  2. VII. CELL REPRODUCTION Overview: Why Reproduce?

  3. VII. CELL REPRODUCTION Overview: Why Reproduce? Reproduction is selected for, by definition. X X X X

  4. - WHY?? Bigger is better…. So selection favors growth… But as cells increase in size, they decrease in efficiency.

  5. - WHY?? Bigger is better…. So selection favors growth… But as cells increase in size, they decrease in efficiency. So, to get bigger, most organisms increase cell number, not cell size….

  6. - WHY?? And with many cells, cell specialization can increase efficiency at the organismal level.

  7. VII. CELL REPRODUCTION Overview: Why Reproduce? A. The Cell Cycle INTERPHASE S (DNA synthesis) LE 12-5 G1 Mitosis Cytokinesis G2 MITOTIC (M) PHASE

  8. VII. CELL REPRODUCTION Overview: Why Reproduce? A. The Cell Cycle     1.  Interphase: a.  G1: high metabolic activity (protein synthesis) chromosomes diffuse; one DNA double helix per chromosome

  9. LE 12-15 G0 G1 checkpoint G1 G1 If a cell does not receive a go-ahead signal at the G1 checkpoint, the cell exits the cell cycle and goes into G0, a nondividing state. If a cell receives a go-ahead signal at the G1 checkpoint, the cell continues on in the cell cycle.

S Chromosome duplication (including DNA synthesis) A C C G T G G C Centromere A C C G T G G C A C C G T G G C Two identical double-helices, each composed of an ‘old’ and ‘new’ strand. Creating two chromatids in each chromosome Sister chromatids

  17. VII. CELL REPRODUCTION Overview: Why Reproduce? A. The Cell Cycle B. DNA Replication C. Mitosis 10 µm LE 12-10 Nucleus Chromatin condensing Chromosomes Nucleolus Cell plate Prometaphase. We now see discrete chromosomes; each consists of two identical sister chromatids. Later in prometaphase, the nuclear envelope will fragment. Metaphase. The spindle is complete, and the chromosomes, attached to microtubules at their kinetochores, are all at the metaphase plate. Anaphase. The chromatids of each chromosome have separated, and the daughter chromosomes are moving to the ends of the cell as their kinetochore micro- tubules shorten. Prophase. The chromatin is condensing. The nucleolus is beginning to disappear. Although not yet visible in the micrograph, the mitotic spindle is starting to form. Telophase. Daughter nuclei are forming. Meanwhile, cytokinesis has started: The cell plate, which will divide the cytoplasm in two, is growing toward the perimeter of the parent cell.
