1. Cells grow larger and reproduce 2. Development of whole organism from single cell (zygote) 3. Worn-out cells are replaced. What controls these processes?

THE PATH OF PROTEIN SYNTHESIS DNA 1 m. RNA nucleus amino acids 2 ribosome m. RNA 3 cytoplasm protein
• Chromosomes consist of a long DNA molecule with thousands of genes Chromatin = DNA with associated proteins Genome = one complete set of chromosomes for an organism Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
The large, complex chromosomes of eukaryotes duplicate with each cell division • A eukaryotic cell has many more genes than a prokaryotic cell Figure 8. 4 A Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
1. Original DNA molecule unwinds. 2. New DNA strands are synthesized from the two original strands.

a DNA chromatin DNA replication. . . duplicated chromosome cell …has this effect at chromosomal level unduplicated chromosome (not actual shape) duplicated chromosome b sister chromatids
• When chromosomes are duplicated, sister chromatids are produced Sister chromatids Centromere telomere Figure 8. 4 B Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Human bands Figure 8. 19 x 1 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Human karyotype Figure 8. 19 x 2 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• When the cell divides, the sister chromatids separate Chromosome duplication – Two daughter cells are produced – Each has a complete and identical set of chromosomes Sister chromatids Centromere Chromosome distribution to daughter cells Figure 8. 4 C Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
cell nucleus DNA 1. REPLICATION DNA • Eukaryotic cell division consists of two stages: – Mitosis – Cytokinesis 2. MITOSIS DNA 3. CYTOKINESIS DNA

• Mitotic spindle Figure 8. 6 x 2 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Cytokinesis differs for plant and animal cells • In animals, cytokinesis occurs by cleavage – which pinches the cell apart Cleavage furrow Figure 8. 7 A Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Contracting ring of microfilaments Daughter cells
• In plants, vesicles build a new cell plate Cell plate forming Wall of parent cell Cell wall Figure 8. 7 B Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Vesicles containing cell wall material Daughter nucleus New cell wall Cell plate Daughter cells
• Binary fission - example: E. coli dividing Figure 8. 3 x Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings

Review of functions of mitosis: • Mitotic cell division functions in: – Growth (ex. onion root) Figure 8. 11 A Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Cell replacement (ex. skin) Dead cells Epidermis, the outer layer of the skin Dividing cells Dermis Figure 8. 11 B Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
