Cell Division Cell division is the cornerstone of life Genome: a cell’s complete set of an Organism’s genetic material comprised of (DNA)
Chromosomes Prokaryotes have a single, circular chromosome
Cell Division • Prokaryotes (bacteria) reproduce • through cell division Binary fission • Circular chromosome • (DNA) is replicated New cell wall forms between copies, cell splits
Mitosis • Eukaryotes use cell division to create new cells • MITOSIS: division of the nucleus Asexual cell division • Growth, Maintenance and Repair Mitosis Mitosis • Reproduction
Chromosomes • Eukaryotes have genome distributed • across many chromosomes • Humans: 46 (23 pairs) • Mosquito: 6 (3 pairs) Toad: 22 (11 pairs) • Potato: 48 (24 pairs) Dog: 78 (39 pairs)
Chromosome made of a DNA & protein complex: chromatin Following DNA replication, a chromosome contains Two sister chromatids attached by a centromere Chromosome Sister Chromatids Centromere
Humans: 46 • 2 sets of 23 chromosomes (diploid) • n = number of chromosomes in a set • Fundamental number, haploid number • n = contribution from each parent • 46 chromosomes (2n = 46) 23 = 1 sex chromosome, 22 autosomes
Mitosis and Interphase Alternate • The cell cycle • Cells are in interphase 90% of the time • G1 = Gap 1 (cell growth) • S = chromosome synthesis (duplication) • G2 = Gap 2 (cell growth) • M = Mitosis
Mitosis and Interphase Alternate Parent cell is Homologous (2n, diploid) Chromosomes are replicated during S-phase of cell cycle. Chromosomes and copies are separated during mitosis. One of each pair to daughter cell Copies
Stages of Mitosis • Prophase • Metaphase • Anaphase • Telophase • Cytokenesis
Prophase • Chromatin coils into visible chromosomes • Under a light microscope, only the nuclear envelope (with nucleoli) and a tangle of chromatin are visible • Centrosomes: mitotic centers, poles for division
Metaphase • Nuclear envelope breaks • Microtubules attach centromere to centrioles (in mitotic center aka centrosome) • Chromatids align on a plane at cell’s equator
Anaphase • Chromatids separate simultaneously • Sister chromatids become daughter chromosomes
Telophase • Daughter chromosomes stop moving • Chromosomes uncoil, nucleus and nucleoli reform
Cytokinesis • Mitosis: nuclear division (karyokinesis) • Division of cell cytoplasm after mitosis is known as cytokinesis • Cell membrane/wall forms creating two new cells
