Cell Growth and Division
Purpose of the cell cycle which includes the mitosis:
-To produce new and identical body cells with identical copies of DNA.
-Example: 1 skin cell will divide into 2 new and identical skin cells
-All human body cells contain :46 chromosomes or pieces of DNA
-23 from your mom-23 from your dad
Mitosis produces body cells known as 2N or diploid cells.
Known as 2N or diploid because they contain 2 of every chromosome in each cell.
-one of each from your mother
-one of each from your dad
When a sperm with 23 chromosomes (1N)fertilizes an egg with 23 chromosomes (1N) it produces the first body cell, called the 2N zygotewhich has a total of 46 chromosomes.
Fertilization: 1N sperm unites with 1N egg creating a 2N zygote.
11 N egg is fertilized by a 1N sperm creating a 2N zygote or body cell.
Twin Formation
Identical twins: -1 sperm and 1 egg unit forming one zygote. -Zygote goes through mitosis creating two identical cells. -The two identical cells split apart and both form into a fetus/baby. -Babies must be of the same sex.
Fraternal twins: -2 separate sperm fertilize 2 separate eggs forming two separate zygotes. -Each zygote goes through mitosis creating 2 separate babies. -The two babies may be the same sex or of opposite sex.
DNA-DNA is our
genetic code-we inherit our DNA from
our parents
-DNA has the code for making all of our proteins which determine our traits.
Examples of human traits
1. DNA is located in the nucleus of every cell in a relaxed, uncondensed form known as chromatin.
2. DNA supercoils into chromatids the loops of tightly coiled DNA of a chromosome.
Chromosome: -1 piece of DNA
Gene: -1 segment of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a protein.
Allele: -a specific form of a gene
Allele:A specific form of a geneEach trait has 2 possible forms
Dominant form or allele:The overpowering form of a geneRepresented by a capital letter
Recessive form or allele:The weaker form of a geneRepresented by a lower case letter
2 alleles combine to determine a trait.
1 allele/gene from the sperm
1 allele/gene from the sperm
Phenotype:A physical trait that you can see
Examples: Red hair, blue eyes, etc…
Genotype:The genetic make up /gene or allele combination
Three types of genotypes:BB…..
Homozygous dominantBb……
Heterozygousbb…….
Homozygous recessive
Law of Dominance
Anytime a dominant allele is present the dominant trait will be seen, it overpowers the recessive allele.
Example:
Black fur is dominant ………… BWhite fur is recessive………… b

Purpose of the cell cycle which includes the mitosis:
Let us review:
To produce new and identical body cells with identical copies of DNA.
-Example: 1 skin cell will divide into 2 new and identical skin cells
One cell cycle is made up of:1. Interphase
Gap 1Synthesis phaseGap 2
2. Mitosis
ProphaseMetaphaseAnaphaseTelophase
3. Cytokinesis
DNA Replicates
Cell divides in half
Interphase• A. Occurs in three sub phases:
– Gap 1: Cell grows and matures from a daughter cell into a parent cell.
– S phase: DNA is replicates– Gap 2: New and needed organelles are formed
• B. DNA is in a loosely coiled, uncondensed from of chromatin.
• C. Two pairs of centrioles are present outside the nucleus.
Gap 0
Non dividing cells like nerve, brain and heart cells do not go through cell division.
Therefore, they remain in Interphase for their entire existence. This is referred to as Gap 0.
Interphase
Prophase• A. First phase of
mitosis.• B. Longest phase of
mitosis.• C. Sets the stage for
the rest of cell division.
Early prophase
• 1. Nucleus and nucleolus breakdown into their components of proteins, lipids and carbs.
• 2. Chromatin supercoils into chromatids.• 3. Centrioles pairs split apart and move to
opposite sides of the cell/the poles.• 4. Centrioles stretch spindle
fibers/microtubules across the cell.
Late prophase
Metaphase• A. Second phase of mitosis• B. Shortest phase of mitosis.
– 1. Replicated chromosomes move to the middle/equator of the cell.
- 2. Each chromosome attaches to its own spindle fiber using the centromere.
Metaphase
Anaphase• A. Third phase of mitosis• B. Replicated chromosomes split apart and
move away to opposite poles.
1.Sister chromatids split apart from each other.
2.One single, unreplicated copy of the chromosome is at each pole.
3.Spindle fibers break down.
ASTERS
Asters• End of spindle fibers at the pole• Push against cell membrane causing the cell to
elongate or get wider.
Anaphase
Telophase
• A. Final phase of mitosis• B. Exact opposite of prophase.
– 1. A nucleus reappears around each set of chromosomes at the poles
- 2. A nucleolus reappears in each nucleus.
- 3. Chromatid uncoils into chromatin.
Telophase
Cytokinesis
• A. One cell divides into two new identical daughter cells.
– Animal cells:• Cell membrane pinches together forming a cleavage
furrow.• Two ends eventually join separating the one cell into
two cells.
Plant cells: - The formation of a cell plate occurs. - The cell plate is a collection of sacks of cellulose that collect in the center of the cell. -The cell plate eventually matures into a cell wall.
Cytokinesis
End Result:One mature parent cell divides into two new and
genetically identical daughter cells.
Cell starts over…………………………hence the cell cycle.
