in the cell cycle that leads to uncontrolled cell growth.

Warm-Up:

1. Which side of the diagram, left or right, shows the smallest structures, and which shows the

largest? Explain your answer.

2. Summarize what happens during interphase. Be sure to include all three parts of interphase.

5.3 Control of the Cell Cycle

Not all cells move through the cell cycle at the same rate.

Ex: Most nerve cells ___________________________ once they are developed.

Ex: Blood cells may complete a cycle __________________________________.

Regulatory Proteins:

• The cell cycle is controlled by cyclins and other proteins

o _________________________________: Proteins that allow the cell cycle to proceed

only when certain events have occurred within the cell.

7

▪ Cyclin: A type of protein that regulates the cell cycle

o ____________________________________: Proteins that respond to events outside

the cell to speed up or slow down the cell cycle.

▪ Growth factors: A type of protein that stimulates growth and division of cells

during embryonic development and wound healing.

Cell growth and division is controlled by proteins and three checkpoints:

1. _________________________________________:

o If the cell is healthy and large enough, it will divide

o If conditions are not favorable, it will not divide

2. _________________________________________:

o DNA replication is checked by DNA repair enzymes

o Once checked, cell will prepare for mitosis

3. _________________________________________:

o Triggers the exit of mitosis and the entering of G1.

As new cells are produced, many others must die. This happens in two ways:

1. By accident, due to damage or injuring to a cell

2. “Programed” to die

o ______________________: A series of controlled steps leading to the self-destruction of

a cell that has been programmed to die.

▪ Apoptosis plays a key role in development by shaping the structure of

________________________ in plants and animals.

• Ex: The human hand is shaped the way it is because cells between the

fingers die by apoptosis during tissue development.

Cancer: ______________________________________________________________

• Caused by defects in the genes

Cancer and the Cell Cycle Videos and Questions

Video Animation 1 (1:11)

Transcript: The rate and timing of cell division in your body are normally very precisely regulated. Cells

are formed, mature, and eventually die. As this happens, new cells divide, creating replacement cells.

Chemical messengers that pass between neighboring cells help keep the rate of cell division equal to the

rate of cell death. Sometimes, a cell breaks free from its normal restraints and begins to follow its own

pattern of cell division. This pre-cancerous cell divides more often than normal, eventually producing a

mass of cells that also divide more often. Further changes in these cells can increase the frequency of

8

cell division even more until eventually a cancerous tumor develops. At this point, the tumor grows

large, but is confined to the tissue where it originated. Late in the development of cancer, some cells

may gain the ability to move into blood vessels and travel to other parts of the body. Once established in

new locations, these cells continue to divide in an uncontrolled fashion, eventually producing new

tumors.

1. What controls the rate of cell division?

2. What is a pre-cancerous cell?

3. What is the cause of a pre-cancerous cell?

Video Animation 2 (1:30)

Transcript: For many years, it was a mystery to scientists how cells controlled their cell division.

Scientists now know that the chemical messages that cells receive from neighboring cells affect a

complicated group of molecules in the cell. These molecules are called the "cell cycle clock." The cell

cycle clock integrates the mixture of signals the cell receives from its neighbors and determines whether

or not the cell should move through each stage of growth and division. If the answer is yes, the cell

grows and divides.

The cell cycle is composed of four stages. In the G1, or gap one, stage, the cell increases in size and

prepares to copy its DNA. Once all the necessary molecules are made, the clock moves the cell to the S

phase, called S for synthesis. This is when the cell copies its DNA. After the DNA is copied, a second gap

period called G2 occurs, and then the cell divides. The stage in which the cell divides is called M for

mitosis.

The new daughter cells immediately enter G1. Depending on the signals they receive from neighboring

cells, and the decision their cell cycle clocks make, they may go through the cell cycle again or stop

cycling temporarily or permanently. Thus, in normal tissues, cell growth and division are precisely

controlled by internal clocks.

4. What is the purpose of the Cell cycle clock?

9

5. Draw a picture of the cell cycle clock:

Video Animation 3 (0:40)

Transcript: Two types of genes play a major role in regulating the cell cycle. Genes called proto-

oncogenes encourage cell division. Proteins produced by these genes act like accelerators stimulating

the cell to grow and divide. In contrast, genes called tumor-suppressor genes inhibit cell division.

Proteins produced by these genes act like brakes to slow down or stop cell division. The balance

between the activities of proto-oncogenes and tumor-suppressor genes keeps normal cells dividing at a

rate that is appropriate for their position and role in the body.

