Cell Growth and Division Mitosis and Meiosis

Cell Growth When an organism grows, the number of cells increase but the size

Cell Growth When an organism grows, the number of cells increase but the size of each cell remains small.

Limits to cell growth 1. DNA “overload”: The larger a cell becomes, the more

Limits to cell growth 1. DNA “overload”: The larger a cell becomes, the more demands the cell places on its DNA stores the information that controls how a cell functions b. When a cell is small, DNA can meet the cells needs c. When a cell is large, it still has only one copy of DNA so it is more difficult for the cell to perform its function a.

Limits to cell growth 2. Exchanging materials: additionally, large cells have more trouble movingsubstances across the cell membrane. a. If a cell is too large, it is difficult to get enough oxygen and nutrients in and waste products out b. This is why cells do NOT grow much larger even if the organism does grow large

Division of the Cell 1. Before a cell gets too large, it will divide

Division of the Cell 1. Before a cell gets too large, it will divide to form two “daughter” cells 2. Before a cell divides, it makes a copy of its DNA for each daughter cell

Cell Division 1. Cell division in eukaryotes is more complex than in prokaryotes. 2.

Cell Division 1. Cell division in eukaryotes is more complex than in prokaryotes. 2. There are two stages of eukaryotic cell division a. Mitosis: Division of the cell nucleus b. Cytokinesis: Division of the cell cytoplasm 3. Unicellular organisms reproduce asexually by mitosis a. The daughter cells are identical to the parents cells 4. Mitosis is how a multicellular organism grows and develops

Chromosomes 1. Chromosomes are made of condensed chromatin. 2. Chromatin consists of DNA and the proteins it is wrapped around. 3. The cells of every organism have a specific number of chromosomes (humans have 46 chromosomes).

3. Chromosomes are only visible during cell division, when they are condensed. The rest

3. Chromosomes are only visible during cell division, when they are condensed. The rest of the time the chromatin is spread throughout the nucleus. 4. Before cell division, each chromosome is replicated (meaning copied). a. When a chromosome is replicated, it consists of two identical “sister” chromatids. b. When a cell divides the chromatids separate, and one goes to each of the two new cells. c. Sister chromatids are attached to each other at the spot called the centromere.

The Cell Cycle • When a cell is NOT dividing, it is said to

The Cell Cycle • When a cell is NOT dividing, it is said to be in interphase. • The series of events that a cell goes through as it grows and divides is called the cell cycle.

Events of the cell cycle Interphase, when the cell is NOT dividing, has three

Events of the cell cycle Interphase, when the cell is NOT dividing, has three phases: G 1, S, and G 2. • 1. G 1 phase: period of activity in which cells do most of their growing. – a. Cells increase in size – b. Cells synthesize (make) new proteins and organelles • 2. S phase: DNA (chromosomes) is replicated • 3. G 2: organelles and molecules required for cell division are produced

M phase is the phase of cell division. This includes: – 1. Mitosis, the

M phase is the phase of cell division. This includes: – 1. Mitosis, the division of the cell nucleus, which is made up of four segments including prophase, metaphase, and telophase. – 2. Cytokinesis, or the division of cytoplasm. Stop at 1 minute

Mitosis There are four phases in mitosis: 1. Prophase a. Longest phase in mitosis

Mitosis There are four phases in mitosis: 1. Prophase a. Longest phase in mitosis (take 5060% of total time mitosis requires) b. Chromosomes become visible because they are condensed

c. Centrioles become visible on opposite sides of the nucleus i. The centrioles help organize the spindle, a structure made of microtubules that helps separate the chromosomes ii. Chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers near the centromere iii. Plant cells do not have centrioles but do have mitotic spindles d. Nucleolus disappears e. Nuclear envelope breaks down

4. Telophase a. Chromosomes change from being condensed to dispersed b. A nuclear envelope forms around each cluster of chromosomes c. Spindle breaks apart d. Nucleolus is visible in each daughter nucleus Telophase in the midbodies of two daughter cells Start at 1 minute

Cytokinesis • Cytokinesis occurs within the cytoplasm of one cell. • Cell division is

Cytokinesis • Cytokinesis occurs within the cytoplasm of one cell. • Cell division is complete when the cytoplasm • divides (pinches together to create new cells). In plants, a structure called the cell plate forms between the two daughter nuclei. The cell plate develops into a cell membrane and cell wall.

Cytokinesis • In animal cells, the cell membrane is drawn inward until the cytoplasm

Cytokinesis • In animal cells, the cell membrane is drawn inward until the cytoplasm is pinched into two equal parts. Each part has a nucleus and cytoplasmic organelles. The cleavage of daughter cells is almost complete; this is visualized by microtubule staining

Chromosomes • You have 23 different pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes. • One chromosome in each pair came from your mother and one from your father.

Each chromosome in a pair is said to be homologous, meaning that the chromosome

Each chromosome in a pair is said to be homologous, meaning that the chromosome from the father has a corresponding chromosome from the mother.

 • Cells that contain both sets of homologous chromosomes are called diploid. •

• Cells that contain both sets of homologous chromosomes are called diploid. • All of your cells except the sex cells (sperm and eggs; also called gametes) are diploid. Gametes are haploid, meaning they contain only one copy of each chromosome. • When one sperm and one egg combine their DNA, there are two versions of each chromosome.

We use “N” to represent the haploid number of chromosomes and “ 2 N”

We use “N” to represent the haploid number of chromosomes and “ 2 N” to represent the diploid number of chromosomes. – 1. For humans, the haploid number is 23. We write this as N = 23. The diploid number is 46, which we write as 2 N = 46. – 2. In fruit flies, N = 4 and 2 N = 8.

Meiosis is the process that divides one diploid (2 N) cell to form four

Meiosis is the process that divides one diploid (2 N) cell to form four haploid (N) cells. This process is a reductional division because the number of chromosomes per cell are cut in half. Meiosis is how gametes are formed.

Comparing mitosis and meiosis • Mitosis produces two genetically identical diploid (2 N) cells.

Comparing mitosis and meiosis • Mitosis produces two genetically identical diploid (2 N) cells. Mitosis allows an organism’s body to grow and to replace cells. In organisms that reproduce asexually, new organisms are produced by mitosis. • Meiosis produces four genetically different haploid (N) cells. Meiosis produces gametes for use in sexual reproduction.
