Entry 23: Mitosis- 3/19/12

Answer the following questions:

1.Why would a cell need to copy its DNA?

2.DNA is in the nucleus and doesn’t leave it. If both new cells need DNA how could this problem be solved?

3.Once DNA is copied, how could you make sure that exactly half goes in one cell and exactly half in the other cell?

4.If a cell divides into two cells, why don’t cells get smaller and smaller with each division?

5.How could two new cells be made from one original cell?

Biology is the only subject in which multiplication is the same thing as division…

Where it all began…

You started as a cell smaller than a period at the end of a sentence…

Regents Biology

And now look at you…

How did you get from there to here?

Regents Biology

Going from egg to baby…. the original fertilized egg has to divide…

and divide…and divide…

and divide…

Getting from there to here…

Regents Biology

Why do cells divide… For growth & development

from fertilized egg to multi-celled

organism

For repair replace cells that die from

normal wear & tear or from injury

for reproduction Transmit genetic information to later

generations (meiosis) We will study this later.

Dividing cells… What has to be copied

DNA organelles cell membrane lots of other

molecules enzymes

animal cellplant cell

nucleus

chromosome

In the cell, DNA forms structures called chromosomes

• A eukaryotic chromosome is typically a very long, single chain of DNA

Chromosomes of Human Female

46 chromosomes23 pairs

Chromosomes of Human Male

46 chromosomes23 pairs

chromosome

• A gene is a region of the chromosome which contains information for making a protein

gene

• A chromosome has thousands of genes

Mitosis• Produces two identical daughter cells• Each daughter cell has the same kind and

number of chromosomes as the original parent cell

• Mitosis takes place after DNA replication.

Mitosis: Dividing DNA & cells Stage 2: DNA winds into chromosomes

DNA is wound up into chromosomes to keep it organized

Regents Biology

Mitosis: Dividing DNA & cells Stage 3: Chromosomes line up

chromosomes line up in middle attached to protein “cables” that will

help them move

duplicated chromosomeslined up in middle of cell

Line up!

(metaphase)

Regents Biology

Mitosis: Dividing DNA & cells Stage 4: Chromosomes separate

chromosomes split, separating pairs start moving to opposite ends

chromosomes split & move to opposite ends

Separate!

(anaphase)

Regents Biology

Mitosis: Dividing DNA & cells Stage 5: Cell starts to divide

cells start to divide nucleus forms again

Divide!

(telophase)

Regents Biology

Mitosis: Dividing DNA & cells Stage 6: DNA unwinds again

cells separate now they can do their every day jobs

(cytokinesis)

Regents Biology

New “daughter” cells Get 2 exact copies of original cells

same DNA “clones”

Can you identify the different stages of mitosis from the diagram below?

ABNORMAL CELL DIVISION• Sometimes cells cannot stop

dividing and they go through uncontrolled cell division becoming cancerous cells or tumors.

• Uncontrolled cell division in white blood cells causes leukemia.
