Concept 9.1. ALL CELLS COME FROM CELLS. CELL REPRODUCTION. “ All cells come from pre-existing cells” Two main types of cell reproduction: Asexual : ( MITOSIS ) – cells make identical copies of themselves Sexual : ( MEIOSIS ) – produces gametes (sperm and egg cells). SIMPLE CELL DIVISION.

Concept 9.1 ALL CELLS COME FROM CELLS
CELL REPRODUCTION • “All cells come from pre-existing cells” • Two main types of cell reproduction: • Asexual: (MITOSIS) – cells make identical copies of themselves • Sexual: (MEIOSIS) – produces gametes (sperm and egg cells)
SIMPLE CELL DIVISION • Simple cell division: process used for asexual cell reproduction • One parent cell produces two daughter cells • Both daughter cells are genetically identical to parent cell
FUNCTIONS OF SIMPLE CELL DIVISION • For unicellular organisms: mechanism for reproduction • For multicellular organisms: mechanism for growth, repair, development, and renewal
SEXUAL REPRODUCTION • Involves two parents and the union of gametes (sex cells) • Offspring not identical to either parent • Offspring have a combination of genetic material from each parent • Special type of cell division is needed to produce gametes (discussed later)
Concept 9.2 THE CELL CYCLE MULTIPLIES CELLS
CHROMOSOMES & CELL DIVISION • Chromatin: long thin fibers made up of DNA & protein molecules in nucleus • Not visible with light microscope • Chromosome: condensed chromatin threads formed when cell prepares to divide • Visible with light microscope
THE CELL CYCLE • Sequence of growth and division of cell • Extends from “birth” of cell to the time that a cell reproduces itself • Two general periods: 1.interphase – growth of the cell 2. mitosis – division of the nucleus of cell
INTERPHASE • Longest phase of cell cycle • Cell increases supply of proteins, organelles, and grows in size • Divided into 3 phases: G1, S, and G2
G1 PHASE • Cell grows rapidly in size • Metabolic activity is high • Preparation for DNA replication • Duplication of organelles
S PHASE • Synthesis phase • DNA synthesis takes place • Duplicate copies of each chromosome are made
G2 PHASE • Shorter than G1 • Cell grows • Duplication of organelles • Preparation for cell division
MITOTIC (M) PHASE • Consists of two processes: • Mitosis (M): duplicated chromosomes divide and separate to form two “daughter” nuclei • Cytokinesis (C): cytoplasm is divided
Concept 9.3 CELLS DIVIDE DURING THE MITOTIC PHASE
MITOTIC SPINDLE • Separation of chromosomes is guided by the spindle football-shaped framework of microtubules • Spindle microtubules grow from two centrosomes • Centrosomes: regions of material in cytoplasm—in animals, they contain structures called centrioles
PHASES OF MITOSIS • Divided into 4 phases: PMAT 1st - Prophase 2nd - Metaphase 3rd – Anaphase 4th - Telophase and Cytokinesis
Chromatin coils into visible chromosomes sisterchromatids Nucleolus disappears Nuclear membrane breaks down Mitotic spindle forms from centrioles Spindle fibers attach to centromeres of sister chromatids PROPHASE
Sister chromatids: pairs of identical chromosomes created before a cell divides Centromere: region where two sister chromatids are joined together SISTER CHROMATIDS
Chromosomes line up at equator or midline of cell Each consists of identical sister chromatids Spindle fibers attach to centromeres METAPHASE
Sister chromatids separate from their partners Each chromatid is now considered to be a daughter chromosome Chromosomes are pushed and pulled to opposite poles ANAPHASE
Events of prophase are reversed: Spindle disappears Nuclear envelopes reform around daughter chromosomes Chromosomes uncoil and lengthen forming chromatin Nucleolus reappears in each new nucleus TELOPHASE
CYTOKINESIS • Division of cytoplasm—usually occurs along with telophase • Occurs by different mechanisms in animal and plant cells • Animal cells: formation of a cleavagefurrow separates two new nuclei • Plants cells: formation of cell plate

Concept 9.4 CANCER CELLS GROW AND DIVIDE OUT OF CONTROL
“CONTROL SYSTEMS” IN CELL DIVISION • Enzymes control sequence of events in the cell cycle • Malfunctions in the control system may cause cells to reproduce at the wrong time or in the wrong place
TUMORS & CANCER • Benign tumor: abnormal mass of essentially normal cells • Always remain at original site • May cause health problems depending on size and location • Can usually be surgically removed
TUMORS & CANCER • Malignant tumors: masses of cells that result from reproduction of cancer cells • Cancer: disease caused by disruption of mechanisms that control the cell cycle • Metastasis: spread of cancer cells beyond original site • Most dangerous characteristic is the ability of cancer cells to spread to different areas of body
CANCER TREATMENT • Surgery: malignant tumor removed • Radiation & Chemotherapy: used to disrupt cell division • May have undesirable side effects
Concept 9.5 MEIOSIS FUNCTIONS IN SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
MEIOSIS • Type of cell division that produces four cells • Each new cell has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell • Meiosis produces gametes sperm and egg cells • In animals, meiosis occurs in the sex organs—ovaries and testes
HUMAN CHROMOSOMES • Humans have 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes • Females: all 23 pairs look alike • Males: two chromosomes of one pair do not look alike • Sex chromosomes: pair of chromosomes that determine sex • Occur in two forms: X and Y • Females: XX and Males: XY
Paired chromosomes: one inherited from the mother and the other from the father Not identical to one another Each has same genes controlling the same trait in same order HOMOLOGOUS CHROMOSOMES
Karyotype: a display of 46 chromosomes of an individual Human body cells 46 chromosomes—23 pairs of homologous chromosomes Each chromosome has a twin that resembles it in size and shape(except sex chromosomes in males) KARYOTYPES
DIPLOID & HAPLOID CELLS • Diploid:(2n) contain two homologous sets of chromosomes 46 total • Body (somatic) cells -most human cells are diploid • Haploid: (n) have a single set of chromosomes 23 total • Gametes - sperm and egg – are haploid
Fertilization: fusing of the nucleus of a haploid sperm with the nucleus of a haploid egg • Zygote: produced as a result of fertilizationfertilized egg is diploid
PROCESS OF MEIOSIS • Two distinct parts: • Meiosis I: homologous chromosomes separate from each other - sister chromatids remain together • Meiosis II: sister chromatids separate from each other
Process begins just like mitosis Interphase: cell duplicates its DNA Meiosis begins after chromosomes have been duplicated MEIOSIS I
Similar to prophase in mitosis Chromatin coils up Nuclear membrane disappears Nucleolus disappears Spindle fibers attach to only one side of centromere PROPHASE I
Has two steps not seen in prophase of mitosis 1. Tetrad Formation 2. Crossing Over PROPHASE I
TETRAD FORMATION • Homologous chromosomes—one from each parent—line up along their length gene by gene and pair tightly • Tetrad: four part structure—made up of two homologous chromosomes, each made up of two sister chromatids
Chromosomes in tetrad are tightly paired Non-sister chromatids (each from a different parent) can fold over each other, break, and exchange genetic material CROSSING OVER
Homologous chromosomes line up together as tetrads at midline of cell This step is unique to meiosis Homologous chromosomes line up independently of one another in mitosis METAPHASE I
