Cell Cycle Mitosis Cell Reproduction and Cell Division CELL REPRODUCTION MITOSIS • Cells continue to grow (protein synthesis) • Cell – Surface Area/Volume Hypothesis • Answer to problems – Cell Division Cell Reproduction Problems • I: DNA is a long and thin polymer. How does a cell reproduce so that it is able to produce a new cell without causing damage to the DNA? • (Cell cycle and Mitosis) • II: DNA must be reduced by half to produce a sex cell. How does a cell carry out the reduction of DNA without producing genetically deficient gametes? • (Cell cycle and Meiosis) PROBLEMS THAT THE CELL MUST OVERCOME TO REPRODUCE • Nuclear Nurturing • How does a cell give DNA to the offspring cell without losing it’s own DNA • Reproductive Roulette • What will stop the cells reproductive cycle so that it does not produce a large mass of undifferentiated cells – (Cancer) • Dainty DNA • DNA is such a long thin molecule. What can stop the cell from fragmenting the DNA as it tries to pass the DNA on to the new cell. SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEMS • Nuclear Nurturing • CELL CYCLE • Reproductive Roulette • CELL CYCLE • Dainty DNA • MITOSIS LIFE CYCLE OF THE CELL • Two major divisions to cell LIFE CYCLE – GROWTH PHASE • Cell doubles in mass – DIVISION PHASE • Cell divides into two smaller cells CELL CYCLE • G1 STAGE • growth stage cell grows about twice it's size. Takes about eight hours. • S STAGE • DNA replication process takes about six hours. • G2 STAGE • Growth stage. High degree of protein synthesis • G1, S, G2 – COLLECTIVELY ARE CALLED INTERPHASE • M STAGE – Mitotic division stage. Cell Cycle Control • • • Cyclins – a G1 cyclin (cyclin D) – S-phase cyclins (cyclins E and A) – mitotic cyclins (cyclins B and A) – Their levels in the cell rise and fall with the stages of the cell cycle. Cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) – a G1 Cdk (Cdk4) – an S-phase Cdk ((Cdk2) – an M-phase Cdk (Cdk1) – Their levels in the cell remain fairly stable, but each must bind the appropriate cyclin (whose levels fluctuate) in order to be activated. – They add phosphate groups to a variety of protein substrates that control processes in the cell cycle. Anaphase-promoting complex (APC). – (The APC is also called the cyclosome, and the complex is often designated as the APC/C.) The APC/C – triggers the events leading to destruction of the cohesins thus allowing the sister chromatids to separate; – degrades the mitotic cyclin B. Checkpoints DIVISION PHASE • TWO STAGES – CYTOKINESIS • DIVISION OF THE CELLS CYTOPLASM – NUCLEAR DIVISION • DIVISION OF THE CELLS DNA TYPES OF NUCLEAR DIVISION • MITOSIS : – DIVISION OF THE NUCLEAR MATERIAL AN EQUATIONAL DIVISION • MEIOSIS – GAMETE CELL PREPARATION – A REDUCTION _ EQUATIONAL DIVISION MITOSIS • DIVISION OF THE NUCLEAR MATERIAL • Occurs in four stages that blend into each other. Each stage is separated by distinct happenings. – Four stages • • • • • P.M.A.T PROPHASE METAPHASE ANAPHASE TELOPHASE ANALOGY • PROPHASE – Prepare • METAPHASE – Middle • ANAPHASE – Apart • TELOPHASE – Two CHROMOSOMAL TIPS • During interphase_-chromatin is diffuse but firmly attached to the nuclear matrix (sometimes called the chromatin net). • During mitosis_-chromosomes condense. Chromosomes tightly coiled around a protein chromosomal scaffold. Helps prepare the chromosome for division of nuclear material more efficiently. • Chromosomes come in pairs. A pair of chromosomes are called homologue. PROPHASE • NUCLEAR PREPARATION • Chromosomes condense • Spindles (microtubule) organize at the poles may form asters. Cytoskeleton disassembles forming a large pool of tubulin dimers. In animal cells the paired Centriole may initiate the production of the spindles or align them. • Nuclear membrane disappears. The membrane breaks up into membrane fragments indistinguishable from bits of endoplasmic reticulum. METAPHASE • NUCLEAR ALIGNMENT ON EQUATOR (MIDDLE) – Spindles position the chromosomes midway between each spindle pole (mitotic