Cellular Division

Cell Division
All cells are derived from preexisting cells New cells are produced for growth and to replace damaged or old cells Differs in prokaryotes (bacteria) and eukaryotes (protists, fungi, plants, & animals)
2

Keeping Cells Identical


The instructions for making cell parts are encoded in the DNA, so each new cell must get a complete set of the DNA molecules

DNA must be Original DNA copied or strand replicated before cell division Two new, identical DNA Each new cell strands will then have an identical copy of the DNA

DNA Replication

Identical Daughter Cells

Two identical daughter cells Parent Cell

Chromosomes

Prokaryotic Chromosome
The DNA of prokaryotes (bacteria) is one, circular chromosome attached to the inside of the cell membrane

All eukaryotic cells store genetic information in chromosomes

Eukaryotic Chromosomes

Most eukaryotes have between 10 and 50 chromosomes in their body cells Human body cells have 46 chromosomes or 23 identical pairs

Each chromosome is composed of a single, tightly coiled DNA molecule Chromosomes cant be seen when cells arent dividing and are called chromatin

Eukaryotic Chromosomes

Compacting DNA into Chromosomes


DNA is tightly coiled around proteins called histones
10

Chromosomes in Dividing Cells


Duplicated chromosomes are called chromatids & are held together by the centromere
Called Sister Chromatids

11

Karyotype
A picture of the chromosomes from a human cell arranged in pairs by size First 22 pairs are called autosomes Last pair are the sex chromosomes XX female or XY male

Cell Reproduction

14

Asexual reproduction involves a single cell dividing to make 2 new, identical daughter cells Mitosis & binary fission are examples of asexual reproduction Sexual reproduction involves two cells (egg & sperm) joining to make a new cell (zygote) that is NOT identical to the original cells Meiosis is an example

Cell Division in Prokaryotes


Prokaryotes such as bacteria divide into 2 Parent cell identical cells by the process of binary fission Chromosome Single chromosome relicates makes a copy of itself Cell wall forms Cell splits between the chromosomes dividing the cell

The Cell Cycle


20

Five Phases of the Cell Cycle


G1 - primary growth phase S synthesis; DNA replicated G2 - secondary growth phase M - mitosis C - cytokinesis

collectively these 3 stages are called interphase

21

Cell Cycle

22

Interphase - G1 Stage
1st growth stage after cell division Cells mature by making more cytoplasm & organelles Cell carries on its normal metabolic activities

23

Synthesis stage DNA is copied or replicated

Interphase S Stage

Two identical copies of DNA

Original DNA
24

Interphase G2 Stage
2nd Growth Stage Occurs after DNA has been copied All cell structures needed for division are made (e.g. centrioles) Both organelles & proteins are synthesized

Telophase

Comparison of Anaphase & Telophase

46

Means division of the cytoplasm Division of cell into two, identical halves called daughter cells In plant cells, cell plate forms at the equator to divide cell In animal cells, cleavage furrow forms to split cell

Cytokinesis

Mitotic Stages

49

Daughter Cells of Mitosis


Have the same number of chromosomes as each other and as the parent cell from which they were formed Identical to each other, but smaller than parent cell Must grow in size to become mature cells (G1 of Interphase)
50

Identical Daughter Cells


What is the 2n or diploid number?

Chromosome number the same, but cells smaller than parent cell

Formation of Gametes
(Eggs & Sperm)

Meiosis

66

Facts About Meiosis


Preceded by interphase which includes chromosome replication Two meiotic divisions --- Meiosis I and Meiosis II Called Reduction- division Original cell is diploid (2n) Four daughter cells produced that are monoploid (1n)
67

Facts About Meiosis


Daughter cells contain half the number of chromosomes as the original cell Produces gametes (eggs & sperm) Occurs in the testes in males (Spermatogenesis) Occurs in the ovaries in females (Oogenesis)
68

More Meiosis Facts


Start

with 46 double stranded chromosomes (2n) After 1 division - 23 double stranded chromosomes (n) After 2nd division - 23 single stranded chromosomes (n) Occurs in our germ cells that produce gametes
69

Why Do we Need Meiosis?


It is the fundamental basis of sexual reproduction Two haploid (1n) gametes are brought together through fertilization to form a diploid (2n) zygote

70

Fertilization Putting it all together


2n = 6
1n =3

71

Replication of Chromosomes
Replication is the process of duplicating a chromosome Occurs prior to division Replicated copies are called sister chromatids Held together at centromere
Occurs in Interphase

72

A Replicated Chromosome
Gene X

(same genes, different alleles)

Homologs

Sister Chromatids
(same genes, same alleles)

Homologs separate in meiosis I and therefore different alleles separate.


73

Meiosis Forms Haploid Gametes


Meiosis must reduce the chromosome number by half Fertilization then restores the 2n number

too much!
meiosis reduces genetic content The right number!

Homologs pair. Crossing over occurs.

Late prophase

Chromosomes condense. Spindle forms. Nuclear envelope fragments.


77

Tetrads Form in Prophase I


Homologous chromosomes (each with sister chromatids)

Join to form a TETRAD

Called Synapsis
78

Crossing-Over
Homologous chromosomes in a tetrad cross over each other Pieces of chromosomes or genes are exchanged Produces Genetic recombination in the offspring
79

Homologous Chromosomes During Crossing-Over

80

Crossing-Over

Crossing-over multiplies the already huge number of different gamete types produced by independent assortment 81

Metaphase I
Homologous pairs of chromosomes align along the equator of the cell

82

Anaphase I

Homologs separate and move to opposite poles.


Sister chromatids remain attached at their centromeres.
83

Telophase I
Nuclear envelopes reassemble. Spindle disappears.
Cytokinesis divides cell into two.

84

Meiosis II
Gene X

Only one homolog of each chromosome is present in the cell. Sister chromatids carry identical genetic information.

Meiosis II produces gametes with one copy of each chromosome and thus one copy of each gene.
85

Results of Meiosis

Gametogenesis
Oogenesis or Spermatogenesis
92

Spermatogenesis

95

Oogenesis
Occurs in the ovaries Two divisions produce 3 polar bodies that die and 1 egg Polar bodies die because of unequal division of cytoplasm Immature egg called oocyte Starting at puberty, one oocyte matures into an ovum (egg) every 28 days
