Cell division, occurring in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, produces new cells from pre-existing ones for growth and repair. Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis produces four non-identical haploid gametes. The document details the phases of the cell cycle, the mechanisms of both mitotic and meiotic divisions, and the implications for genetic variability and reproduction.

1. Cellular Division

2. Cell Division All cells are derived from pre-existing cells New cells are produced for growth and to replace damaged or old cells Differs in prokaryotes (bacteria) and eukaryotes (protists, fungi, plants, & animals)

3. Keeping Cells Identical The instructions for making cell parts are encoded in the DNA , so each new cell must get a complete set of the DNA molecules

4. DNA Replication DNA must be copied or replicated before cell division Each new cell will then have an identical copy of the DNA Original DNA strand Two new, identical DNA strands

5. Identical Daughter Cells Parent Cell Two identical daughter cells

6. Chromosomes

7. Prokaryotic Chromosome The DNA of prokaryotes (bacteria) is one, circular chromosome attached to the inside of the cell membrane

8. Eukaryotic Chromosomes All eukaryotic cells store genetic information in chromosomes Most eukaryotes have between 10 and 50 chromosomes in their body cells Human body cells have 46 chromosomes or 23 identical pairs

9. Eukaryotic Chromosomes Each chromosome is composed of a single, tightly coiled DNA molecule Chromosomes can’t be seen when cells aren’t dividing and are called chromatin

10. Compacting DNA into Chromosomes DNA is tightly coiled around proteins called histones

11. Chromosomes in Dividing Cells Duplicated chromosomes are called chromatids & are held together by the centromere Called Sister Chromatids

12. Karyotype A picture of the chromosomes from a human cell arranged in pairs by size First 22 pairs are called autosomes Last pair are the sex chromosomes XX female or XY male

13. Boy or Girl? Y - Chromosome X - Chromosome The Y Chromosome Decides

14. Cell Reproduction

15. Types of Cell Reproduction Asexual reproduction involves a single cell dividing to make 2 new, identical daughter cells Mitosis & binary fission are examples of asexual reproduction Sexual reproduction involves two cells (egg & sperm) joining to make a new cell (zygote) that is NOT identical to the original cells Meiosis is an example

16. Cell Division in Prokaryotes

17. Cell Division in Prokaryotes Prokaryotes such as bacteria divide into 2 identical cells by the process of binary fission Single chromosome makes a copy of itself Cell wall forms between the chromosomes dividing the cell Parent cell 2 identical daughter cells Chromosome relicates Cell splits

19. Animation of Binary Fission

20. The Cell Cycle

21. Five Phases of the Cell Cycle G 1 - primary growth phase S – synthesis; DNA replicated G 2 - secondary growth phase collectively these 3 stages are called interphase M - mitosis C - cytokinesis

22. Cell Cycle

23. Interphase - G 1 Stage 1 st growth stage after cell division Cells mature by making more cytoplasm & organelles Cell carries on its normal metabolic activities

24. Interphase – S Stage Synthesis stage DNA is copied or replicated Two identical copies of DNA Original DNA

25. Interphase – G 2 Stage 2 nd Growth Stage Occurs after DNA has been copied All cell structures needed for division are made (e.g. centrioles) Both organelles & proteins are synthesized

30. Four Mitotic Stages Pro phase Meta phase Ana phase Telo phase

31. Early Prophase Chromatin in nucleus condenses to form visible chromosomes Mitotic spindle forms from fibers in cytoskeleton or centrioles (animal) Chromosomes Nucleolus Cytoplasm Nuclear Membrane

32. Late Prophase Nuclear membrane & nucleolus are broken down Chromosomes continue condensing & are clearly visible Spindle fibers called kinetochores attach to the centromere of each chromosome Spindle finishes forming between the poles of the cell

33. Late Prophase Nucleus & Nucleolus have disintegrated Chromosomes

34. Spindle Fiber attached to Chromosome Kinetochore Fiber Chromosome

35. Review of Prophase What the cell looks like What’s happening

36. Spindle Fibers The mitotic spindle form from the microtubules in plants and centrioles in animal cells Polar fibers extend from one pole of the cell to the opposite pole Kinetochore fibers extend from the pole to the centromere of the chromosome to which they attach Asters are short fibers radiating from centrioles

37. Sketch The Spindle

38. Metaphase Chromosomes, attached to the kinetochore fibers , move to the center of the cell Chromosomes are now lined up at the equator Pole of the Cell Equator of Cell

44. Anaphase Review What the cell looks like What’s occurring

45. Telophase Sister chromatids at opposite poles Spindle disassembles Nuclear envelope forms around each set of sister chromatids Nucleolus reappears CYTOKINESIS occurs Chromosomes reappear as chromatin

46. Comparison of Anaphase & Telophase

47. Cytokinesis Means division of the cytoplasm Division of cell into two, identical halves called daughter cells In plant cells, cell plate forms at the equator to divide cell In animal cells, cleavage furrow forms to split cell

