Fig. 8 -5 Eukaryotic cell cycle INTERPHASE G 1 First gap phase -growth -normal cell activities s MIT s si ito o M t Cy ki si e n S (DNA synthesis) -DNA copies (replicates) itself G 2 Second gap phase -growth -cell prepares for mitosis PHA OTIC SE (M) Mitosis = division of the nucleus Cytokinesis = division of the cytoplasm
Nucleic Acids • Large polymers • Made of linked nucleotides • Components of a nucleotide? • A nucleotide consists of a 5 -carbon sugar, phosphate group, nitrogenous base
DNA / RNA structure DNA Sugar Nitrogenous bases Shape RNA
• DNA is anti-parallel One strand is “flipped” in relation to the other
CELLcell CYCLE IN in EUKARYOTIC The cycle eukaryotic. CELLS cells INTERPHASE G 1 First gap phase -growth -normal cell activities s MIT s si o ito t Cy ki si e n M Fig. 8 -5 S (DNA synthesis) -DNA copies (replicates) itself G 2 Second gap phase -growth -cell prepares for mitosis PHA OTIC SE (M) Mitosis = division of the nucleus Cytokinesis = division of the cytoplasm
Fig. 8 -4 bc What happens to a chromosome during the cell cycle Sister chromatids Chromosome is replicated/ sister chromatids (identical copies) attached at centromere Centromere Sister chromatids Replicated chromosome splits, each chromatid going to a separate cell
Two strands separate Nucleotides come and pair with their complementary base DNA replication Semi-conservative replication The new strand consists of one old DNA and one new DNA strand
DNA replication starts at an origin of replication (many in eukaryotes) forming replication bubbles
Enzymes involved in replication • Helicase unwinds the double helix • DNA polymerase builds the new DNA strand • DNA ligase “glues” DNA fragments together
• DNA Polymerase can only add to the 3’ end of a new strand

What’s wrong with this? ?
Fig. 8 -9 a G 1 checkpoint Cells can’t get past unless they get a signal from outside G 0 is a nondividing state Ex: brain, muscle Control system G 1 M S G 2 checkpoint size and DNA checked M checkpoint in metaphase all chromosomes attached to spindle
Fig. 8 -9 b Growth factor -outside “signal” that it’s time to divide. -gets a cell to move past the G 1 checkpoint Plasma membrane Receptor protein Relay proteins G 1 checkpoint Control system G 1 M G 2 S
