8.1 The Basics of Cellular
Reproduction
• Multicellular organisms begin life as a
single cell
• We become trillions of cells because of
cellular reproduction
• Continues as we grow and replace wornout or damaged tissues

•
All cells come from cells

•
Doesn’t require sperm or egg
Required in sexual reproduction
Cellular reproduction is necessary for production of
both new cells and new organisms
2 important processes
1. Growth – cell duplicates its contents (including DNA
and organelles)
2. Cell division – parent cell contents divided into two
daughter cells
• Both processes heavily regulated
• Chromosomes
DNA replication is the copying of DNA
• Full set passed to each daughter cell
DNA packaged into chromosomes
• Thickened complex of DNA and proteins
• Allows easier distribution to daughter cells
• Chromatin
DNA and associated proteins have
appearance of thin threads

• DNA periodically

8.2 The Cell Cycle
• Orderly sequence of stages that takes
place between the time a new cell has
arisen and to the point where it gives rise
to two daughter cells
• Interphase
• M (Mitotic) Stage

3 stages

• S – DNA synthesis
• G2
• Interphase
3 stages
• G1 – stage before DNA replication
Cell doubles organelles
Accumulates materials for DNA synthesis
Makes decision whether to divide or not
G0 – arrested – does not go on to divide
• S – DNA synthesis
Results in each chromosome composed of two
sister chromatids
• G2 – stage following DNA synthesis
Extends to onset of mitosis
Synthesizes proteins needed for cell division
• M (mitotic) phase
Cell division occurs
Encompasses
• Division of nucleus (mitosis)
Creates two identical daughter nuclei
• Division of cytoplasm (cytokinesis)
8.3 Mitosis and cytokinesis
• Distributes duplicated nuclear contents of parent cell
equally to daughter cells
• Each sister chromatid has the same genetic information
• Daughter chromosomes – separated sister chromatids

• Daughter nuclei produced by mitosis are
genetically identical to each other and the
parent nucleus.
• Every animal has an even number of
chromosomes – each parent contributes
half of the chromosomes to the new
individual.
In drawings, colors may be used to indicate
chromosomes contributed by the male or
female parent.
• Spindle
Most eukaryotic cells rely on this structure to
pull chromatids apart.
Part of cytoskeleton
Spindle fibers are made of microtubules
Centrosome – primary microtubule organizing
center
Spindle fibers may overlap at the spindle
equator or attach to duplicated chromosomes.
• Mitosis is a continuous process
• Traditionally divided into 4 phases
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
• Plant and animal cells differ
Plant – have centrosomes but lack centrioles
Animal – each centrosome has 2 centrioles
and an aster (array of microtubules)

• Phases of mitosis in animal cells
Although mitosis is divided into phases, it is a
continuous process.
DNA has been replicated before mitosis
begins.
Each chromosome consists of 2 sister
chromatids attached at a centromere.
Red chromosomes are from one parent, blue
are from the other parent.
Mitosis is usually followed by cytokinesis
• Division of the cytoplasm
• Begins during telophase and continues after the
daughter nuclei have formed

chromosome first moves toward one pole
and then toward the other pole.

Metaphase
During metaphase, the
chromosomes are aligned at the
spindle equator midw ay between
the spindle poles. The spindle
fibers on either side of a
chromosome extend to opposite
poles of the spindle. Unattached
spindle fibers reach beyond the
equator and overlap.
Anaphase
During anaphase, the sister chromatids
separate and become daughter
chromosomes. As the spindle fibers
attached to the chromosomes
disassemble, each pole receives a set of
daughter chromosomes. The spindle
poles move apart as the unattached
spindle fibers slide past one another. This
contributes to chromosome separation.
Telophase and Cytokinesis
During telophase, the spindle disappears as
new nuclear envelopes form around the
daughter chromosomes. Each nucleus
contains the same number and kinds of
chromosomes as the original parent cell.
Remnants of spindle fibers are still visible
between the two nuclei. Division of the
cytoplasm begins.

8.4 The Cell Cycle Control System
• Cell cycle must be controlled
• Ensures stages occur in order and
only when the previous stage is
successfully completed
• Cell cycle checkpoints

• G1 checkpoint
• G2 checkpoint
• Mitotic stage checkpoint

•
Cell committed to divide after this point
Can enter Go if checkpoint not passed
Proper growth signals must be present to pass
DNA integrity checked – if repair not possible,
apoptosis occurs
G2 checkpoint
• Verifies DNA replicated
• DNA damage repaired
Mitotic stage checkpoint
• Between metaphase and anaphase
• All chromosomes must be attached to the spindle
to pass

• Internal and external signals
Signal – a molecule that stimulates or inhibits an
event
External signals come from outside the cell
Internal signals come from inside the cell
Kinases removes a phosphate from ATP and add it to
other molecules
S-cyclin must combine with S-kinase for S phase to
occur – DNA replication
M-cyclin must combine with M-kinase for mitosis to
occur
Cyclins are present only during certain stages of the
cell cycle
Destruction of cyclin at the appropriate time is
necessary for normal cell cycle progression

• Cell cycle signals
External signals
• Epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulates kin near
an injury to finish cell cycle and repair injury
• Hormone estrogen stimulates lining of the uterus to
divide and prepare for egg implantation
Contact inhibition – cells stop dividing when
they touch.
Cells divide about 70 times in culture and then
die
• Due to shortening of telomeres
• Telomere- repeating DNA sequence at end of
chromosome
• Apoptosis

8.5 Cell Cycle and Cancer
• Cell cycle regulated by signals that inhibit or
promote cell cycle
• Cancer may result from imbalance
• Cancer is a disease of the cell cycle in which
cellular reproduction occurs repeatedly without
end.
• Classified by location
Carcinoma – cancer of epithelial tissue lining organs
Sarcoma – cancer arising in muscle or connective
tissue
Leukemia – cancers of the blood
• Characteristics of cancer cells
Carcinogenesis – development of
cancer
Cancer cells…
• Lack differentiation – do not contribute
to body function
May be immortal – divide repeatedly
• Have abnormal nuclei with abnormal
number of chromosomes
Cancer cells…
• Do not undergo apoptosis
• Form tumors – do not respond to
inhibitory signals
• Undergo metastasis (cells travel to start
new tumors) and angiogenesis (form
new blood vessels to nourish
themselves)
Benign – contained within a capsule
Malignant – invasive and may spread

• Avoid sun exposure – major factor in development
of most dangerous type of skin cancer, melanomas
• Heavy drinkers prone to particular cancers
Protective diet
