7. Parent cell Replicated chromosomes condense at the start of mitosis Mitosis During mitosis, sister chromatids separate and two daughter cells are formed. Parent cell and daughter cell contain the same complement of chromosomes. Figure 8.7 Cell Duplication

8. Cell Theory and Cell Division Interphase Events n Gap 1 phase: normal growth of cell Organelles replicated Additional cytoplasm accumulated, growth in size ~ 7-9 hours long

9. Cell Theory and Cell Division n S phase: synthesis of new DNA (chromosomes) Each chromosome serves as a template and makes a copy of itself Duration: 6-8 hours

10. Chromosome Number of chromosomes: 4 Unreplicated chromosomes Figure 8.6a

16. Mitosis (M Phase) Prophase Events n Chromosomes condense, become visible Replicated chromosomes (=chromatids) joined at the centromere n Spindle apparatus forms and attaches to kinetochore (structure associated with the centromere) n Nuclear membrane begins to disintegrate

20. Mitosis (M Phase) Anaphase Events n Centromere divides allowing spindle apparatus to shorten and separate sibling chromatids n Separated chromatids called chromosomes n Chromosomes move to opposite poles of the cell

21. 4. Anaphase: Sister chromatids separate. Chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles of the cell. 5. Telophase: The nuclear envelope reforms. 6. Cytokinesis: The cell divides. Figure 8.8, right Anaphase Telophase Stages of Mitosis

22. Mitosis (M Phase) Telophase and Cytokinesis Events n Nuclear envelope begins to form around chromosomes n Chromosomes become diffuse n Spindle apparatus disappears n Cytokinesis begins

40. GROWTH FACTORS ARE INVOLVED IN PASSING THE G 1 CHECKPOINT Cyclin CdK ATP ADP Target protein PiPi 1. Arrival of growth factors from other cells. 2. Growth factors cause increase in cyclin concentration. 3. Cyclin activates cyclin-dependent kinase. 4. Kinases activate S phase proteins, leading to cell division. Figure 8.18a Example: Control of Cell Cycle

41. HOW ARE S PHASE PROTEINS ACTIVATED? Rb Cyclin CdK Rb E2F Rb ATP ADP PiPi PiPi E2F S Phase proteins mRNA DNA 1. In normal cells, Rb protein binds to E2F and shuts down the cell cycle. 2. If growth factors arrive and activate the cyclin-CdK complex, Rb becomes phosphorylated. 3. E2F is released 4. E2F stimulates the production of S phase proteins.
