Cellular Reproduction
How to preserve genetic information.
When and why do cells divide?
• Cells divide when there is a chemical signal to do so.
• Skin cells may divide in response to crowding.
Certain cells send out a chemical signal that tells
neighboring cells to divide.
• Cells may divide in response to an injury, to mend
damaged tissue.
• Growth factors can signal cell division in children to
lengthen bones and add other tissues.
Specialized cell membrane proteins signal cell division
when growth factors are present.
Growth factor
binds to receptor
and stimulates
cyclin synthesis.

Mitosis
• One-celled eukaryotic organisms, and
individual cells in a multi-cellular
organisms, reproduce by mitosis
followed by cytokinesis.
The problem
Eukaryotic cells are
often diploid: that
is, they have two of
each kind of
chromosome.
• Why do eukaryotic cells have TWO of
each chromosome?
• If a cell with two of each chromosome
divides, how many chromosomes should
end up in each of the two daughter
cells?

Overview of Mitosis
• After DNA is replicated, it is condensed
into chromosomes and identical copies are
sorted in the process of mitosis.
• Mitosis assures that the two daughter cells
have exactly the same DNA.
Warning: Confusing terminology ahead!

Prior to Mitosis, DNA is replicated during the S-phase of
the cell cycle.
Chromosomes appear late in G2 phase, just prior to mitosis.

Homologous chromosomes are those that carry the same

dominant or recessive versions of a gene). Homologous
chromosomes do not pair together. Chromosomes only
pair with their identical sister chromatids.

finished sorting the
chromosomes,
cytokinesis takes
place, dividing the cell
into two new cells.
INTERPHASE

cell was diploid (two
copies of each
chromosome). After

Meiosis
• Meiosis is cell division that involves the
reduction of chromosomes in a cell.
The problem:
• When diploid organisms reproduce
sexually, two cells must fuse and share
genetic information.
• The end result of sexual reproduction is
a new diploid organism that has genetic
information from both parents.

The cells from the parents must be haploid if their offspring

While diploid cells hold two copies of each chromosome
(one from each parent), haploid sex cells hold one copy
of each chromosome.

Meiosis is reduction

diploid cell and
produces haploid cells.

End
The result of meiosis is
four haploid cells. Each
has one copy of each
chromosome, which may
carry different versions of
the same genes. Each
gamete (sex cell) can
have different genetic
information.
In prophase I of meiosis:
1. Sister chromatids
pair up.
2. Homologous
chromatids pair up.
3. Homologous
chromosomes pair
up.
4. Nothing pairs up.

Recap
• Mitosis divides one diploid cell and
produces two diploid daughter cells. It is
cell division used for growth and cell
replacement.
• Meiosis divides one diploid cell into four
haploid cells. It is used in reproduction.
