THE CELL CYCLE
2
THE CYCLE OF LIFE Multicellular You Mitosis Meiosis Unicellular You Unicellular Offspring
3
Cells must be small As cells grow bigger, problems develop DNA Overload Same amount of DNA must serve larger and larger areas Surface Area/Volume Ratio Cytoplasm increases faster than cell membrane Cell can’t exchange enough material Material can’t reach center fast enough WHY MUST CELLS DIVIDE?
4
SURFACE AREA/ VOLUME RATIOS Surface Area (cube) = 6 x width 2 Volume (cube) = width 3 Surface Area/ Volume
5
COMPARING ORGANISMS Unicellular Single cell will go through cycle When cell gets too large, it will divide Produces two new cell, each one is its own organism Form of asexual reproduction called binary fission Each “offspring” is identical to the parent cell Multicellular Beginning Cell- Zygote Cell(s) go through cell cycle to form parts of organism Cell division continues through development, growth, repair, and wear and tear Each division creates 2 new cells identical to the parent cell In some species, can be used for asexual reproduction such as budding and fragmentation
6
DNA REVIEW Chromatin- Form of DNA during interphase Chromosome Form of DNA during cell division Centromere center point holding two sister chromatids together Sister chromatids two copies of a chromosome held together by a centromere
7
Diploid (2n) Cells have 2 sets of chromosomes one inherited from mom and one from dad Found in somatic cells (all cells except sex cells) Different number in different organisms Humans diploid # is 46 Homologous chromosomes- name of the 2 alike chromosomes from each set DIPLOID
8
Haploid (n) Cells have 1 set of chromosomes Found in gametes (sex cells) Diploid # / 2 Human # is 23 (46 / 2) When fertilization occurs, the organisms will have the diploid number again HAPLOID
9
All cells in a multicellular organism except sex cells Beginning cell- zygote (fertilized egg) Totipotent- able to divide and create all the cell types needed in the body Starts dividing to form early embryo (at 5 days is called a blastocyst) Pluripotent- able to divide and create many of the cell types needed in the body Continues to divide to form the all the structures Adult stem cells- found in various parts of the body Multipotent- able to divide and create some of the cell types needed in the body SOMATIC CELLS
10
Also called cell differentiation Many different cell types Each has identical copies of DNA Each type has a unique shape and function CELL SPECIALIZATION
11
THE CELL CYCLE
12
INTERPHASE
14
Gap phase Cell grows and carries out normal functions G1G1
15
S PHASE
16
Gap phase Cell grows and carries out normal functions Other organelles replicate G2G2
17
Some cells will never leave interphase or will stay in interphase for a very long time Phase looks like G1 These cells will not divide G0G0
18
CELL DIVISION
19
Division of the nucleus of somatic cells One division with 4 phases Cell divides into two identical daughter cells Cells start diploid and end diploid MITOSIS
20
PROPHASE
21
PROMETAPHASE
22
METAPHASE
23
ANAPHASE
24
TELOPHASE
25
CYTOKINESIS
26
ANIMAL VS PLANT CYTOKINESIS Animal Cell membrane pinches together to form two cells Plant Cell plate forms Will become cell wall to form two new cells
27
External Controls Growth Factors and Hormones- stimulate cell division Crowding- inhibits cell division Internal Controls Cyclins- proteins whose levels rise and fall during the cell cycle; must reach a certain amount and interact with kinases to create cell division Checkpoints- check that cell cycle is proceeding correctly S phase- checks if all DNA has been copied correctly Metaphase- checks if all chromosomes are on spindle fiber CONTROLLING CELL DIVISION
28
Uncontrolled cell division Usually results from mutations to Oncogenes- accelerate the cell cycle Genes that stop the cell cycle p53 gene- normally stops cell division from occurring until all chromosomes are replicated Cells are undifferentiated and don’t do their job Benign tumors- stay clustered together Malignant spread into other area creating problems (metastisize) CANCER
30
Occurs in Unicellular prokaryotes Unicellular eukaryotes Some multicellular eukaryotes Done by mitosis or processes similar to mitosis Examples Binary fission Budding Fragmentation ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
31
Combines genetic information from two parents Creates a unique offspring Parents create gametes (sex cells) using meiosis In humans, egg and sperm SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
32
MEIOSIS
33
Meiosis Occurs in games (sex cells) 2 divisions with 4 phases each (8 phases total) creating 4 unique cells Cells start out diploid and end haploid CHARACTERISTICS
34
PROPHASE I
35
PROMETAPHASE I
36
METAPHASE I
37
ANAPHASE I
38
TELOPHASE I
39
CYTOKINESIS I
40
Similar to mitosis Two haploid cells created by Meiosis I both divide Creates four haploid cells MEIOSIS II
41
Formation of sperm Starts at puberty Forms 4 sperm during each meiosis Men will make 5 to 200 million sperm/day SPERMATOGENESIS
42
Formation of the egg Meiosis starts inside the womb, continues is some during every cycle after puberty 1 egg and 3 polar bodies created after every meiosis Egg must contain lots of cytoplasm to support the developing embryo after fertilization OOGENESIS
