1 Overview: The Key Roles of Cell Division
The ability of organisms to reproduce best distinguishes living things from nonliving matter The continuity of life is based on the reproduction of cells, or cell division Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

5 Concept 12.1: Cell division results in genetically identical daughter cells
Most cell division results in daughter cells with identical genetic information, DNA A special type of division produces nonidentical daughter cells (gametes, or sperm and egg cells) Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

6 Cellular Organization of the Genetic Material
All the DNA in a cell constitutes the cell’s genome A genome can consist of a single DNA molecule (common in prokaryotic cells) or a number of DNA molecules (common in eukaryotic cells) DNA molecules in a cell are packaged into chromosomes Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

7 Fig. 12-3 Figure 12.3 Eukaryotic chromosomes 20 µm

8 Somatic cells (nonreproductive cells) have two sets of chromosomes
Every eukaryotic species has a characteristic number of chromosomes in each cell nucleus Somatic cells (nonreproductive cells) have two sets of chromosomes Gametes (reproductive cells: sperm and eggs) have half as many chromosomes as somatic cells Eukaryotic chromosomes consist of chromatin, a complex of DNA and protein that condenses during cell division Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

9 Distribution of Chromosomes During Eukaryotic Cell Division
In preparation for cell division, DNA is replicated and the chromosomes condense Each duplicated chromosome has two sister chromatids, which separate during cell division The centromere is the narrow “waist” of the duplicated chromosome, where the two chromatids are most closely attached Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

11 Eukaryotic cell division consists of:
Mitosis, the division of the nucleus Cytokinesis, the division of the cytoplasm Gametes are produced by a variation of cell division called meiosis Meiosis yields nonidentical daughter cells that have only one set of chromosomes, half as many as the parent cell Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

12 Concept 12.2: The mitotic phase alternates with interphase in the cell cycle
In 1882, the German anatomist Walther Flemming developed dyes to observe chromosomes during mitosis and cytokinesis Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

13 Phases of the Cell Cycle
The cell cycle consists of Mitotic (M) phase (mitosis and cytokinesis) Interphase (cell growth and copying of chromosomes in preparation for cell division) Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

14 Interphase (about 90% of the cell cycle) can be divided into subphases:
G1 phase (“first gap”) S phase (“synthesis”) G2 phase (“second gap”) The cell grows during all three phases, but chromosomes are duplicated only during the S phase Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

15 S (DNA synthesis) G1 Cytokinesis G2 Mitosis
Fig. 12-5 INTERPHASE S (DNA synthesis) G1 Cytokinesis G2 Mitosis Figure 12.5 The cell cycle MITOTIC (M) PHASE

16 Mitosis is conventionally divided into five phases:

18 The Mitotic Spindle: A Closer Look
The mitotic spindle is an apparatus of microtubules that controls chromosome movement during mitosis During prophase, assembly of spindle microtubules begins in the centrosome, the microtubule organizing center The centrosome replicates, forming two centrosomes that migrate to opposite ends of the cell, as spindle microtubules grow out from them For the Cell Biology Video Spindle Formation During Mitosis, go to Animation and Video Files. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

19 An aster (a radial array of short microtubules) extends from each centrosome
The spindle includes the centrosomes, the spindle microtubules, and the asters Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

20 During prometaphase, some spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of chromosomes and begin to move the chromosomes At metaphase, the chromosomes are all lined up at the metaphase plate, the midway point between the spindle’s two poles Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

22 The microtubules shorten by depolymerizing at their kinetochore ends
In anaphase, sister chromatids separate and move along the kinetochore microtubules toward opposite ends of the cell The microtubules shorten by depolymerizing at their kinetochore ends For the Cell Biology Video Microtubules in Anaphase, go to Animation and Video Files.

