OVERVIEW OF THE CELL CYCLE
fatimaArivera
INTERPHASE
Interphase includes:
• G1 Phase:
• S Phase:
• G2 Phase:
INTERPHASE: G1 PHASE
fatimaArivera
• Recovery from previous
division
• Cell doubles its organelles
• Cell grows in size
• Accumulates raw materials
for DNAsynthesis (DNA
replication)
INTERPHASE: S PHASE
fatimaArivera
• DNA replication
• Proteins associated with DNA
are synthesized
INTERPHASE: G2 PHASE
fatimaArivera
• Between DNA replication and
onset of mitosis
• Cell synthesizes proteins
necessary for division
CELL CYCLE: MITOSIS PHASE
fatimaArivera
Mitosis phase includes:
• Mitosis (karyokinesis)
• Nuclear division
• Daughter chromosomes
distributed to two daughter
nuclei
• Cytokinesis
• Cytoplasm division
• Results in two genetically
identical daughter cells
CELL CYCLE: MITOSIS PHASE
fatimaArivera
SIGNIFICANCE OF MITOSIS
fatimaArivera
• Permits growth and repair.
• In plants it retains the ability to
divide throughout the life of the
plant
• In mammals, mitosis is necessary:
• Fertilized egg becomes an
embryo
• Embryo becomes a fetus
• Allows a cut to heal or a broken
bone to mend
• Chromatin condenses.
• Centrosomes separate,
moving to opposite ends
of the nucleus
• The centrosomes start to
form a framework used to
separate the two sister
chromatids called the
mitotic spindle, that is
made of microtubules
• Nucleolus disappears
• Nuclear envelope
disintegrates
MITOSIS PHASE: PROPHASE
What’s happening? What the cell looks like?
fatimaArivera
MITOSIS PHASE: PROMETAPHASE
fatimaArivera
What’s happening? What the cell looks like?
• Nuclear envelope
fragments
• Chromosomes become
more condensed
• A kinetochore is formed
at the centromere, the
point where the sister
chromatids are attached
• Microtubules attach at
the kinetochores
MITOSIS PHASE: METAPHASE
fatimaArivera
What’s happening? What the cell looks like?
• Chromosomes align on
an axis called the
metaphase plate
• Note: the spindle
consists of
microtubules, one
attached to each
chromosome
MITOSIS PHASE:ANAPHASE
fatimaArivera
What’s happening? What the cell looks like?
• Each centromere splits
making two chromatids
free
• Each chromatid moves
toward a pole
• Cell begins to elongate,
caused by microtubules
not associated with the
kinetochore
MITOSIS PHASE: TELOPHASE
fatimaArivera
What’s happening? What the cell looks like?
• Formation of nuclear
membrane and nucleolus
• Short and thick
chromosomes begin to
elongate to form long and
thin chromatin
• Formation of the cleavage
furrow - a shallow groove in
the cell near the old
metaphase plate
• Cytokinesis = division of the
cytoplasm
RESULTS OF MITOSIS
fatimaArivera
• Two daughter nuclei
• Each with same
chromosome number as
parent cell ( 2n)
• Genetically identical to
each other and the
parent cell
MEIOSIS
fatimaArivera
• Formation of Gametes (Eggs & Sperm)
• Called Reduction- division
• Preceded by interphase which includes
chromosome replication
• Two meiotic divisions
• Meiosis I and Meiosis II
• Original cell is diploid (2n)
• Four daughter cells produced that are
haploid (n)
SIGNIFICANCE OF MEIOSIS
fatimaArivera
• Two haploid (1n) gametes are brought together
through fertilization to form a diploid (2n) zygote
MEIOSIS I: PROPHASE I
fatimaArivera
Prophase I is further subdivided into
periods known as
•Leptotena
•Zygotena
•Pachytena
•Diplotena
•Diakinesis
A physical exchange of
chromosome pieces
PROPHASE I
fatimaArivera
METAPHASE I
fatimaArivera
Homologous pairs
of chromosomes
align along the
equator of the cell
ANAPHASE I
fatimaArivera
Homologs separate and
move to opposite poles.
Sister chromatids remain
attached at their centromeres.
TELOPHASE I
 Nuclear
envelopes
reassemble.
 Spindle disappears.
 Cytokinesis divides
cell into two.
fatimaArivera
MEIOSIS II: PROPHASE II
fatimaArivera
Nuclear envelope
fragments.
Spindle forms.
MEIOSIS II: METAPHASE II
fatimaArivera
Chromosomes align
along equator of cell.
MEIOSIS II: ANAPHASE II
 Sister chromatids separate
and move to opposite poles.

MEIOSIS II: TELOPHASE II

into two.

fatimaArivera
• Four haploid cells with one
copy of each chromosome

Intracellular control of the
cell cycle
fatimaArivera
The cell cycle is controlled by
regulator molecules that either:
promote the process (positive)
stop it from progressing (negative)
Positive: Cdks & Cyclins
fatimaArivera
 Cyclins
◦ The regulatory subunits of the protein
kinases that control the cell cycle
 Cyclin-Dependent Kinases (Cdks)
◦ The catalytic subunits of the protein
kinases
◦ Must be associated with a cyclin in order
to be activated
fatimaArivera
Negative: Rb & p53
fatimaArivera
 Tumor suppressor genes
 Tumor suppressor gene codes for a
signaling protein in an inhibitory
pathway. If a tumor suppressor gene
mutates, the end result can be
active cell division.
Negative: Rb & p53
fatimaArivera
◦ Retinoblastoma protein(Rb)
◦ prevents cell moving into S phase by
binding to a transcription factor
◦ When Rb is phosphorylated it cannot bind
so cell can move into S phase
◦ p53
◦ prevents damaged from dividing (by
inhibiting Rb pathway)
p53
 p53 protein halts cell division if it detects
damaged DNA
 options:
 stimulates repair enzymes to fix DNA
 forces cell into G0 resting stage
 keeps cell in G1 arrest
 causes apoptosis of damaged cell
 ALL cancers have to shut down p53 activity
 Cancer is essentially a failure of cell division
control
