Lecture by Edward J. Zalisko
Introduction
• Cancer cells start as normal cells, but genetic
mutations cause them to lose the ability to regulate
their division.
• Cancer cells divide and may spread, invading
other tissues, disrupting organ function, and killing
the host.
• Although uncontrolled cell division is harmful,
normal cell division is necessary in all forms of life.

CELL DIVISION AND REPRODUCTION

© 2018 Pearson Education Ltd.


8.1 Cell division plays many important roles
in the lives of organisms
• Cell division is at the heart of the reproduction of
cells and organisms because cells originate only
from preexisting cells.
• Some organisms reproduce through asexual
reproduction, producing offspring that are all
genetic copies of the parent and identical to each
other.
• Other organisms reproduce through sexual
reproduction, creating a variety of offspring.

8.2 Prokaryotes reproduce by binary fission
• Prokaryotic cells reproduce asexually by binary
fission, a term that means “dividing in half.”
• In typical prokaryotes, most genes are carried on
one circular DNA molecule that, with associated
proteins, constitutes the organism’s chromosome.
• As the cell replicates its single chromosome,
• the copies move apart,
• the plasma membrane pinches inward, and
• more cell wall is made, which eventually divides the
parent cell into two daughter cells.

THE EUKARYOTIC CELL CYCLE
AND MITOSIS

© 2018 Pearson Education Ltd.


8.3 The large, complex chromosomes of
eukaryotes duplicate with each cell division
• A eukaryotic cell has many more genes than a
prokaryotic cell, and they are grouped into multiple
chromosomes in the nucleus.
• Each chromosome contains one long DNA
molecule.
• Individual chromosomes are visible under a light
microscope only when the cell is in the process of
dividing; otherwise, chromosomes are thin, loosely
packed chromatin fibers too small to be seen.

© 2018 Pearson Education Ltd.


8.3 The large, complex chromosomes of
eukaryotes duplicate with each cell division
• Before a cell starts dividing, the chromosomes
duplicate, producing sister chromatids
(containing identical DNA) that are joined together
along their lengths by proteins, most closely at a
region called the centromere.
• Cell division involves the separation of sister
chromatids and results in two daughter cells, each
containing a complete and identical set of
chromosomes.

8.3 The large, complex chromosomes of
eukaryotes duplicate with each cell division

8.4 The cell cycle includes growth and
division phases
• The cell cycle is an ordered sequence of events
that extends from the time a cell is first formed
from a dividing parent cell until its own division.
Checkpoint question A researcher treats cells with
a chemical that prevents DNA synthesis from
starting. This treatment would trap the cells in
which part of the cell cycle?

8.5 Cell division is a continuum of dynamic
changes
• Mitosis distributes duplicated chromosomes into
two daughter nuclei.
• After the chromosomes are coiled up, a mitotic
spindle made of microtubules moves the
chromosomes to the middle of the cell.
• The sister chromatids then separate and move to
opposite poles of the cell, at which point two new
nuclei form.

8.6 Cytokinesis differs for plant and animal
cells
• Cytokinesis, in which the cell divides in two,
overlaps the end of mitosis.
• In animals, cytokinesis occurs when a cell
constricts, forming a cleavage furrow.
• In plants, a membranous cell plate forms and then
splits the cell in two.

8.7 The rate of cell division is affected by
environmental factors
• In laboratory cultures, most normal cells divide
only when attached to a surface.
• The cultured cells continue dividing until they touch
one another.
• Most animal cells divide only when stimulated by
growth factors, and some do not divide at all.

8.7 The rate of cell division is affected by
environmental factors
Checkpoint question Compared with a control
culture, the cells in an experimental culture are
fewer but much larger in size when they cover the
dish surface and stop growing. What is a
reasonable hypothesis for this difference?

8.8 Growth factors signal the cell cycle
control system
• A set of proteins within the cell controls the cell
cycle.
• Signals affecting critical checkpoints in the cell
cycle determine whether a cell will go through the
complete cycle and divide.
• The binding of growth factors to specific receptors
on the plasma membrane is usually necessary for
cell division.

8.9 CONNECTION: Growing out of control,
cancer cells produce malignant tumors
• Cancer cells divide excessively to form masses
called tumors.
• Malignant tumors can invade other tissues.
• Radiation and chemotherapy are effective as
cancer treatments because they interfere with cell
division.

