Cell Reproduction
1
ChromosomesRemember that DNA is a long thin molecule that stores genetic information. The DNA in a human cell is estimated to consist of 3 billion pairs of nucleotides.
2
To visualize the size of 3 billion pairs of nucleotides, imagine increasing a cell nucleus to the size of a basketball. Then imagine taking the DNA out of the basketball-sized nucleus and stretching it into a straight line. That line of DNA would stretch for 64 km!

Chromosome structure
During cell division, DNA coiled into chromosomesDNA wraps around proteins called histonesHelp maintain shape of chromosome
Nonhistones - involved in controlling activity of specific regions of DNA
5
6
Notice each chromosome made of two identical halvesEach half is called a chromatidConstricted area in center is centromere
7
Between cell divisions, DNA not so tightly coiled into chromosomesParts of DNA uncoil so they can be read and information can be used to direct activities of cellLess tightly coiled DNA is called chromatin
8
Prokaryote and Eukaryote
Prokaryotic DNA much simpler than eukaryotic DNA
Single loopOne or two chromosomes
9
10
Chromosome numbers
Each species has characteristic number of chromosomes
11
Sex chromosomes and autosomes
Human and animal chromosomes categorized as:Sex chromosomes - determine genderX and Y
12
Autosomes - All other chromosomes
13
Every cell has two copies of each autosomeHomologous chromosomesHave same genes
Karyotype - photograph of chromosomes
14
15
Diploid and Haploid Cells
Diploid - cells having two sets of chromosomesHave both homologous chromosomesAll cells but sperm and eggCalled 2n
16
Haploid - only one set of chromosomesSperm and egg cells1n
17
Cell Division
18
Approximately 2 trillion cells – – are produced by an adult human body every day. about 25 million cells per secondAll cells come from the division of preexisting cells Cell division (cell reproduction) is the process by which cells produce offspring cells
19
Cell division differs in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. But cell reproduction in both produces the same result – two cells from one.
20
Cell Division in Prokaryotes
Binary fission - division of prokaryotic cell into two offspring cells1. Chromosome copies itself, resulting in two identical chromosomes
21
22
2. Cell grows until it is twice the original size3. Cell wall forms in middle, splits the two cells
23
Cell Division in Eukaryotes
Both cytoplasm and nucleus divideTwo typesMitosis - new cells with genetic material identical to parent cellAsexual reproduction – production of offspring from one parentReproduction of unicellular organismsAddition of cells to tissue or organ in muticellular
24
Meiosis - reduces chromosome number by halfEach new cell genetically different than parentthis is sexual reproduction - results in genetic variationFormation of gametes – egg and sperm
25
The Cell CycleCell cycle - repeating set of events that make up life of cell
26
27
Interphase - time between divisions
28
29
Cell division has two phasesMitosis – division of nucleusCytokinesis – division of cytoplasm
Interphase3 stages1. G1 phase - offspring grow to mature size2. S phase - DNA is copied3. G2 phase - cell prepares to divideCells can exit cell cycle and enter Go phaseCells do not copy DNA, do not divide

