CELL DIVISION. Cell Division. One cell Two identical cells Cells must be able to pass on ALL information from their DNA So DNA must be replicated before cell division occurs. Prokaryotic Cells. No nucleus DNA is found as circular molecule BINARY FISSION DNA replicates

Cell Division • One cell Two identical cells • Cells must be able to pass on ALL information from their DNA • So DNA must be replicated before cell division occurs
Prokaryotic Cells • No nucleus • DNA is found as circular molecule • BINARY FISSION • DNA replicates • DNA attaches to membrane • Cell pinches & splits
Eukaryotic Cells • Much more complicated • Chromosome – DNA coiled around proteins
Formation of chromosomes • DNA at “rest” found unorganized in nucleus • Just before cell division, it organizes itself into chromosomes
How many do humans have? • Somatic cells = DIPLOID (2n) • 46 chromosomes (23 pairs) • 22 pairs = Autosomes • 1 pair = Sex chromosomes (X & Y) • XX (female) vs. XY (male)
Gametes = HAPLOID (n) Formed from germ cells 23 chromosomes (one of each) Sperm + Egg = Zygote YOU! 23 + 23 = 46 How many do humans have?
Cell Cycle • G1 – 1st Growth – Routine functions • S – Synthesis – DNA Replication • G2 – 2nd Growth – Prepare to Divide • M – Mitosis – Division of the Nucleus • C – Cytokinesis – Division of the Cytoplasm • MOVIE
Cell Cycle • Numerous ways to control speed • Malfunction of cell cycle = cancer
Interphase • Includes the G1, S, & G2 phases • When the cell is not dividing or “at rest” • DNA is found unorganized in the nucleus
Mitosis • Division of the nucleus to form 2 identical nuclei • Chromosome = 2 identical chromatids (formed after replication)
Mitosis • Prophase • Metaphase • Anaphase • Telophase • MOVIE 1 • MOVIE 2
Prophase • Chromosomes become visible • Nuclear envelope dissolves • Spindle forms from centrioles
Metaphase • Chromosomes line up along equator
Anaphase • Chromatids separate and reeled to opposite poles
Telophase • Nuclear envelope forms at each pole • Chromosomes uncoil • Spindle dissolves • Cytokinesis begins
Cytokinesis • Division of the cytoplasm • Animal cells – pinch and split • Plant cells – forms cell plate down the center • MOVIE
Meiosis • Formation of haploid gametes from one germ cell • Homologous chromosomes – chromosomes of similar size, shape, & genetic content
Meiosis • Meiosis I • Prophase I • Metaphase I • Anaphase I • Telophase I • Meiosis II • Prophase II • Metaphase II • Anaphase II • Telophase II
Prophase I • Homologous chromosomes pair up & crossing over occurs • Animation • Allows genetic variation
Prophase I • Chromosomes become visible • Nuclear env. breaks down • Spindle forms • Crossing over
Metaphase I • Pairs of homologous chromosomes move to equator of cell
Anaphase I • Homologous chromosomes reeled to opposite poles
Telophase I • Chromosomes gather at poles • Cytokinesis
Prophase II • New spindle forms
Metaphase II • Chromosomes line up on equator
Anaphase II • Chromatids reeled to opposite poles
Telophase II • Nuclear envelope forms • Cytokinesis
What can go wrong? • Nondisjunction– the chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis • Trisomy – individual has 3 of a particular chromosome • Down syndrome = trisomy 21
