Remember… *DNA more stable than RNA * All organisms must be able to reproduce to keep life going Cell Division
All Reproducing Cells • 1. Replicate DNA in parent cell during the S phase. • 2.Replicate organelles • 3. Perform cytokinesis- division of cytoplasm and cell membrane. • Cyto – cell, kinesis- movement
Reasons for Cell Division • In unicellular organisms it is primarily for reproduction of themselves. • In multicellular organisms it is for reproduction, growth, and repair of tissues. • If cells do not divide, they get to big. • Two major problems with big cells: • DNA cannot code for all of the necessary functions • Substances cannot enter and exit fast enough.

Four Events that Must occur for Cell Division • A reproductive signal (intracellular/extracellular) to initiate division. • Replication of DNA, so the new cells match identically to old cell. • Segregation- process by which DNA is passed to each of the two resulting new cells. • Cytokinesis- process by which the cell membrane and cell wall separate into two new cells.
Binary Fission • In prokaryotes, the entire single-celled organism divides. • First it doubles in size, then duplicates its DNA, and then divides. • In prokaryotes, the initiating reproductive signal is thought to be environmental conditions and food supply
DNA Replication in Prokaryotes (S phase) • Most prokaryotes only have one chromosome, and it is circular . • Circular chromosomes are also in chloroplasts, mitochondria, and viruses. • ori- origin site of DNA replication • ter- terminus of DNA replication
Prokaryotic DNA Replication • Referred to as circular or theta replication. • Cleavage furrow follows after replication • The two resulting cells are clones= identical cells. • Mitosis is thought to have evolved from binary fission…commonality: synthesis and division
Eukaryotic Cell Division • Most complex eukaryotes originate from a single cell: fertilized egg. • The formation of a multicellular organism from a fertilized egg is known as development. • Eukaryotic cell division are driven by the needs of the organism, not the environmental conditions and food supply.
Eukaryotic Cell Division • Eukaryotic cells also have more chromosomes to duplicate. • Eukaryotes have a nucleus that needs to divide before cytokinesis can take place. This is called mitosis. • Mitosis is the division of the nucleus. • Cytokinesis is the division of everything but the nuclear contents. Different in plants than animals
Control of Mitosis in Eukaryotes • Cell cycle- the events that occur to produce two eukaryotic cells from one. • Cell cycle has two main phases: Interphase 90-95% of time, Mitosis 5% of time. • Cell types vary with how long they live in interphase. • Mitosis and cytokinesis are referred to as the M phase of the cell cycle, but cytokinesis always follows mitosis.
DNA Division • Genome- term for all genetic material in a cell. • In humans the genome is 7ft./cell • DNA has 2 appearances: • Chromatin • Chromosome
Somatic Cells vs. Germ Cells • Perform mitosis • Parent cell2 identical daughter cells • 1 division following S phase • 2n or diploid • Humans =46 • Perform meiosis • Germ cell 4 non-id. Cells • 2 divisions following S phase • n or haploid • Makes gametes: egg/ sperm • Humans =23 Somatic Cells Germ Cells
Remember cell movement… • Cytoskeleton is composed of microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments. • Centrioles are a part of cytoskeleton made of microtubules. • Microtubules also make up spindle fibers • Proteins will also move things
Cell Cycle • G1- first growth, everyday activity, first checkpoint will be passed…point of no return. • S- DNA replicates, (46-92 in humans: 4n) • G2- second growth, second checkpoint where all DNA is proofed and organelles checked for cell division.
Mitosis • Mitosis is the segregation step (3) for eukaryotic cells. • Sister chromatids = replicated DNA. • Chromatids held together by cohesion-protein complex, found at centromere.
Histones • Web-like proteins that have a positive charge, and interact with the negative phosphates of DNA. • Histones form nucleosomes. • Eight histone molecules. • 146 base pairs of DNA • Histone One H1. Clamps DNA to histone core. • Chromatin will condense until chromatids move apart in anaphase.
Centrosomes • Centrosomes consist of a pair of centrioles. Centrioles are hollow tubes consisting of nine microtubules. Each centriole pair is situated perpendicular to one another. • At G2M phase, the centrosomes migrate to opposite ends of the cell. • Plant cells do not have centrosomes, just have a microtubule organization center.

Interphase cell (Look at the chromatin in the blue nucleus and the yellow cytoskeleton.)
Mitosis Step 1: Prophase • Nuclear membrane begins to break down • Cohesion proteins are removed from chromatin, except at centromere, and the chromatids become distinctly visible. • Kinetochores (proteins) develop at centromere region • Microtubules extend from centrioles, forming spindle fibers.
Prometaphase • Not officially step two. • Nuclear membrane completely disappears, as well as nucleolus
Metaphase • This is when all the centromere are in the middle of the cell at the equatorial plate. • Chromosomes are maximally condensed at this phase. • At the end of metaphase all chromatid pairs will separate simultaneously. This is the third checkpoint.
Anaphase • Sister chromatids begin to separate. • Sister chromatids separate into sister chromosomes. • Separation of chromatids is accomplished by a protease called separase hydrolyzing the cohesion proteins at the centromere. • Separase is controlled by a competetive inhibitor. • Spindle Checkpoint- when all kinetochores are attached to s.f. then separase becomes activated.
Anaphase • Movement of sister chromosomes away from one another is accomplished in two ways. • 1. Daughter chromosomes will propel themselves towards opposite centrosome poles (ATPADP) • 2. Spindle fibers will shorten drawing the sister chromosomes to opposite ends of the cell. • This process takes ~10min. to one hour.
Telophase • When sister chromosomes stop moving, the cell enters telophase. • Spindle fibers begin to break down and reform the nuclei. • Nuclear membranes and nucleoli reform around the two sets of DNA. • Mitosis is complete (segregation of DNA accomplished)
Cytokinesis • The end of telophase is two nuclei in one cell; therefore, the cell needs to divide. • Cytokinesis is the process of cytoplasm division. • Animal cells divide by the cell membrane furrowing. Contraction of actin and myosin microfilaments. • Plant cells’ vesicles from the Golgi bodies, move to equatorial plate, fuse to form new C.M. Vesicle contents also create a cell plate, which becomes new cell wall.
Cell Cycle REGULATION • Critical for normal growth and development • Controlled by proteins called cyclins. • 3 Checkpoints:
Compare the difference between Theta and Eukaryotic Division • Gene # • Gene Combinations • Linking Genes • Species Variation • Inheritance from parents
Cyclins and Proteins trigger Cell Division • Cyclin- protein that causes G1SG2 transition. (s phase to anaphase [inc.]) • Kinase is an enzyme that turn on cell processes • Cyclin + Kinase = Cdk aka MPF • MPF-Maturation Promoting Factor