center) of the cell at the equatorial plate or metaphase plate. In animal cells the spindle pole consists of a pair of centrioles surrounded by a radial array of Microtubules called an ASTER. ANAPHASE • NUCLEAR MATERIAL IS SEPARATED (APART) – chromosomes are separated at the centromere. • The two separate chromatids are now called daughter chromosomes. • Separation continues as the daughter chromosomes are pulled towards their respective poles. • Mitotic poles of the cell move farther apart. TELOPHASE • • • • • (TWO) TWO NUCLEI AND CYTOKINESIS Chromosomes are at the separate poles Nuclear membrane assembles Chromosomes Decondense CYTOKINESIS • Animals: • Cell (cleavage) furrow is formed. Cell is pinched in the middle by Microfilaments squeezing the center (CONTRACTILE RING). • Plants: • Cell plate forms. Tiny vesicles form first. Cell plate develops from vesicles pectin. The pectin fills the plate forming the middle lamella. Primary cell wall forms Meiosis Set Reduction of Chromosomes SEXUAL REPRODUCTION • CELL REPRODUCTION – The process of cell generation. An existing cell procures the existence of another cell. • TYPES – Asexual – The genetic material of a new cell is contributed by a single cell. Mitotic division is the mechanism of Asexual reproduction. Varied names are applied to this type of reproduction in organisms, such as budding, cleavage, fission, regeneration, and others. – Sexual – The genetic material of a new cell is contributed by two parent cells. The genome of the new cell is dissimilar from both of the parent cells. Meiotic division and fertilization are the mechanisms of sexual reproduction. GENETIC ADVANTAGES OF SEXUAL REPRODUCTION • The cell ability to survive unpredictable changes in the environment. • This provides an ability of adaptability. (e.g. Bacterial resistance to antibiotics) • Genetic combination of material from one organism to a population. MEIOSIS AND SHUFFLING CHROMOSOMES • DIPLOID – TWO COPIES OF EACH CHROMOSOME. • HAPLOID (MONOPLOID) – A SINGLE COPY OF EACH CHROMOSOME. MEIOSIS • TWO STEPS – MEIOSIS I • reduction division • PMAT I – MEIOSIS II • equational division • PMAT II MEIOSIS I • • • • Prophase I Metaphase I Anaphase I Telophase I Mitosis Review Importance in comparison – Leptotene • Chromosomes coil (Condense) – Zygotene • Chromosomes form synaptonemal complex which holds two homologue (Bivalent) together like a zipper. Crossing over occurs during Zygotene. – Pachytene • Chromosomes continue to condense and are held tightly by the synaptonemal complex. – Diplotene • Further condensation of chromosomes occur. Individual chromosomes separate along the synaptonemal complex and are repulsed except at the chiasmata (chiasma). – Diakinesis • Nuclear membrane fragmentation, and chromosomes are at maximum condensation. Prophase I METAPHASE I Chromosome bivalents line up on the equatorial plane in a tetrad formation. The tetrad formation is different from the chromosome arrangement during mitotic division and meiotic II division. ANAPHASE I • Chromosomes separated similar to the mitotic process except complete homologue are pulled towards the poles. • This step causes a "Reduction Division". TELOPHASE I • Chromosomes have reached the cell's poles and a cytokinesis may occur at this time. Chromosomes will remain in the coiled condition for the second stage of meiosis. During Meiosis the paternal is separated from the maternal. Rr? S S R R Rr? Mitosis s s r r S S s s Rr or RR Or RS? R r R r Rr or rr Or rs? Meiosis I Homologous Pairs Tetrad MEIOSIS II • Four Stages – Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II • Similar to mitosis • Results: Two haploid cells produce four haploid cells GAMETE PRODUCTION • Spermatogenesis – millions produced • Oogenesis – 1 egg and 3 polar bodies – Does NOT finish in humans until fertilization Life Cycles • Alternation between haploid and diploid cell structures • Three Types – Diplonic – Haplonic – Alternation between Diplonic and Haplonic called Alternation of Generations
