The Cell Division Cycle
Alena Prašnická
Cell division
“Where a cell arises, there must be a previous cell, just as animals can only arise
from animals and plants from plants.”
◦ Rudolf Virchow in 1858
reproduction of cells is carried out as the sequence of reactions in which the cell
duplicates its contents and divides into two cells - cell cycle
Cell division
Unicellular organism
• production of a complete new organism
Multicellular organism
• reproduction of individuals
• embryonic development of the individuals
• repair processes
Cell cycle
basic function: duplicate accurately the amount of DNA in the
chromosomes and distribute the copies into genetically
identical daughter cells
• duration of the cell cycle varies greatly from one cell type to
another
Cell division in bacteria
• one circular chromosome is
attached to the plasma membrane
Binary Fission
• DNA replication
• cell growth after doubling
the size - simple division

lular-biology/cell-division/binary-fission
Cell division – eucaryotic cell
more complicated then cell division in bacteria
• genetic information in nucleus
• cytoskeleton
• organelles
Chromosomes
• a threadlike linear strand of DNA and associated proteins
in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells that carries the genes
and functions in the transmission of hereditary
information
components:
• DNA
• acidic and basic protein
Human - 46 chromosomes
• 2 sets of 23 chromosomes
• 22 pairs of autosomes (homologous chromosomes) and 2
sex chromosomes (X and Y)
Chromosomes
the structure varies according to the phase of cycle - metaphase
chromosome
http://www.elu.sgul.ac.uk/rehash/guest/scorm/53/package/content/metaphase.htm
Cell cycle
4 phases
G1 phase
S phase
G2 phase
M phase
• Mitosis
• Cytokinesis
period between one M phase and the next one
• interphase
Cell cycle
G1 phase
• from the english word gap – G phase
• the first preparing phase
• 30-40% of the cell cycle time
Cell cycle
G1 phase
• cell grows in size and synthesizes:
RNA, proteins
nucleotides
enzymes for replication
organelles
mitochondia, chloroplasts, centriols
ER, GA – fragmentation : distribution of organelles fragments
forming organelles in the daughter cells
GO phase
Cell cycle
S phase
• synthetic phase
• nuclear DNA replication
• 30-50% of the cell cycle time
Cell cycle
DNA replication (duplication of DNA)
semi-conservative
Cell cycle
DNA replication (duplication of DNA)
DNA synthesis begins at replication origin
• binding of initiator protein
• unwinding of DNA
• binding other components of the replication complex
DNA polymerase
Cell cycle
Procaryotic cell
• circular DNA
• one replication origin
Cell cycle
S phase
synthesis of histones
• simultaneously with the DNA synthesis
• formation of nucleosomes and chromatin
• in replicated DNA – histones
• Centriols - Procentriols
Cell cycle
G2 phase
• the second preparing phase
• 10-20% of the cell cycle time
• cell continue in growing
• synthesis of RNA, protein
preparing for mitotic cell division
Cell cycle
M phase
• the last phase of the cell cycle
• 5-10% of cell cycle time
• chromosomes are replicated - sister
chromatids
• cell organelles are multiplicated
cell is prepared for mitotic cell division
Cell cycle
M phase
• mitosis
• cytokinesis
Mitosis
Převzato a upraveno: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitosis
Mitosis
Prophase
• chromatin condensation
• formation of the mitotic spindle
• formation of interpolar microtubules
Mitosis
Mitosis
Prometaphase
• disassembling of the nuclear envelope
• attached to them through specialized
protein complexes – kinetochores
Mitosis
https://slideplayer.cz/slide/2588156/
Mitosis
Metaphase
• alignment of chromosomes in the equator of the
spindle (halfway between two spindle poles) -
metaphase plate
movement of chromosomes
• continual growth and shrinkage of the microtubules
– dynamic instability
• microtubule motor proteins
https://slideplayer.cz/slide/2588156/
Mitosis
Mitosis
Anaphase
• segregation of chromosomes - two identical sets of chromosomes
Anaphase A – shortening of kinetochore tubules
Anaphase B – spindle poles move apart
Mitosis
Mitosis
Telophase
• nuclear envelope reassembles around each group of
chromosomes
two daughter nuclei
decondensation of chromosomes - gene transcription can
start again
https://slideplayer.cz/slide/2588156/
Mitosis
Cytokinesis
• the cytoplasm is cleaved in two
• begins in anaphase but is not completed until the two
daughter nuclei have formed in telophase
Plant cell X Animal cell
Cytokinesis – animal cell
