The Cell Cycle
“Every cell from a cell”
--- the continuity of life is based one the reproduction
of cells, or cell division.
Cell cycle:
--- the life of a cell from the time it is first formed from a
dividing parent cell until its own division into two cells.
Cell division functions in reproduction, growth, and renewal.
200 µm
20 µm
Cell division:
--- involves the distribution of identical genetic materialDNA-to two daughter cells.
Genome 基因體
--- genetic information, a cell’s endowment of DNA.
--- human cell ~ 2 m of DNA
Chromosomes 染色體
--- every eukaryotic species has a characteristic number of
chromosomes in each cell nucleus.
* Somatic cells have two sets of chromosomes
* Gametes have one set of chromosomes
Chromatin (染色質)
Eukaryotic chromosomes are made of chromatin, a complex
of DNA and associated protein molecules.
Gene (基因) :
the units that specify and organism’s inherited traits.

Sister chromatids :

0.5 µm
A eukaryotic cell has multiple
chromosomes, one of which is
represented here. Before
duplication, each chromosome
has a single DNA molecule.
Once duplicated, a chromosome
consists of two sister chromatids
connected at the centromere. Each
chromatid contains a copy of the
DNA molecule.
Mechanical processes separate
the sister chromatids into two
chromosomes and distribute
them to two daughter cells.

Anaphase
Anaphase commences when proteins holding together the
sister chromatids of each chromosome are inactivated
How do the kinetochore microtubules function
in the poleward movement of chromosomes ?
Kinetochores are equipped with motor proteins that
“walk” a chromosome along the attached microtubules
toward the nearest pole.
The microtubules shorten by depolymerizing at their kinetochore ends.
What’s the function of the nonkinetochore microtubules ?
--- for elongating the whole cell during anaphase.
* Nonkinetochore microtubules interdigitate across the metaphase plate
Anaphase:
1. Nonkinetochore microtubules orininating from opposite
spindle poles move past each other toward their poles.
2. The nonkinetochore microtubules lengthen by the
addition of tubulin subunits to their ends.

Concept 12.3: The cell cycle is regulated by a molecular control system
The frequency of cell division varies with the type of cell
Ex. Human skin cells: divide frequently throughout life.
liver cells: keep in reserve (to repair a wound)
mature nerve cells and muscle cells: do not divide at all.
These cell cycle differences
~ Result from regulation at the molecular level
What drives the cell cycle ?
The cell cycle is driven by specific chemical signals
present in the cytoplasm.

the G1 cell immediately began mitosis— a

The sequential events of the cell cycle are directed by
a distinct cell cycle control system, a cyclically
operating set of molecules in the cell that both triggers
and coordinates key events in the cell cycle.

The cell cycle is
regulated at certain
checkpoints by both
internal and external
controls.
Cell cycle “checkpoints”
* A checkpoint is a critical control point where stop and
go-adhead signals can regulate the cycle.
(~ signal transduction pathways)
Animal cells generally have built-in stop signals that halt the
cell cycle at checkpoints until overridden by go-ahead signals.
* G1, G2, and M phase checkpoint
* G1 checkpoint: (restriction point)
~ the most important checkpoint.

continues on in the cell cycle.
What kinds of molecules make up the cell cycle control
system (the molecular basis for the cell cycle clock)?
Two types of regulatory proteins are involved in cell
cycle control:
Cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks)

The activity of cyclins and Cdks

~ triggers the cell’s passage past the G2 checkpoint into M phase.

(M phase checkpoint) chromosomes are attached to the spindle
Breakdown of cyclin and the inactivation of
proteins holding the sister chromatids together.
Sister chromatids separate
External signals: ex. Growth factors
~ Cells fail to divide if an essential nutrient is left out of the
culture medium.
~ GFs trigger a signal transduction pathway that allows the
cells to pass the G1 checkpoint and divide.

Density-dependent inhibition of cell division
~ Crowded cells stop

single layer
Cells anchor to dish surface and
divide (anchorage dependence).
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 gap and then stop (densitydependent inhibition).

Meiosis and Sexual Life Cycles
The transmission of traits from one generation to
the next is called inheritance, or heredity. (遺傳)
~ Genetics
• Overview: Hereditary Similarity and Variation
• Living organisms
–
Are distinguished by their ability to reproduce their
own kind
• Heredity
–
Is the transmission of traits from one generation to the next
• Variation
–
Shows that offspring differ somewhat in appearance from
parents and siblings
Figure 13.1
Offspring acquire genes from parents by inheriting
chromosomes.
~ Parents endow their offspring with coded information in
the form of hereditary units called genes.
 constitute our “genome”
Genes are segments of DNA.
~ DNA is a polymer of four different kinds of monomersnucleotides. (核苷酸)
Asexual and sexual reproduction
(無性)
(有性生殖)
In asexual reproduction,
~ a single individual is the sole parent and passes copies of all its
genes to its offspring. (the genomes of the offspring are
virtually exact copies of the parent’s genome)
“clone” (a group of genetically identical individuals)
In sexual reproduction,
~ offspring vary genetically from their
siblings and both parents.

~ reproduce by budding.
~ usually genetically
identical to its parent.

Karyotyping can be used to screen for abnormal numbers of
chromosomes or defective chromosomes associated with
certain congenital disorders, such as Down syndrome.
Down syndrome: each body cell has a total of 47 chromosomes.
(cells are trisomic for chromosome 21; trisomy 21)
The chromosomes that make up a pair-that have the same
length, centromere position, and staining pattern
-are called homologous chromosomes, or homologues.

A gene’s specific location
along the length of a
chromosome is called the
gene’s locus.

1. Synapsis (聯會) and crossing over (交換)
– Homologous chromosomes physically connect and
exchange genetic information
2. Tetrads on the metaphase plate
– At metaphase I of meiosis, paired homologous chromosomes
(tetrads) are positioned on the metaphase plates
3. Separation of homologues
– At anaphase I of meiosis, homologous pairs move toward
opposite poles of the cell
– In anaphase II of meiosis, the sister chromatids separate
Chiasmato are the physical manifestations of a genetic
arrangement called crossing over.