48. Cytokinesis Cleavage furrow in animal cell Cell plate in plant cell

49. Mitotic Stages

50. Daughter Cells of Mitosis Have the same number of chromosomes as each other and as the parent cell from which they were formed Identical to each other, but smaller than parent cell Must grow in size to become mature cells (G 1 of Interphase)

66. Meiosis Formation of Gametes (Eggs & Sperm)

67. Facts About Meiosis Preceded by interphase which includes chromosome replication Two meiotic divisions --- Meiosis I and Meiosis II Called Reduction- division Original cell is diploid (2n) Four daughter cells produced that are monoploid (1n)

68. Facts About Meiosis Daughter cells contain half the number of chromosomes as the original cell Produces gametes (eggs & sperm ) Occurs in the testes in males ( Spermatogenesis ) Occurs in the ovaries in females ( Oogenesis )

69. More Meiosis Facts Start with 46 double stranded chromosomes (2n) After 1 division - 23 double stranded chromosomes (n) After 2nd division - 23 single stranded chromosomes (n) Occurs in our germ cells that produce gametes

70. Why Do we Need Meiosis? It is the fundamental basis of sexual reproduction Two haploid (1n) gametes are brought together through fertilization to form a diploid (2n) zygote

71. Fertilization – “Putting it all together” 1n =3 2n = 6

72. Replication of Chromosomes Replication is the process of duplicating a chromosome Occurs prior to division Replicated copies are called sister chromatids Held together at centromere Occurs in Interphase

73. A Replicated Chromosome Gene X Homologs separate in meiosis I and therefore different alleles separate. Homologs (same genes, different alleles) Sister Chromatids (same genes, same alleles)

74. Meiosis Forms Haploid Gametes Meiosis must reduce the chromosome number by half Fertilization then restores the 2n number The right number! from mom from dad child meiosis reduces genetic content too much!

75. Meiosis: Two Part Cell Division Homologs separate Sister chromatids separate Diploid Diploid Haploid Meiosis I Meiosis II

76. Meiosis I: Reduction Division Early Prophase I (Chromosome number doubled ) Late Prophase I Metaphase I Anaphase I Telophase I (diploid) Nucleus Spindle fibers Nuclear envelope

77. Prophase I Early prophase Homologs pair. Crossing over occurs . Late prophase Chromosomes condense. Spindle forms. Nuclear envelope fragments.

78. Tetrads Form in Prophase I Homologous chromosomes (each with sister chromatids) Join to form a TETRAD Called Synapsis

79. Crossing-Over Homologous chromosomes in a tetrad cross over each other Pieces of chromosomes or genes are exchanged Produces Genetic recombination in the offspring

80. Homologous Chromosomes During Crossing-Over

81. Crossing-Over Crossing-over multiplies the already huge number of different gamete types produced by independent assortment

82. Metaphase I Homologous pairs of chromosomes align along the equator of the cell

83. Anaphase I Homologs separate and move to opposite poles. Sister chromatids remain attached at their centromeres .

84. Telophase I Nuclear envelopes reassemble. Spindle disappears. Cytokinesis divides cell into two.

85. Meiosis II Only one homolog of each chromosome is present in the cell . Gene X Meiosis II produces gametes with one copy of each chromosome and thus one copy of each gene. Sister chromatids carry identical genetic information .

86. Meiosis II: Reducing Chromosome Number Prophase II Metaphase II Anaphase II Telophase II 4 Identical haploid cells

87. Prophase II Nuclear envelope fragments. Spindle forms.

88. Metaphase II Chromosomes align along equator of cell.

89. Anaphase II Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles . Equator Pole

90. Telophase II Nuclear envelope assembles. Chromosomes decondense. Spindle disappears. Cytokinesis divides cell into two.

91. Results of Meiosis Gametes (egg & sperm) form Four haploid cells with one copy of each chromosome One allele of each gene Different combinations of alleles for different genes along the chromosome

92. Gametogenesis Oogenesis or Spermatogenesis

93. Spermatogenesis Occurs in the testes Two divisions produce 4 spermatids Spermatids mature into sperm Men produce about 250,000,000 sperm per day

94. Spermatogenesis in the Testes Spermatid

95. Spermatogenesis

96. Oogenesis Occurs in the ovaries Two divisions produce 3 polar bodies that die and 1 egg Polar bodies die because of unequal division of cytoplasm Immature egg called oocyte Starting at puberty, one oocyte matures into an ovum (egg) every 28 days

97. Oogenesis in the Ovaries

98. Oogenesis Oogonium (diploid) Mitosis Primary oocyte (diploid) Meiosis I Secondary oocyte (haploid) Meiosis II (if fertilization occurs) First polar body may divide (haploid) Polar bodies die Ovum (egg) Second polar body (haploid) a A X X a X A X a X a X Mature egg A X A X