Cytokinesis – animal cell
during anaphase is formed cleavage furrow
• vertical to the axis of the mitotic spindle
• formed between the two groups of daughter
chromosomes
contractile ring
• composed mainly of actin filaments and myosin filaments
• divides cell into two daugther cells
Cytokinesis – animal cell
symmetric cytokinesis = symmetric division of cytoplasm together with
organelles
• distribution of organelles – random
Cytokinesis – plant cell
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6hn3sA0ip0&list=UUcSThfV7yiW9I5hXBnEk9Zg
Cytokinesis – plant cell
plant cell – cell wall
• new cell wall starts to assemble in the cytoplasm between the
two sets of segregated chromosomes at the start of telophase
Phragmoplast - a structure that is formed in the equator of the
old mitotic spindle
• along microtubules are transported vesicles carrying material
for the wall
derived from the Golgi apparatus
carry polysaccharides, glycoproteins
• grows from the center towards the cell surface
Meiosis
• type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by
half and produces four gamete cells
• meiosis begins in specialized diploid germ-line cells in the ovaries or testes
these cells contain two copies of each chromosome, one inherited from the father organism (the
paternal homolog) and one from mother (the maternal homolog) – homologous chromosomes
Gamete cell - haploid cell n – single set of chromosomes
Somatic cell - diploid cell 2n – two sets of chromosomes, one from the mother and the
other from the father
Meiosis
• one DNA replication is followed by two rounds of cell division to produce four
daughter cells
two successive cell divisions
• first meiotic division – meiosis I
• second meiotic division – meiosis II
Meiosis
Meiosis I
Prophase
• takes place in the nucleus with an intact membrane – only
chromosomes undergo changes
5 phases
◦ Leptotene
◦ Zygotene
◦ Pachytene
◦ Diplotene
◦ Diakinesis
Meiosis
Leptotene
• chromosomes condense
• sister chromatids - tightly bound and
indistinguishable from one another
Zygotene
• pairing of homologous chromosomes
– bivalent
• contains 4 chromatides
• chromatids are associated by synaptonemal complex
Meiosis
Pachytene
• bivalent consists of four sister chromatids
nonsister chromatids of homologous chromosomes may exchange segments -
Crossing-over
• multienzyme systems responsible for chromatid recombination – in
synaptonemal complex
Meiosis
Crossing over
nonsister chromatid exchange sections
• chiasma - connection that corresponds to a
crossover between two non-sister chromatids
• many bivalents contain more than one
chiasma - multiple crossovers
Meiosis
Diplotene
• degradation of synaptonemal complex and partial
separation of homologous chromosomes
Diakinesis
• nuclear envelope begins to disappear
• centrosomes are moving towards the poles of the cell
Meiosis
Meiosis I
Metaphase
• bivalents are moved to the equator
• centromeres of chromosomes are randomly oriented to one or the other pole
of cells
• kinetochore microtubules connect bivalents to centromeres (spindle poles)
Meiosis
Meiosis I
Anaphase
• segregation of homologous chromosomes - destrucion of bivalents
• complete set of chromosomes formed by recombination from the original
maternal and paternal chromosomes gets to each pole of the cell
Meiosis
Meiosis
Meiosis I
Telophase
• finish the division of nucleus and cytokinesis
Meiosis
Meiosis II
• occurs without further DNA replication and without
any significant interphase period
4 haploid cells
Meiosis and
mitosis
Cellular differentiation
• multicellular organisms consist of cells structurally and
functionally different
• the process of specialization - differentiation
Cellular differentiation
genetic basis of differentiation
• all cells have same genetic background – genetic
information for all types of differentiated cells is in
zygote
Cellular differentiation
levels of differentiation
molecular - plasma membranes of various differentiated cells
contain different receptor proteins - enabling different
answers
enzyme - production of specific metabolites - specific
metabolic pathways
morphological - changes in the shape and structure of cells
• may lead to the elimination of vital structures - Erythrocytes
• cell loses its ability to divide - terminal differentiation
Stem cells
Cellular differentiation
irreversibility of differentiation ??
• dedifferentiation in plants - a plant callus can evolve whole
plant
• partial dedifferentiation - tissue regeneration
the subject of intense research
