Cell Reproduction Chapter 8 Biology CPA
Chromosomes • Rod shaped structures made of DNA and proteins • Chromosomes are visible in cells undergoing division • Chromosomes are made by DNA coiling into tight structures • Consist of two identical halves
Chromosome Structure • Histones are proteins that DNA wraps around to make the chromosome shape • Chromosomes are made of two sister chromatids • Identical to each other
Chromosome Structure • Each chromosome is made of two “sister” chromatids • Near center of the chromosome is the centromere • Chromosomes are tightly coiled strings of DNA called chromatin
Chromosome Numbers • There is a specific numberof chromosomes in each organism • Ex: Humans have 46, chimpanzees have 48 • Humans have autosomesand sexchromosomes • We have 2 sex chromosomes • Either X or Y • We also have 44 autosomes • Which do not code for gender
Chromosome Numbers • Every cell of an organism produced by sexual reproduction has two copies of each autosome • One copy from mom and one copy from dad • The two copies of each pair is called homologous chromosomes • Same size and shape • Carry genes for the same traits
Karyotype • A karyotype is a pictureof one set of chromosomes • Shows you sex of organism • Shows your any chromosomal disorders
Chromosome Numbers • A diploidcell contains 2 sets of each chromosome • Prefix di = 2 • Abbreviated as 2n • n = number of chromosomes • A haploidcell contains only 1 set of each chromosome • Half of the total number • Usually sexcells
Cell Division in Prokaryotes • Prokaryotes • No nucleus • No organelles • Ex: Bacteria • Reproduction is very fast • Copy DNA • Split into twoidentical daughter cells • Cell division is calledbinaryfission
Cell Division in Eukaryotes • Eukaryotes • Have a nucleus • Have organelles • Ex: Humans, plants • Both nucleus and cytoplasm need to divide • Process of making new cells is called mitosis • Makes twoidentical daughter cells • Complex reproduction • Everything needs to be regulated! • Much more complex process – about 18 hours!
Cell Division and Reproduction • Asexual Reproduction • Produces identicaloffspring from a singleparent • Used by many single-celled organisms • Ex: bacteria • Occurs very quickly • Sexual Reproduction • Produces genetically differentoffspring from two parents • Fusion of two parent cells • Creates haploidgametes (sex cells)
The cell Cycle • A repeating set of events in the life of a cell • A cell splits to make 2 identicalcopies • This occurs in 3 main stages • Interphase – growth • Mitosis – divisionof the cell • Cytokinesis – Splitting of the cytoplasm
Interphase • Cell growth • Majority of cell’s life span is spent in this phase • 3 Part of Interphase: • G1, S, G2
G1 Phase • Gap 1 Phase • The cell is growing to mature size
S Phase • S = synthesisof DNA • DNA is copiedso there is a set for each new cell
G2 Phase • Gap 2 Phase • Cell growsagain • Replication of organelles • Cell prepares for cell division
mitosis Cell Division
mitosis • The part of a cell’s life cycle when the cell’s nucleus divides into 2 identicalnuclei • 4 steps: • Prophase • Metaphase • Anaphase • Telophase
Prophase • Shortening and tight coiling of chromatin into chromosomes • Nucleus breaks down and disappears • Centrioles separate and move to opposite poles of the cell • Centrosomes in plant cells • Centrioles shoot off spindlefibers
metaphase • Spindle fibers are connected to centromere of chromosomes • Spindle fibers move chromosomes • Chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell • Chromosomes are in the MIDDLE
anaphase • Sister chromatids attach to the short spindlefibers • Chromatids of each chromosome separate at the centromere • Chromosomes are pulled APART • Spindle fibers shorten and bring the sister chromatids to oppositepoles • After chromatids separate, they are called individual chromosomes
Telophase • Chromatids become chromatin • Spindle fibers disassemble • Nuclear envelope forms around each set of chromatin • Nucleolus reappears
Cytokinesis • Once mitosis has finished! • Last stage of cellcycle • Process is when the cytoplasm splits apart
Cytokinesis in Plant Cells • A cellplateforms between the two nuclei • The cytoplasm divides • A cellwallforms two daughter cells
Cytokinesis in Animal Cells • Cell membrane pinches in at equator • Cleavage furrow
Control of Cell Division • Checkpoints (Regulatory Proteins) • Repair enzymes fix any mutations • G1 Checkpoint • Proteins check to see if cell will be able to divide • Check for cell size • G2 Checkpoint • DNA repair enzymes check results of DNA replication during S phase • Mitosis checkpoint • If all is correct, proteins will signal cell to exit mitosis • Cell will renter interphase after cytokinesis and start process over again • If a cell does not meet requirements for checkpoints, the cell will be programmed to die • Apoptosis is controlled cell death
Uncontrolled Mitosis is cancer.
When Control is Lost • Enzyme proteins are not functioningproperly causing cell to reproduce outofcontrol • Could cause cancer • Cancer cells do not respond to body’s regulators that control mechanisms • A mass of cancer cells is called a tumor
