Chapter 9 Cell Reproduction
2
Review: What we know Cells have DNA / genetic information We pass on our info to our children All our cells contain DNA Chromosomes are bundles of DNA
3
What we need know How do our cells make new cells? What can go wrong? Do all cells get made the same? Can do bacteria and viruses make new cells?
4
In the beginning… You start life as a single cell Human Embryo Day 3 Human Embryo 20 Weeks
5
Until the end of time… New cells made throughout entire life Called cell reproduction
6
Cell Reproduction Goal: – Replace old or worn out cells – Growth & Development
7
Most cells are less than 100 micrometers –Smaller than a period. at the end of a sentence! Why? –To ensure that the needs of the cell are met. http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/begin/cells/scale/ Cell Size
8
Factors that influence cell size are: –Ratio of surface area to volume Surface area is the area covered by the plasma membrane (nutrients & wastes must pass through) SA = L x W x # sides Cell Size Continued:
9
Volume is the space taken by the inner contents of the cell (including organelles and nucleus) V = L x W x H Cell Size Continued:
10
As cell grows the ratio of surface area to volume will continue to decrease! Volume increases much more rapidly than the surface area! Cell has TROUBLE: - supplying nutrients - expelling waste products Cell Size Continued:
11
SMALL cells have a higher ratio & can sustain themselves! REMEMBER: How do substances move in a cell? Cell Size Continued:
12
Communication breaks down over long distances! Cell Size Continued:
13
Investigate Cell Size: Complete the Investigation of Cell Size by creating a table on your handout. Hypothetical Cells SAVSA:V Ratio 0.00002 m 0.001 m 2.5 m 30 cm 15 m
14
Investigation of Cell Size: So based on your calculations do cells become large? Are large organisms large because they contain extra large cells or just more standard – sized cells?
15
Cell Cycle AKA A Cell’s Life
16
Once cell reaches a certain size it must: –Stop growing or –Divide The cell cycle is a cell’s cycle of growing and dividing. One complete cycle produces two cells. Cell Cycle
17
When repeated continuously the result is a continuous production of NEW cells! Cell Cycle
18
Interphase –Cell grows, carries our cellular functions, & replicates (makes copies) of DNA Mitosis –Cell’s nucleus and nuclear material divide Cytokinesis –Cell’s cytoplasm divides creating a new cell 3 Main Phases of Cell Cycle:
19
Divided into 3 stages: –G1 Cell grows, carries out normal cell functions, prepares to replicate DNA. Checkpoint for size & nutrients! Interphase:
20
–S (aka the synthesis phase) Cell copies (replicates) its DNA to prepare for cell division Interphase continued:
21
–G2 Cell prepares for the division of its nucleus Checkpoint to make sure cell is ready for mitosis! Interphase continued:
23
M Phase of Cell Cycle a.k.a. Mitosis Result = two identical cells Forms all human body cells Ex: skin, blood, bones, stomach Slows with age
24
Different Forms of DNA: Remember DNA is found in the nucleus DNA Deoxyribonucleic Acid In it’s normal state DNA is loosely coiled and in the form of chromatin.
25
Chromatin: Looks like loose spaghetti!
26
During what phase is DNA replicated? “S” phase of Interphase. Humans have 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs: –23 from mom –23 from dad Chromosomes:
27
Once copied the DNA will begin to coil tightly around proteins and is now called chromosomes. Chromosomes:
28
Chromatid (s): The chromosomes 1-23 from mom will then pair up with chromosome 1-23 from dad respectively!
29
Once chromosomes are paired they are now called sister chromatids. Each half is a chromatid but together they are sister chromatids. Chromatid (s):
30
Chromatid Chromatid
31
Centromere: Each sister chromatid is held together by a centromere!
33
Remember Before Cells Divide DNA replication occurs chromosomes double This stage of the cell cycle is called interphase
34
Interphase Longest stage of cell cycle Cell is preparing for mitosis Cell gets larger & centrioles double
35
Interphase

Interphase (cont.)
37
Plant Cells in Interphase

39
Stages of Mitosis P – M – A – T
40
PROPHASE Chromosomes shorten & thicken (shaped like an X) –Each half = chromatid –Attached by centromere. Nuclear membrane breaks down Centrioles move apart Spindle fibers form between centrioles
41
Prophase
42
Plant Cell in Early Prophase
43
Plant Cell in Late Prophase
44
METAPHASE Centrioles move to opposite sides of cell Spindle fibers stretch between centrioles Chromosomes line up in the middle by fibers connected to the centromere
45
Sister chromatids are pulled to line up at center of cell “Meta-” Prefix meaning middle METAPHASE (cont.)
46
Centromere Part that holds chromosomes together
47
Plant Cell in Metaphase
49
ANAPHASE Sister chromatids are pulled apart Fibers pull chromatids toward centrioles
50
Anaphase
51
Plant Cell in Anaphase
53
TELOPHASE Fibers begin to disappear Nuclear membrane begins to reform Cell membrane pinches in
54
Plant Cell in Telophase
55
Cytokinesis Last stage of cell cycle Process of dividing the cytoplasm Starts during anaphase finishes after telophase
56
In the end… Each cell has a complete set of chromosomes Two identical daughter cells formed from one parent cell
57
Mitosis Completed

61
Changes in Rate of Mitosis Cancer: Cells divide at a fast rate out of control Malignant: dangerous Benign: not dangerous
62
Abnormal Cell Division A tumor is a mass of tissue that results from excessive cell division
64
Apoptosis: Not every cell is destined to survive! Some cells go through programmed cell death called apoptosis. –Cell shrinks & shrivels All animal cells have a “death program” that can be activated.
65
Discovered in 1998 Unspecialized cells that can develop into specialized cells under the right conditions. Two types: –Embryonic stem cells –Adult stem cells Stem Cells
68
How other cells divide 1.Bacteria (Prokaryote) One cell splits into two Asexual reproduction Same genes as “parent”
69
Bacteria Cell Reproduction
70
How other cells divide (cont.) 2.Viruses – Inject their DNA into other cells Not considered “living” cells
71
