Transcript Mitosis and Cell Division

Mitosis and Cell Division
Bio 11
August 31, 2007
Cells are extremely small
• Size limit of cells
determined by
area/volume ratio
• Large living things are
made of multiple cells
• Living things divide
cells in order to grow
Living things are extremely
complex
• Cellular machinery is
sophisticated and
required for life
• Blueprints for all
cellular machinery are
contained in genes
• Genes are inherited
from parents
• Humans have
~30,000 genes
All cells require a copy of the
genome
• Genome- all the DNA
of the cell
• Gene- the genetic
information to produce
a single product
(protein)
• DNA replication
copies all cellular DNA
Prokaryotic genomes consist of a
single circular chromsome
• Chromosome- a
single molecule of
DNA
Prokaryotic cells reproduce by
binary fission
1. DNA is copied
2. Copies migrate to
opposite ends of cell
3. Cell membrane/cell
wall pinches off to
form two cells
4. Each daughter cell
has exactly the
same DNA as the
parent cell
Eukaryotic cells have multiple
linear chromosomes
• Eukaryotic chromosome
= DNA + extra proteins
• Chromosomal proteins
assist in DNA compaction
• Each chromosome
contains different genes
• Chromosomes not always
condensed like this
• Chromatin –
uncondensed
chromosomal DNA
Eukaryotic chromsomes are
generally found in pairs
• Chromosomes are
organized and
numbered by size
• Humans: 2 x 23
homologous pairs
of chromosomes =
46 total
chromosomes
Chromosome structure
• Decondensed
chromosome- chromatin
• After copying, chromosome
consists of two sister
chromatids, joined at the
centromere
• Kinetochore – proteins
found on surface of
centromere
Each chromosome must be copied
before cells can divide
• Called “chromosome”
at all stage
• Sister chromatids
contain identical DNA
Mitosis vs. Meiosis
• Mitosis – asexual cellular reproduction (somatic
cells)
– Allows multicellular organisms to grow
– Daughter cells are identical to parent cell
• Meiosis – cell division for formation of gametes
(eggs and sperm)
– Allows sexual reproduction to generate species
diversity
– Daughter cells have half the genetic information as
parent cell
The Cell Cycle
• G1 – “Growth 1” or “Gap
1” – cell growth
• S phase – DNA synthesis
• G2 – interval of rest
before cell division
• M – mitosis
• Cytokinesis – splitting of
cell contents
• GO – A state of nondivision

INTERPHASE
S
(DNA synthesis)
G1
G2
Mitosis
• The sorting and separation of
chromosomes in nucleus somatic
eukaryotic cells during cell division
• Forms 2 identical daughter cells (1/2 size)
• For growth/replacement/healing
• Associated with cancer
• In humans: ~25 million/sec.
• Divided into phases
Phases of Mitosis

•
Prophase*
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
* Campbell text adds “prometaphase”
• Interphase – time in between mitotic phases
– Normal cell functions (G1+S+G2)
• Cytokinesis- divides cytosol/organelles (creates
daughter cells)
Peripheral elements of Mitosis
• Centrosomes (2) – form spindle fibers, and
consist (in animal cells) of 2 centrioles
• Spindle fibers – made of microtubules,
they pull apart sister chromatids of
chromosomes

Cytokinesis in animal cells is
different from plant cells
• Actin and myosin
filaments work to
contract cell in center
• Cell furrow is formed
Plant cell walls aren’t flexible
• Vesicles containing
cellulose form in
center of cell
• Fusion of vesicles
forms cell plate
• Cell plate forms cell
wall of new cells
Control of the mitotic cycle is critical

External signals can activate or
deactivate the cell cycle
• Signals include
hormones, growth
factors
• Contact inhibition,
density inhibition,
anchorage
dependence are
important signals
LE 8-8a
Cells anchor to
dish surface
and divide.
When cells have
formed a complete
single layer, they
stop dividing
(density-dependent
Inhibition).
If some cells are
scraped away, the
remaining cells
divide to fill the dish
with a single layer
and then stop
(density-dependent
inhibition).
LE 8-8aa
Cells anchor to
dish surface
and divide.
When cells have
formed a complete
single layer, they
stop dividing
(density-dependent
inhibition).
LE 8-8ab
If some cells are
scraped away, the
remaining cells
divide to fill the dish
with a single layer
and then stop
(density-dependent
inhibition).
LE 8-8b
After forming a
single layer,
cells have
stopped dividing.
Providing an
additional supply of
growth factors
stimulates
further cell division.
