  1. Cell Reproduction CELL DIVISION

  2. Why Do Cells Need To Divide? • It depends on the organism • Unicellular organisms like bacteria (prokaryotes) divide to reproduce • Multicellular organisms (most eukaryotes) use it to grow larger and repair damaged cells.

  3. Differentiation • All the cells in your body have the same DNA • The fertilized egg (zygote) that made you divided many times. • The resulting cells differentiated into all the different cell types you have by turning on certain genes in your DNA.

  4. 3 Types of Cell Division • 1. Binary fission-cell division in prokaryotes • 2. Cell Cycle (with Mitosis)-cell division in eukaryotes • 3. Meiosis—cell division to form sex cells (egg and sperm)

  5. Prokaryotes • Divide by binary fission • Circular DNA • Results in two cells genetically the same • What has to take place before any cells divide?

  6. 3 Types of Cell Division • 1. Binary fission-cell division in prokaryotes • 2. Cell Cycle (with Mitosis)-cell division in eukaryotes • 3. Meiosis—cell division to form sex cells (egg and sperm)

  7. Eukaryotes • The Cell Cycle • Growth • Repair or replacement of cells. • Control size so nutrients can get in and waste can get out in a timely fashion • Some cells die quickly and need to be replaced a lot (skin cells). • Some cells never get replaced (nerve cells). • Some organisms can regenerate whole body parts.

  8. The Cell Cycle • Each cell goes through a series of phases throughout its life. • The cell cycle-all events between one cell division and the next • **ONE REPLICATION & ONE DIVISION • Result? 2 daughter cells genetically exact to the parent cell they came from. Interphase

  9. The Cell Cycle • 2 basic steps: Interphase (G1, S, G2) and Mitosis (M) • Interphase: the longest part of cell cycle composed of G1, S, G2 stages • M=Mitosis = Nuclear division Interphase

  10. G1 Phase • First step of Interphase • G1 (G=gap) • Cell going through intense growth using lots of food and energy. • DNA at this point is unwound and called chromatin Interphase

  11. "S" Phase • Second step in Interphase • S=Synthesis phase. • All DNA replicated during this phasecell has double the genetic material • Sister chromatid- one of two identical parts of a replicated chromosome Interphase

  12. G2 Phase • Third step in Interphase • G=gap • Cell grows some more. • Extra organelles are being made. Interphase

  13. "M" Phase • After Interphase (G1, S, and G2) • M=Mitosis • Mitosis = Nuclear division. • MITOSIS IS ONLY THE DIVISION OF THE NUCLEUS DURING THE CELL CYCLE!!! • There are four mitotic steps: • Prophase • Metaphase • Anaphase • Telophase.

  14. Prophase • DNA coils up into visible chromosomes • Nuclear envelope disappears. • Spindle fiber forms from the centrioles.

  15. Metaphase • Chromosomes begin to line up at the equator of the cell. • Spindle fibers attach to the centromere of each sister chromatid of the chromosome.

  16. Anaphase • Spindle fibers begin to pull apart sister chromatids. Each is now a chromosome • Spindle breaks down after this.

  17. Telophase • Each side now has a full set of chromosomes. • Nuclear envelope will reform.

  18. Cytokinesis • “Cytokinesis”—division of cytoplasm at the end of the cell cycle which cleaves the cell in half. • Animal cells form a “furrow.” • Plant cells form a new cell wall. • Formation of two, identical daughter cells with 46 chromosomes

  19. Overall Cell Cycle Process • Interphase (G1, S, G2) and Mitosis (Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase) IPMAT • Cell Cycle Animation

  20. REGULATION OF CELL CYCLE • Cell division controlled by certain proteins called cyclins • Cancer cells don’t respond to the cyclin signals---uncontrolled growth (tumors) • Benign tumors stay intact • Malignant tumors spread throughout body (metastasize)
