o Circular strands of DNA
prokaryotes
o Replicate the DNA & pass it on to the “daughter” cells
prokaryotes
o Reproduction
o Growth
o Repair
o Produce “daughter” cells that have identical genetic complements
o Occurs in somatic cells
mitosis
o All body cells except cells which give rise to gametes (eggs & sperm)
somatic cells
o A complex of a linear strand of DNA & protein
o Each eukaryotic species has a characteristic number
o Found in the nucleus
chromosomes
o The long linear strand of DNA & complexed proteins
chromatin
o Consists of two sister chromatids
o Identical copies of DNA
o Attached at a specialized region called the centromere
duplicated chomosome
 How many centromeres per chromosome?
1
 How many centromeres per chromosome consisting of 2 sister chromatids?
1
o Generally 90% of the cell cycle
o Gap 1 (G1 Phase)
o S Phase (DNA is synthesized/replicated)
o Gap 2(G2)
o Gap 1
 Synthesis of cell components
 Increase in number of organelles
o S Phase
 Synthesis (replication) of DNA
 Doubling of the genetic material
o Gap 2
 Centrioles replicate in animal cells
 Structure for cytokinesis put in place
interphase
 Synthesis of cell components
 Increase in number of organelles
gap 1
 Synthesis (replication) of DNA
 Doubling of the genetic material
S phrase
 Centrioles replicate in animal cells
 Structure for cytokinesis put in place
gap 2
 What does a centriole resemble?
the base of a flagellum
o In animals
o 9 sets of triplet microtubules arranged in a ring
o Found in the centrosome
 A region which microtubules grow out
o Help organize microtubule growth, but these are not necessary
 Most plants lack these
centioles
T/F  The purpose of mitosis is to insure that daughter cells have the identical genetic complement of the mother cell.
True
DNA is replicates in ?
S phase
mitosis steps
o Prophase
o Prometaphase
o Metaphase
o Anaphase
o Telophase
o Nucleoli disappear
o Chromatin condenses
o Mitotic spindle forms from microtubules in cytoplasm
o Centrosomes move away from each other
prophase
o Nuclear envelope fragments
o Microtubules of spindle invade the nuclear region & interact with the chromosomes via the kinetochore (located on the centromere)
prometaphase
o Structure of proteins & specific sections of chromosomal DNA at the centromere
o Point of attachment for microtubules of the spindle
kinetochore
o Formed from microtubules extending from the two centrosomes
o As centrosomes move away from each other the microtubules lengthen
mitotic spindles
o Centrosomes at opposite poles
o Chromosomes arranged at the midplane of the spindle
metaphase
o Sister chromatids separate & move toward the poles
Anaphase
o Nuclear envelope reforms
o Spindle breaks down
o Nucleoli reform
o Chromatids become less densely coiled
 Figure 12.6b
Telophase
o Division of cytoplasm
