Mitosis- Chapter 6 Sections 1-3
Objectives- • Identify four examples of cell division in eukaryotes and one example in prokaryotes. • Differentiate between a gene, a DNA molecule, a chromosome, and a chromatid. • Compare haploid and diploid cells. • Differentiate between homologous chromosomes, autosomes, and sex chromosomes. • Predict how changes in chromosome number or structure can affect development.
Why do cells divide? • Repair • Growth & development • Make gametes (sex-cells; sperm or egg)
Asexual Reproduction • Reproduction by • Binary Fission • Fragmentation • Vegetative Propagation • Genetically identical offspring • Don’t need partner to reproduce
Sexual Reproduction • Reproduction requires gametes • Genetically different offspring
Sexual Reproduction- Simple version • Daddy’s sperm meet Mommy’s egg • This sperm “eats” a hole for itself into the egg to get its DNA in • This fertilized cell is called a zygote • This zygote divides and grows into a baby by Mitosis
Prokaryotes vs Eukaryotes • Prokaryotes use asexual reproduction • Eukaryotes may use asexual OR sexual reproduction • Prokaryotes reproduce more quickly • Eukaryotes reproduce more slowly
Focus on Eukaryotes (us) • Gene- part of DNA that codes for particular trait • Chromosome- made of coiled DNA and protein
More Important Terms • Centromere- center point where two chromatids are attached • Chromatid- half of a chromosome Chromosome
Eukaryote Cell Division http://www.cellsalive.com/cell_cycle.htm
Cell Cycle S phase (DNA synthesis; chromosome duplication) • Consists of • Interphase • Mitosis Interphase (90% of time) G1 G2 Mitotic phase (M) (10% of time) Mitosis Cytokinesis
Interphase • Cell spends 90% of its time here • G1- 1st growth phase • S- synthesis of DNA • G2- 2nd growth phase • There are checkpoints throughout the cell cycle
Mitosis- (growth/repair) • Begins with 1 diploid cell, ends with 2 diploid cells • Diploid = twice the number of chromosomes (2N) • One chromosome set comes from mom, the other from dad • All of our body cells are diploid (except for sperm and egg) Remember: produces 2 genetically identical cells!
Basic Steps of Mitosis: “PMAT” • P- Prophase • M- Metaphase • A- Anaphase • T- Telophase
Prophase • Nuclear membrane dissolves • Chromosomes become visible
Metaphase • Chromosomes align on the equator • Spindle fibers form and attach to centromere
Anaphase • Centromeres break • Chromatids move toward the poles as spindle fibers shorten
Telophase • Nuclear envelope forms • Cleavage furrow in animals • Cell plate in plants • Daughter cells form when Cytokinesis (cell splits into two) occurs
When Mitosis goes bad • Cell Cycle checkpoints don’t work properly • Cell can divide when it shouldn’t • Cell can mutate • A benign (harmless) tumor can form • Cancer may develop
What is Cancer? • Named for organ or tissue where its found • Cells that divide out of control due to a mutation in the DNA • These “out of control” cells can destroy/invade normal cells and tissues • Cancer can spread from a malignant (harmful) tumor • Metastasis is cancer cells that have spread
Lymph vessels Tumor Glandular tissue Metastasis A tumor grows from a single cancer cell. Cancer cells invade neighboring tissue. Cancer cells spread through lymph and blood vessels to other parts of the body Figure 8.9
Cancer Treatment • Radiation can be used for skin cancer • Chemotherapy involves drugs that stop Mitosis throughout the body • Chemotherapy drugs not only try to kill cancer cells but it makes wounds slower to heal, hair to be lost, immune system to be weakened
Cancer “Caution” Signs • Change in potty habits • A sore that does not heal • Unusual bleeding or discharge • Thickening of tissue or new lump • Indigestion • Obvious changes to moles or warts • Nagging cough that lasts for a month or more
Cancer Prevention-what YOU can do • Not smoking • Limiting time in the sun • Eating high-fiber, low-fat diet • Visit Doctor regularly • Perform regular self-examinations
