the middle (equator) of the cell
12
Anaphase What important events are occurring at Anaphase? A? B? C? D?
Early anaphase (plant) Late anaphase (plant) A? B? C? D? Anaphase (animal)
13
Anaphase Sister chromatids separate
Early anaphase (plant) Late anaphase (plant) Sister chromatids separate Chromosomes migrate to opposite ends of the cell Anaphase (animal)
14
Telophase What important events happen during Telophase? A? B? C? D?
Plant cell Animal cell What important events happen during Telophase? A? B? C? D?
15
Telophase Chromosomes begin to disperse Nuclear envelopes reform
Plant cell Animal cell Chromosomes begin to disperse Nuclear envelopes reform Mitotic spindle breaks apart
16
Cytokinesis Difficult to distinguish from telophase
Animal cell Plant cell Difficult to distinguish from telophase In animal cells the cell membrane pinches in forming two daughter cells In plant cells a cell plate forms between the daughter nuclei and a new cell wall forms at the cell plate
17
Which stage is each photo in??
How do you know??
18
Interphase What are the important events at each phase? G1 phase –??
Now its YOUR turn! What are the important events at each phase? G1 phase –?? S phase –?? G2 phase –?? What types of cells would be in G0 phase??
20
Cancer Uncontrolled cell growth Cancer cells smother normal cells
Caused by smoking, exposure to radiation or certain chemicals, some viruses Cancer cells smother normal cells Treatment options Surgery to remove tumor Radiation therapy to halt cell division Chemotherapy to halt cell division
