Cell Cycle
Key roles of cell division

The Cell Theory
The Cell Theory
All organisms are composed of cells
Cells are the basic unit of structure and function
All cells come from pre-existing cells.
Creation of cells in UNICELLULAR organisms
1) Reproduction
(Mitosis)
Two cells created just like the first cell.

Creates whole organism
Creation of cells in MULTICELLULAR organisms
1) Growth and Development
2) Tissue Renewal and Repair
3) Reproduction
Mitosis
Concept 12.1
Most cell division results in genetically identical daughter cells
Cell division part of the cell cycle
Cellular Organization of Genetic Material
1) Genome
2) Prokaryotes
3) Eukaryotes
Genome
Cell's or organism's genetic material
Prokaryotes
Single DNA molecule
Circular chromosome
Eukaryotes
Multiple, Linear, DNA molecules
Linear chromosomes
Vast amount of human DNA
"A typical human cell, for example, has about 2m of DNA -- a length about 250,000 times greater than the cell's diameter. Yet before the cell can divide, all of this DNA must be copied"

ACCURATELY
Cellular organization of Genetic Material
Chromosome (100s-1,000s genes)

Somatic Cells (46 chromosomes)

Gametes (23 chromosomes)
-Egg cells and sperm cells
Chromatin
In Eukaryotes
-Contains both DNA and associated proteins
Distribution of Chromosomes during Cell Division
1) Before division
-Chromatin
2) After DNA duplicated
-Chromosomes condense
Duplicated Chromosome
SISTER CHROMATIDS attached at CENTROMERE
--Still only counts as one chromosome

--> Separate during division
--Now individual chromosomes
Mitosis definition
Division of the nucleus
Cytokinesis
Division of the cytoplasm
Meiosis definition
Nonidentical daughter cells

Gamete formation (46 --> 23)
Cell cycle time
Normal cell (hours)
Embryonic cell (minutes)
Cell Cycle
Interphase
Prophase
Prometaphase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Interphase
Alternates with the mitotic phase
DNA DUPLICATION

Subphases: (proteins and cytoplasmic organelles)
G1 -- Growth
S -- Replication
G2

90% of time in interphase
G2 Interphase
1) Nuclear envelope
2) Nucleoli
3) Centrosome
4) Uncondensed Chromosomes
G2 Interphase Image
G2 Interphase Photo
Prophase
1) Nuclear Envelope
2) Condensed, discrete chromosomes (sister chromatids)
3) Nucleoli disappear
4) Mitotic Spindle begins to form
5) Centrosomes move away from each other
Mitotic Spindle
Comes from centrosomes (microtubule organizing centers)

Microtubules assemble from centrosomes
Prophase Image
Prophase Image
Prometaphase
1) Nuclear Envelope Fragments
2) Microtubules can invade nuclear area
3) Chromosomes more condensed
4) Chromatids have kinetochores
5) Kinetochore and Nonkinetochore microtubules
Kinetochore Stuff
Kinetochore- PROTEINS associated with DNA

Kinetochore microtubules- (spindle microtubules)
Chromosome walking (motor proteins)
Tug of war, line chromosomes up at metaphase plate
Depolymerization (kinetochore end)
Pulls chromosomes from metaphase place to poles
Prometaphase Image
Prometaphase Image
Metaphase
1) Centrosomes at opposite poles of cell
2) Metaphase Plate
3) Each kinetochore is attached to a kinetochore microtubule
Metaphase Image
Metaphase Image
Anaphase
SHORTEST STAGE OF MITOSIS
1) Cohesin Proteins cleaved
(Sister chromatids part suddenly)
2) Daughter chromosomes move toward opposite ends (centromere first)
3) Kinetochore microtubules shorten
4) Nonkinetochore microtubules lengthen
Nonkinetochore Microtubules
Overlap with those from other poles
Motor proteins walk them away from each other
Polymerization at overlapping ends
Elongate cell during Anaphase
Anaphase Image
Anaphase Image
Telophase
1) Daughter Nuclei Form
2) Nucleoli reappear
3) Chromosome less condensed
Spindle depolymerized

Ends Mitosis
Telophase Image
Telophase Image
Cytokinesis
Cytokinesis
Division of cytoplasm

Cleavage furrow (animal cells)
Actin microfilaments (like purse string)
Plant Cytokinesis
Cell plate
Vesicles from Golgi--Membrane fuses with plasma membranes
Binary Fission
Binary Fission
Cell replication in Prokaryotes (bacteria)
Singular circular chromosome
DNA duplication
Cell cycle control system
Regulated at checkpoints (regulatory proteins survey cell)

G1 checkpoint
1) Go ahead (S, G2, M phases)
2) No go-ahead (G0)

**Most cells G0 phase**
Stop and Go Signs at checkpoints
1) Growth Factors
proteins
2) Density-dependent inhibition
contact and nutrients
3) Anchorage Dependence
attachment to substratum
Cancer
Loss of cell cycle controls
NO density-dependent inhibition
NO anchorage dependence
Tumor
Mass of cells either:

1) Benign (cells remain in place)
2) Malignant (cells become invasive)
3) Metastasis
Cells spread throughout body (blood and lymph)
Secondary tumors
Regulatory proteins and genes
Regulatory proteins normal: cell division regulated

Regulatory genes (DNA --> proteins)
Proto-oncogenes ("go")
Tumor suppressor genes ("stop")

Transformation
Gene mutations --> abnormal proteins
Proto-oncogenes --> oncogenes "GOOOOOO"
No tumor suppressor genes
Cancer: Multistep process
Mutations in regulatory genes
Multiple mutations in a SINGLE cell

Carcinogens
1) Smoking
2) UV light
3) Asbestos
4) Viruses

--Can be predisposed (inherited mutations)
