1.3 Cell Division
Where do cells come from?All cells come from other cells in order for this to happen, cells must divide
Why is cell division important?1. Growth
cells must divide in order to maintain a high surface area
allows for many access points for nutrients to enter & wastes (CO2) to leave the cell
the distance from the nucleus to all parts of the cell must be kept small so messages can be relayed quickly
2. Repair dead cells need to be replaced
3. Reproduction unicellular organisms can create 2 organisms multicellular organisms can repair & grow
The Cell Cycle
Cells alternate between stages of growth and division growth = interphase division = mitosis
Most of a cell’s life is spent in interphase
Only a small portion of its cycle is cell division, aka mitosis (& cytokinesis)
Mitosis The process where
(the nucleus of) new cells form from other cells
Two exact copies (of the nucleus) are made by doubling one cell’s genetic material (DNA)
pronounced my-TOE-sis
Cell Division process where one
(parent) cell divides to make two (daughter) cells
in multicellular organisms like humans, this is:how a fertilized egg
becomes an adult with trillions of cells
how we replace damaged cells
Let’s review…
(just a little)
Limiting Cell Size a cell can’t get too big or it will not have enough
surface area for the passage of: nutrients it needs in the cell (O2, H2O, Na1+, Ca2+, …)
wastes it produces out of the cell (CO2, H2O, K1+, …)
this is why when cells get to be a certain size, they must divide to survive!
The greater the surface area, the easier it is for a cell to function
The bottom line:
Cells must divide in order to remain small so:messages can be
transmitted quicklydiffusion (of nutrients)
can get happen quicklywastes can be sent out
of the cell quickly
mitosis = the division of a cell’s nucleus into two equal parts
cytokinesis = the division of the cytoplasm & the rest of the cell’s organelles to form 2 daughter cells
happens after mitosis
So, what do mitosis & cytokinesis really mean?
The Cell Cycle
What happens during interphase?
1. Cell grows
2. DNA doubles parent cell must make a copy of its genetic info
before it divides so that each daughter cell will get a complete set of chromosomes
chromosomes, which are normally thin thread-like structures, thicken
each chromosome is duplicated, making sister chromatids
chromatid = thickened, duplicated chromosomes
chromatin = term used to describe thin, thread-like chromosomes
DNA replication
The 4 phases of mitosis: PMAT
Remember, mitosis actually involves just the nucleus contents of the
nucleus double the nucleus divides
into two equal parts
4 phases: 1. Prophase 2. Metaphase 3. Anaphase 4. Telophase
Sister chromosomes coil & condense Chromosomes become visible (now officially called chromatids)
Membrane around the nucleus dissolves Nucleolus disappears Organelles called centrosomes head to opposite
ends of the cell & begin to form structures called spindle fibres (which help with cell division)
Phase 1: Prophase
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell Spindle fibres are completely formed and stretch
from one side of the cell to the other Chromosomes attach to spindle fibres, special
structures that help chromosomes move
Phase 2: Metaphase
Sister chromosomes split (at the middle, called the centromere)
Chromosome pairs (sisters) separate and move to opposite ends of the cell spindle fibres help this process
Phase 3: Anaphase
Chromosomes reach opposite ends of the cell Membranes begin to form around each set of
daughter cells’ nuclear material Nucleolus begins to appear in each cell Chromosomes become less coiled and harder to
see (return to chromatin form) Spindle fibres disappear Cytokinesis begins
Phase 4: Telophase
Cytoplasm & cell organelles divide into two equal parts
Two daughter cells are formed
Cytokinesis
Sooo… let’s recap
Mnemonic to remember the stages of cell division:
IPMATC (ip-MAT-see)
Sexual vs. Asexual Reproduction:
What’s the diff, anyway? Asexual reproduction involves one organism
the parent cell makes 2 daughter cells that are identical to the parent
aka cloning body cells & single-celled organisms reproduce this
way Sexual reproduction involves two organisms
two parent cells (sperm & egg) create 1 daughter cell the offspring receives half of its genes from each
parent daughter cell is 50% mom, 50% dad
Asexual Reproduction
Cell division is an example of asexual reproduction
Sexual Reproduction
haploid = 23 chromosomes
diploid = 2 x 23 chromosomes
meiosis = cell division of sex cells
Mitosis & cytokinesis are only a fraction of the cell
cycle!
Quiz time!i. Identify which number
represents the following stages of cell division:
a) interphaseb) prophasec) metaphased) anaphasee) telophasef) cytokinesis
ii. Identify the following structures:• parent cell• daughter cells• nucleus (3x)• sister chromatids (3x)• spindle fibres (4x)• centrosomes (at least 3x)