Mitosis
Division of nucleus4 phasesProphaseMetaphaseAnaphase 32
33
Prophase
DNA coils into chromosomesNucleus starts to disappearCentrosomes (2 dark spots) appearIn animal cells, they contain centrioles, cylindrical 34
Centrosomes move to opposite endsSpindle fibers made of microtubules radiate from centrosomesCalled mitotic spindleMade of kinetochore fibers and polar fibers
35
spindle fibers attach to a structure on each chromatid called a kinetochorekinetochores are part of the centromere
36
37
MetaphaseKinetochore fibers move chromosomes to center of cellOnce in center, chromosomes are held in place by kinetochore fibers
38
where the chromosomes line up in the middle is called the metaphase
39
40
AnaphaseChromatids separate at centromereMove, centromere first, to opposite ends
41
TelophaseAfter chromosomes reach opposite ends, spindle fibers disassemble Chromosomes uncoil slightlyNuclear envelope forms around each set of chromosomes
42
43
44
Cytokinesis
Division of cytoplasm
Different in animal cells and plant cells
45
Animal cells - cleavage furrow forms
46
Plant cells - cell plate forms
47
Cytokinesis in Animal Cells
Cell membrane pinches inward between the two dividing cellsCleavage furrow eventually splits the two cellsAction of microfilaments
48
Cytokinesis in Plant Cells
Vesicles formed by Golgi apparatus fuse at midline of dividing cellForms cell plate
Cell plate separates two cells
49
Control of Cell Division
Cell spends most time in interphaseWhat triggers cell to leave interphase and start dividing?
50
51
In eukaryotes proteins regulate progress of cell division at certain checkpointsCertain feedback signals from cell can make proteins start next phase of cell cycleThree main checkpoints
1. Cell growth (G1) checkpoint
Proteins control whether the cell will divideIf cell healthy and is big enough proteins will initiate S phaseCell copies DNA 52
If conditions not favorable, cell cycle will stopWill also stop if cell needs rest periodCertain cells enter G0 at this point
53
2. DNA synthesis (G2) checkpoint
DNA repair enzymes check results of DNA replicationIf passed, proteins signal cell to start molecular processes that allow cell to enter mitosis
54
3. Mitosis checkpoint
If cell passes, proteins signal cell to exit mitosisCell enters G1 phase again
55
When control is lost: cancer
Proteins that regulate cell division are coded for by genesIf mutation happens in genes, proteins may not function properly
56
Cell growth and division may be disruptedDisruption can lead to cancer – uncontrolled growth of cells
57
Cancer cells do not respond normally to control mechanismsCan overproduce growth-promoting moleculesIncreased cell divisionMay interfere with control proteins that slow or stop cell cycle

60
Meiosis is a process of nuclear division that reduces the number of chromosomes in new cells to half the number in the original number
61
The halving of the chromosome number counteracts a fusion of cells later in the life cycle of the organism
62
For example, in humans, meiosis produces haploid reproductive cells called gametes. Human gametes are sperm cells and egg cells, each of which contains 23 (1n) chromosomes
63
The fusion of a sperm and an egg results in a zygote that contains 46 (2n) chromosomes
64
Formation of haploid cells
In animals meiosis produces gametes – haploid reproductive cellsSperm and egg cells each have 23 (1n) chromosomesFusion of sperm and egg results in zygote that contains 46 (2n) chromosomes
65
Cells preparing for meiosis undergo G1, S, and G2 of interphaseDuring interphase cell grows to mature size and copies DNA
66
Cells start with duplicate set of chromosomes (just like mitosis)Cells in meiosis go through TWO divisions
67
Meiosis ISame stages as mitosisProphase IMetaphase IAnaphase ITelophase I
68
Prophase ISignificant different than prophase of mitosis
69
70
Homologous chromosomes line up next to each other - synapsis
Twist around each other, which may exchange portions of genetic material this results in crossing overcrossing over results in Genetic recombination - provide genetic variety in species
71
Metaphase ITetrads (pairs of homologous chromosomes) line up at centerLining up is RANDOMSpindle fibers attach to each of the pair
72
Anaphase IEach homologous chromosome (made of two chromatids) moves to opposite endsSeparation is RANDOM independent assortmentRandom separation of maternal and paternal chromosomesGenetic variation 73
Telophase IChromosomes reach opposite endsCytokinesis beginsEach new cell is haploid (only half the number of chromosomes)
74
BUT each has two copies of chromosomeDNA copied before during S phase
75
Meiosis IIDNA NOT copied before Prophase II
76
77
Formation of Gametes
In animals, meiosis produces gametesEgg and sperm
Only happens in reproductive organsOvaries and testes
78
SpermatogenesisDiploid reproductive cell divides to make 4 haploid cells called spermatidsEach spermatid develops into a mature sperm cell
79
OogenesisDiploid reproductive cell divides to produce 1 mature egg cell (ovum) and 3 polar bodies (waste)Because mature egg cell needs most of the cytoplasmPolar bodies degenerate
80
81
Asexual Reproduction
Production of offspring from 1 parentDoes not involve meiosis or union of gametesUnicellular organisms - by binary fission or mitosisOffspring genetically identical to parent
82
Sexual reproduction
Production of offspring through meiosis and union of sperm and eggOffspring genetically different than parents
83
Evolutionary advantage: enables species to adapt quickly to new conditionsDisease hits - some individuals may be resistant, survive to reproduce
