1. Cell Reproduction/Mitosis Chapter 12

2. What you need to know! Mitotic Cell division results in genetically identical daughter cells The mitotic phase alternates with interphase in the cell cycle

3. Overview I.Cell Division Overview II.The Cell Cycle III.Mitosis – nuclear division/cytokinesis IV.Stages of Mitosis

4. Cell Division Life depends on the ability of cells to reproduce/copy Cell Division = 1 cell divides into 2 Unicellular organisms cell division = reproduction –Prokaryotes, Protists –Bacteria = binary fission

5. Cell Division Multicellular organisms cell division = growth and development, repair and replace. –Protists, fungi, plants and animals 2 types of multicellular organism cells: 1.Somatic Cells: Body cells of an organism that do all the daily function of the organism 2.Germ Cells: reproductive cells (eggs and sperm)

6. Cell Cycle G 0 : the cell spends its life working and growing (i.e. breaking down sugars, making ATP, enzymes) Sometimes a cell will prepare to divide –1 mother cell  2 daughter cells Interphase –G 1 (Gap1): Growth, development, organelle production, etc. Cell must enter reproduction (S phase) or not (G 0 ) –S (Synthesis): DNA replication –G 2 (Gap2): continued growth and preparation for division (centrosomes/centrioles duplicate)

7. Cell Cycle Mitosis (M): nuclear division Cytokinesis: division of cytoplasm and cell membrane/cell wall

8. DNA Chromatin: spread out DNA- protein complex. In Eukaryotes the proteins are histones. Human cells have 3 billion base pairs. Chromosomes: condensed strands of DNA distinct in number and length for each organism. One chromosome is made up of 30 to 150 million base pairs.

9. DNA Humans have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs). Each chromosome contains a few thousand genes that code for cellular proteins

10. DNA Diploid indicates that our somatic (body) cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes (2n) Haploid indicates that our gametes (sex cells) have 23 chromosomes (1n or n)

11. Mitosis: Division of the Nucleus Problem: distribution of one exact copy of each of their chromosomes to each new cell. Each chromosome contains thousands of genes, each necessary to the proper functioning of the organism. Humans have ~120,000 genes spread over 46 chromosomes in each somatic cell.

12. Mitosis During Mitosis all access to the DNA stops as chromatin coils up and condenses into visible chromosomes Each replicated chromosome is composed of 2 identical parts (sister chromatids) held together by a centromere.

13. Mitosis Sister chromatids are pulled apart during mitosis, and partitioned into 2 daughter cells Result of mitosis & cytokenesis: 2 daughter cells genetically identical to the parent cell.

14. IV. Stages of Mitosis Prophase: Chromosomes condense, centrosomes are pushed apart by growing spindle, nuclear envelope disintegrates

15. Stages of Mitosis Prometaphase: the 2 centromeres of each chromosome attach to one kinetochore spindle fiber; centrosomes move to opposite poles Kinetochore spindle fiber Non Kinetochore spindle fiber

16. Stages of Mitosis Metaphase: Chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate (equator); centrosomes are at opposite poles

17. Stages of Mitosis Anaphase: Chromosomes separate due to shortening of kinetochore spindle fibers; cell elongates due to lengthening of non-kinetochore spindle fibers Kinetochore spindle fiber Non Kinetochore spindle fiber

18. Stages of Mitosis Telophase: Chromosomes immediately uncoil and resume transcription activities; spindle proteins disassemble; nuclear envelope reassembles

20. Cytoskeleton Creates Chromosome Migration Spindle fibers are microtubules made of tubulin proteins that are always present in the cytoplasm Enzymes assemble and disassemble spindle fibers

21. Centromere region contains 1.Centromere protein clamp, holding the 2 sister chromatids together; deactivated during anaphase 2.Kinetochore motor protein; 1 on each sister chromatid

22. Kinetochore microtubule Several microtubules attach to each kinetochore motor protein Motor protein starts moving (walks along the spindle fibers); kinetochore microtubules shorten, pulling chromsomes (at the metaphase plate) apart –ATP hydrolysis powers the motion

23. Non Kinetochore Microtubules Microtubules lengthen, pushing the two poles apart (cell expands) Kinetochore spindle fiber Non Kinetochore spindle fiber

24. Cytokinesis Animal: Cleavage furrow –Made by microfilaments (actin fibers) –A drawstring around the middle of the cell Cell pinches off into 2 daughter cells

25. Mitosis & Cytokinesis in Plant Cells Plants have centrosomes w/out centrioles No cleavage furrow –plant cells cannot separate due to cell wall Cell plate grows through divided cell

26. Duration of the Cell Cycle Prokaryotic Cells – 20 minutes No DNA/Histone complex + fast DNA replication (500 NT/sec) No spindle fibers, no mitosis 2 DNA rings are attached to 2 spots of the plasma membrane which grows apart 1 plasmid

27. Duration of the Cell Cycle Eukaryotic Cells – 12-48 hrs Longest phase of the cell cycle is interphase Longest phase of mitosis is prophase

28. Frequency of Cell Cycles Depends on cell type: Cell typeLife span/frequency Esophagus, epidermis2-3 days Small intestine1-2 days Large intestine6 days Red blood cells3 months White blood cellsUp to 10 years Nerve cellsLifetime (G 0 )