6. Compare and contrast the 2 types of cancer genes

Tumor suppressor genes Proto-oncogenes

7. Why is the balance of these 2 genes important?

Video Animation 4 (0:59)

An important milestone in scientists' efforts to understand cancer came in the 1970s when it was shown

that many cancer-causing agents are also able to cause changes in DNA that we call mutations. In fact,

research showed that in many cases, chemicals that are powerful cancer-causing agents are also

powerful mutagens.

Mutagens are agents that produce mutations. This is shown here on a graph that compares the ability of

several chemicals to cause cancer with their ability to cause mutations. In contrast, chemicals that have

only a weak ability to stimulate the development of cancer were only weak mutagens.

We now know that some cancer-causing agents do not fit this simple pattern. But the fact that many

cancer-causing agents also cause mutations gave scientists an important clue about what might cause

cells to become cancerous.

8. Define carcinogen:

9. Define mutagen:

Video Animation 5 (1:18)

Normal cell division in the body depends on a precisely regulated set of events that determine when a

cell will divide and when it will not divide. Two types of genes called proto-oncogenes and tumor-

suppressor genes are primarily responsible for this regulation. When mutated, however, proto-

oncogenes can become what scientists call oncogenes, genes that stimulate excessive division. This

situation is similar to getting a car's accelerator stuck in the downward position. A cell that experiences

such mutations tends to divide more frequently than it normally would. In contrast, mutated tumor-

suppressor genes can become inactive.

A cell that experiences a mutation in a tumor-suppressor gene loses some of its crucial braking power.

Again, the result is a tendency for the cell to divide more frequently than it normally would. For a

cancerous tumor to develop, mutations must occur in several of a cell's division controlling genes. These

mutations disturb the balance that normally exists between signals that stimulate cell division and

signals that inhibit cell division. The result is uncontrolled division.

10. Explain what causes uncontrolled cell division:

12/1/17

Objective: Students will be able to describe how the cell cycle is regulated and the result of disruptions

in the cell cycle that leads to uncontrolled cell growth.

Warm-Up:

Scientists measured cyclin levels in clam egg cells as the cells went through their first mitotic divisions

after fertilization. The data are shown in the graph below. Cyclins are continually produced and

destroyed within cells. Cyclin production signals cells to enter mitosis, while cyclin destruction signals

cells to stop dividing and enter interphase.

11

1. How long does cyclin production last during a typical cell cycle in fertilized clam eggs?

2. During which part of the cell cycle does cyclin production begin? How quickly is cyclin

destroyed?

3. Supposed that the regulators that control cyclin production are no longer produced. What are

two possible outcomes?

5.4 Mitosis

Mitosis: Division of duplicated chromosomes into two new SOMATIC daughter cells

Stages of Mitosis:

1. Prophase: Genetic material inside the nucleus condenses and the duplicated chromosomes

become visible. Outside the nucleus, a spindle starts to form.

12

o ______________________________

o Chromatin is compacted into visible chromosomes

o ______________________________

o Cell starts to build a spindle (microtubule) that will help separate duplicated

chromosomes

o ______________________________

2. Metaphase: Centromeres of duplicated chromosomes line-up across the center of the cell.

Spindle fibers connect the centromere of each chromosome to the two poles of the spindle.

o Chromosome line up in the middle (equatorial plane) of the cell.

o _______________________________

3. Anaphase: _______________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________

o Anaphase ends when this movement stops and the chromosomes are in two separate

groups.

4. Telophase: Chromosomes begin to spread into a tangle of chromatin

o Nuclear envelope re-forms around two nuclei

o ________________________________________

o Nucleolus becomes visible in each daughter nuclei

Cytokinesis: Splits one cell into two, completing the process of cell division

• _______________________________________________

o Animal cells: cell membrane is drawn inward until pinched in two

o Plant cells: cell plate forms halfway between

5.5 Meiosis

Meiosis: Process in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of

homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell.

• ___________________________________________________

• Without meiosis, the number of chromosomes would double in each generation

Stages Meiosis I:

1. Prophase I: Each pair of homologous chromosomes pair up

o Chromosomes form a tetrad: _______________________

o Crossing-over: Homologous chromosomes exchange sections of DNA, producing new

combinations of alleles.

2. Metaphase I: Paired homologous chromosomes line up on the equator of the cell.

15

3. Anaphase I: Spindle fibers pull chromosomes toward opposite ends of the cell

o ________________________________

4. Telophase and Cytokinesis: Nuclear membrane forms around each cluster of chromosomes.

Cytokinesis follows.

o __________________________________

o Neither has a complete set of chromosomes

Stages Meiosis II:

• Prophase II: Chromosomes, consisting of two chromatids, become visible

o No tetrads, because they already separated.

• Metaphase II Cytokinesis: Similar to meiosis I

o ____________________________________

When two haploid cells combine, they form a zygote: the first cell of a unique individual
