of damaged cells, and • development from an embryo into an adult. 4 Figure 8.0-2 5 CELL DIVISION AND REPRODUCTION 6 8.1 Cell division plays many important roles in the lives of organisms • The ability of organisms to reproduce their own kind is a key characteristic of life. 7 8.1 Cell division plays many important roles in the lives of organisms • Cell division • is reproduction at the cellular level, • produces two identical “daughter” cells • duplication of chromosomes, 8 8.1 Cell division plays many important roles in the lives of organisms • Living organisms reproduce by two methods. • Asexual reproduction • offspring that are identical to the parent • inheritance of all genes from one parent. 9 8.1 Cell division plays many important roles in the lives of organisms 10 1 10 9 9 11 10

Eukaryotic cells • are more complex and larger • have more genes • store most of their genes on multiple chromosomes within the nucleus. • Each eukaryotic species has a characteristic number of chromosomes. 22 chromosomes. 20 8.3 The large, complex chromosomes of eukaryotes duplicate with each cell division 21 8.3 The large, complex chromosomes of eukaryotes duplicate with each cell division

prepare for division, the chromatin condenses, thus becoming visible in the microscope 23 8.3 The large, complex chromosomes of eukaryotes duplicate with each cell division 24 8.3 The large, complex chromosomes of eukaryotes duplicate with each cell division • Before cell division, cells duplicate all of their chromosomes sister chromatids. 25 26 • The sister chromatids are joined together at a narrowed “waist” called the centromere. • When a cell divides, the sister chromatids • separate from each other and are then called chromosomes, and • sort into separate daughter cells. 25 8.4 The cell cycle includes growing and division phases • The cell cycle is an ordered sequence of events that extends from the time a cell is first formed from a dividing parent cell until its own division. • Cytokinesis—division of cytoplasm 26 27 8.4 The cell cycle includes growing and division phases 28 8.5 Cell division is a continuum of dynamic changes • Mitosis progresses through a series of stages: • prophase, • metaphase, 27 29 27 29 28 • prophase, • metaphase, • anaphase, and • telophase. • organizing Cytokinesisregions often overlaps telophase. in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. 29

duplicate in the nucleus during the S phase. 30 33 Figure 8.5-1 31 34 8.5 Cell division is a continuum of dynamic changes • Prophase • In the nucleus, chromosomes become more tightly coiled and folded. • In the cytoplasm, the mitotic spindle begins to form as microtubules rapidly grow out from the centrosomes. 32 35 33 36 34 Figure 8.5-1 37 Figure 8.5-1 35 38 8.5 Cell division is a continuum of dynamic changes • Metaphase • The mitotic spindle is fully formed. • Chromosomes align at the cell equator. 36 39 37 40 8.5 Cell division is a continuum of dynamic changes • Prometaphase • The nuclear envelope breaks down • Microtubules extend from the centrosomes • Some spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores. • Other microtubules meet those from the opposite poles. 37 38 • The mitotic spindle is fully formed. • Chromosomes align at the cell equator. • Kinetochores of sister chromatids are facing the opposite poles of the spindle. 39 Figure 8.5-6 40 8.5 Cell division is a continuum of dynamic changes • Anaphase • Sister chromatids separate at the centromeres. • Daughter chromosomes are moved to opposite poles of the cell as motor proteins move the chromosomes along the spindle microtubules and kinetochore microtubules shorten. • Spindle microtubules not attached to chromosomes lengthen, moving the poles farther apart. • At the end of anaphase, the two ends of the cell have equal collections of chromosomes. 41 Figure 8.5-6 42 8.5 Cell division is a continuum of dynamic changes • Telophase • The cell continues to elongate. • The nuclear envelope forms around chromosomes at each pole, establishing daughter nuclei. • Chromatin uncoils. • The mitotic spindle disappears. 43 Figure 8.5-6 44 8.5 Cell division is a continuum of dynamic changes • During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm is divided into separate cells. • Cytokinesis usually occurs simultaneously with telophase. 45 8.6 Cytokinesis differs for plant and animal cells • In animal cells, cytokinesis occurs as 1. a cleavage furrow forms from a contracting ring of microfilaments, interacting with myosin, and 2. the cleavage furrow deepens to separate the contents into two cells. 46 47

density, and chemical growth factors affect cell division • The cells within an organism’s body divide and develop at different rates. • Cell division is controlled by • anchorage dependence, the need for cells to be in contact with a solid surface to divide, • density-dependent inhibition, in which crowded cells stop dividing, • the presence of essential nutrients, and • growth factors, proteins that stimulate division. 51 52 48 49 53 50 51 54 52 Figure 8.7a 53 8.8 Growth factors signal the cell cycle control system • The cell cycle control system is a cycling set of molecules in the cell

normal tissue. • Benign tumors remain at the original site but may disrupt certain organs if they grow in size. • Malignant tumors can spread to other locations in a process called metastasis. • An individual with a malignant tumor is said to have cancer. 60 Figure 8.9 61 Concept Check • What role(s) does cell division play in your own body? a)Production of gametes b)Growth c)Repair and

• One of the first human cell lines to survive indefinitely was that derived from a cancer patient who died in 1951. Known as the HeLa line for Henrietta Lacks, the cell line continues today in laboratories throughout the world and is even available for high school classrooms to study karyotyping. In 1951, people didn’t fully realize the potential applications of unique cells or DNA. Do you think that a patient should retain all rights to their cells or DNA Table 8.10 during medical procedures? 73 77 MEIOSIS AND CROSSING OVER 78 8.11 Chromosomes are matched in homologous pairs • In humans, somatic cells have 46 chromosomes forming 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes. 79 8.11 Chromosomes are matched in homologous pairs • Homologous chromosomes are matched in 74 80 81 78 82 89 79 80 91 85 83 84 86 80 81 92 82 90 93 87 81 8.11 Chromosomes are matched in homologous pairs • Homologous chromosomes are matched in • length, • centromere position, and • staining pattern. • A locus (plural, loci) is the position of a gene. 8.11 Chromosomes are matched in homologous pairs • The human sex chromosomes X and Y differ in size and genetic composition. • The other 22 pairs of chromosomes are autosomes with the same size and genetic composition.

This may be because of • the small size of the Y chromosome or • X chromosome inactivation. 137 138 139 137 140 • the small size of the Y chromosome or • X chromosome inactivation. 8.21 CONNECTION: Abnormal numbers of sex chromosomes do not usually affect survival • The following table lists the most common human sex chromosome abnormalities. In general, • a single Y chromosome is enough to produce “maleness,” even in combination with several X chromosomes, and • the absence of a Y chromosome yields “femaleness.” 138 8.21 Abnormal numbers of sex chromosomes do not usually affect survival 139 8.23 Alterations of chromosome structure can cause birth defects and cancer • Chromosome breakage can lead to rearrangements that can produce genetic disorders or, if changes occur in somatic cells, cancer. 141 140 142 8.23 Alterations of chromosome can lead to four types of changes in chromosome structure 1. A deletion is the loss of a chromosome segment. 2. A duplication is the repeat of a chromosome segment. 3. An inversion is the reversal of a chromosome segment. 4. A translocation is the attachment of a segment to a nonhomologous chromosome. A translocation may be reciprocal. 141 8.23 CONNECTION: Alterations of chromosome structure can cause birth defects and cancer • Inversions are less likely than deletions or duplications to produce harmful effects, because in inversions all genes are still present in their normal number. • Many deletions cause serious physical or mental problems. • to Translocations or may notusually be harmful. somatic cells,may cancer is not inherited. 142 143 Figure 8.23a-0 144 Figure 8.23b 145 You should now be able to 1.