25 Cytokinesis: A Closer Look
In animal cells, cytokinesis occurs by a process known as cleavage, forming a cleavage furrow In plant cells, a cell plate forms during cytokinesis Animation: Cytokinesis Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

29 Binary Fission Prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) reproduce by a type of cell division called binary fission In binary fission, the chromosome replicates (beginning at the origin of replication), and the two daughter chromosomes actively move apart Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

34 The Evolution of Mitosis
Since prokaryotes evolved before eukaryotes, mitosis probably evolved from binary fission Certain protists exhibit types of cell division that seem intermediate between binary fission and mitosis Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

38 The frequency of cell division varies with the type of cell
Concept 12.3: The eukaryotic cell cycle is regulated by a molecular control system The frequency of cell division varies with the type of cell These cell cycle differences result from regulation at the molecular level Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

39 Evidence for Cytoplasmic Signals
The cell cycle appears to be driven by specific chemical signals present in the cytoplasm Some evidence for this hypothesis comes from experiments in which cultured mammalian cells at different phases of the cell cycle were fused to form a single cell with two nuclei Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

40 EXPERIMENT RESULTS Experiment 1 Experiment 2 S G1 M G1 S S M M
Fig EXPERIMENT Experiment 1 Experiment 2 S G1 M G1 RESULTS S S M M When a cell in the S phase was fused with a cell in G1, the G1 nucleus immediately entered the S phase—DNA was synthesized. When a cell in the M phase was fused with a cell in G1, the G1 nucleus immediately began mitosis—a spindle formed and chromatin condensed, even though the chromosome had not been duplicated. Figure Do molecular signals in the cytoplasm regulate the cell cycle?

41 The Cell Cycle Control System
The sequential events of the cell cycle are directed by a distinct cell cycle control system, which is similar to a clock The cell cycle control system is regulated by both internal and external controls The clock has specific checkpoints where the cell cycle stops until a go-ahead signal is received Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

42 G1 checkpoint Control system S G1 G2 M M checkpoint G2 checkpoint
Fig G1 checkpoint Control system S G1 G2 M Figure Mechanical analogy for the cell cycle control system M checkpoint G2 checkpoint

43 For many cells, the G1 checkpoint seems to be the most important one
If a cell receives a go-ahead signal at the G1 checkpoint, it will usually complete the S, G2, and M phases and divide If the cell does not receive the go-ahead signal, it will exit the cycle, switching into a nondividing state called the G0 phase Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

44 G0 G1 G1 G1 checkpoint (b) Cell does not receive a go-ahead signal
Fig G0 G1 checkpoint Figure The G1 checkpoint G1 G1 Cell receives a go-ahead signal (b) Cell does not receive a go-ahead signal

45 The Cell Cycle Clock: Cyclins and Cyclin-Dependent Kinases
Two types of regulatory proteins are involved in cell cycle control: cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) The activity of cyclins and Cdks fluctuates during the cell cycle MPF (maturation-promoting factor) is a cyclin-Cdk complex that triggers a cell’s passage past the G2 checkpoint into the M phase Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

52 Stop and Go Signs: Internal and External Signals at the Checkpoints
An example of an internal signal is that kinetochores (centromeres) not attached to spindle microtubules send a molecular signal that delays anaphase Some external signals are growth factors, proteins released by certain cells that stimulate other cells to divide For example, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) stimulates the division of human fibroblast cells in culture Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

53 Scalpels Petri plate Without PDGF cells fail to divide With PDGF
Fig Scalpels Petri plate Without PDGF cells fail to divide Figure The effect of a growth factor on cell division With PDGF cells prolifer- ate Cultured fibroblasts 10 µm

54 Another example of external signals is density-dependent inhibition, in which crowded cells stop dividing Most animal cells also exhibit anchorage dependence, in which they must be attached to a substratum in order to divide Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

57 Loss of Cell Cycle Controls in Cancer Cells
Cancer cells do not respond normally to the body’s control mechanisms Cancer cells may not need growth factors to grow and divide: They may make their own growth factor They may convey a growth factor’s signal without the presence of the growth factor They may have an abnormal cell cycle control system Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

58 A normal cell is converted to a cancerous cell by a process called transformation
Cancer cells form tumors, masses of abnormal cells within otherwise normal tissue If abnormal cells remain at the original site, the lump is called a benign tumor Malignant tumors invade surrounding tissues and can metastasize, exporting cancer cells to other parts of the body, where they may form secondary tumors Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
