CONNECTIONS BETWEEN CELL DIVISION AND
REPRODUCTION
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
◦ Living organisms reproduce by two methods
– Asexual reproduction– Offspring are identical to the original cell or organism– Involves inheritance of all genes from one parent
– Sexual reproduction– Offspring are similar to parents, but show variations in
traits– Involves inheritance of unique sets of genes from two
parents
◦ What drives reproduction??? Cell division
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
◦ Binary fission- “dividing in half”
– Two identical cells arise from one cell

Two options:
– Mitosis: two genetically identical cells, with the same chromosome number as the original cell
– Meiosis: four genetically different cells, with half the chromosome number of the original cell

◦ Eukaryotic chromosomes are composed of chromatin
– Chromatin = DNA + proteins
– Early in the division process, chromosomes duplicate (sister chromatids)
– Sister chromatids are joined at centromere

MITOSIS:CELL “CLONING”
◦ The cell cycle is an ordered sequence of events for cell division
◦ It consists of two stages– Interphase: duplication of cell contents
– G1—growth, increase in cytoplasm– S—duplication of chromosomes– G2—growth, preparation for division
– Mitotic phase: division – Mitosis—division of the nucleus– Cytokinesis—division of cytoplasm

◦ A mitotic spindle is required to divide the chromosomes
– The mitotic spindle is composed of ____________
– It is produced by centrosomes

◦ Cytokinesis
– Cytoplasm is divided into separate cells
***Applying Your Knowledge
By the end of cytokinesis – How many chromosomes are present in one human
cell?– How many chromatids are present in one human
cell?
The final mitosis: The final mitosis: CytokinesisCytokinesis

TELOPHASE AND CYTOKINESIS
Let’s review Let’s review mitosismitosis

◦ Mitosis produces genetically identical cells for
– Growth– Replacement– Asexual reproduction
◦ Factors that control cell division
– Presence of essential nutrients
– Growth factors, proteins that stimulate division
– Presence of other cells causes density-dependent inhibition
– Contact with a solid surface; most cells show anchorage dependence

Culture of cells
Addition ofgrowthfactor
Cells anchor todish surfaceand divide.
When cells haveformed a completesingle layer, theystop dividing (density-dependent inhibition).
If some cells arescraped away, theremaining cells divideto fill the dish with asingle layer and thenstop (density-dependent inhibition).
◦ Cell cycle control system– A set of molecules, including growth factors,
that triggers and coordinates events of the cell cycle
◦ Checkpoints – Control points where signals regulate the cell
cycle– G1 checkpoint allows entry into the S phase or
causes the cell to leave the cycle, entering a nondividing G0 phase
– G2 checkpoint
– M checkpoint

Why do we need to control cell Why do we need to control cell division?division?
– All cancers are genetic at their origin
– They divide rapidly, often in the absence of growth factors
– They often do not have density-dependent inhibition
– They are “immortal”

◦ Classification of cancer by origin
– Carcinomas arise in external or internal body coverings
– Sarcomas arise in supportive and connective tissue
– Leukemias and lymphomas arise from blood-forming tissues

◦ Types– Benign tumors remain at the original site
– Malignant tumors spread to other locations by metastasis
Cancer Cancer terminologyterminology
A tumor grows from asingle cancer cell.