8.10 Scientific Thinking: The best cancer
treatment may vary by individual
• Mortality rates from cancer vary by age of
diagnosis, race, and other factors.
• Taking such data into account may improve
outcomes of cancer treatment.
Checkpoint question Why must human cancer
research often use an observational method when
controlled studies could yield more definitive
results?

8.11 Chromosomes are matched in
homologous pairs
• The somatic (body) cells of each species contain
a specific number of chromosomes; for example,
human cells have 46, consisting of 23 pairs of
homologous chromosomes.
• The chromosomes of a homologous pair of
autosomes carry genes for the same
characteristics at the same place, or locus.
• Checkpoint question Do pairs of homologous
chromosomes carry the same genes?

8.12 Gametes have a single set of
chromosomes
• Cells with two sets of homologous chromosomes
are diploid.
• Gametes—eggs and sperm—are haploid cells
with a single set of chromosomes.
• Sexual life cycles involve the alternation of haploid
and diploid stages.

8.13 Meiosis reduces the chromosome
number from diploid to haploid
• Meiosis, like mitosis, is preceded by chromosome
duplication, but in meiosis, the cell divides twice to
form four daughter cells.
• The first division, meiosis I, starts with the pairing of
homologous chromosomes.
• In crossing over, homologous chromosomes
exchange corresponding segments.

© 2018 Pearson Education Ltd.


8.13 Meiosis reduces the chromosome
number from diploid to haploid
• Meiosis I separates the members of each
homologous pair and produces two daughter cells,
each with one set of chromosomes.
• Meiosis II is essentially the same as mitosis:
• In each of the cells, the sister chromatids of each
chromosome separate.
• The result is a total of four haploid cells.

© 2018 Pearson Education Ltd.


8.13 Meiosis reduces the chromosome
number from diploid to haploid
Checkpoint question A cell has the haploid
number of chromosomes, but each chromosome
has two chromatids. The chromosomes are
arranged singly at the center of the spindle. What
is the meiotic stage?

8.14 VISUALIZING THE CONCEPT: Mitosis
and meiosis have important similarities and
differences
• Both mitosis and meiosis begin with diploid parent
cells that have chromosomes duplicated during the
previous interphase.
• Mitosis produces two genetically identical diploid
somatic daughter cells.
• Meiosis produces four genetically unique haploid
gametes.

8.15 Independent orientation of
chromosomes in meiosis and random
fertilization lead to varied offspring
• Each chromosome of a homologous pair differs at
many points from the other member of the pair.
• Random arrangements of chromosome pairs at
metaphase I of meiosis lead to many different
combinations of chromosomes in eggs and sperm.
• Random fertilization of eggs by sperm greatly
increases this variation.

8.16 Homologous chromosomes may carry
different versions of genes
• The differences between homologous
chromosomes come from the fact that they can
bear different versions of genes at corresponding
loci.
• Crossing over is an exchange of corresponding
segments between nonsister chromatids of
homologous chromosomes.

8.18 Accidents during meiosis can alter
chromosome number
• An abnormal chromosome count is the result of
nondisjunction, which can result from
• the failure of a pair of homologous chromosomes to
separate during meiosis I or
• the failure of sister chromatids to separate during
meiosis II.
Checkpoint question Explain how nondisjunction
could result in a diploid gamete.

8.19 A karyotype is a photographic inventory
of an individual’s chromosomes
• To prepare a karyotype, white blood cells are
• isolated,
• stimulated to grow,
• arrested at metaphase, and
• photographed under a microscope.
• The chromosomes are arranged into ordered pairs
so that any chromosomal abnormalities can be

8.21 CONNECTION: Abnormal numbers of
sex chromosomes do not usually affect
survival
• Nondisjunction of the sex chromosomes during
meiosis can result in individuals with a missing or
extra X or Y chromosome.
• In some cases (such as XXY), this leads to
syndromes that can affect the health of the
individual.
• In other cases (such as XXX), the body is normal.

8.22 EVOLUTION CONNECTION: New species
can arise from errors in cell division
• Nondisjunction can produce polyploid organisms,
organisms with extra sets of chromosomes.
• Such errors in cell division can be important in the
evolution of new species.

8.23 CONNECTION: Alterations of
chromosome structure can cause birth
defects and cancer
• Chromosome breakage can lead to
rearrangements—deletions, duplications,
inversions, and translocations—that can
produce genetic disorders or, if the changes occur
in somatic cells, cancer.
