Chapter 9: How Cells Reproduce Division Mechanisms

• Eukaryotic organisms –

• Prokaryotic organisms

– Prokaryotic fission or Binary fission Roles of Mitosis

• Multicelled organisms – Growth – replacement

• Some protistans, fungi, plants, animals – Asexual reproduction

• A DNA molecule & attached • Duplicated in preparation for mitosis

Mitosis G2 Interphase

• Usually longest part of the cycle

• Cell increases in mass

• DNA is duplicated Mitosis

• Period of nuclear division • Usually followed by cytoplasmic division • Four stages: – Prophase – Metaphase – Anaphase – Telophase Control of the Cycle

• Once S begins, the cycle automatically runs through G2 and mitosis • The cycle has a built-in molecular brake in G1 • Cancer involves a loss of control over the cycle, malfunction of the “brakes” The

• Consists of two distinct sets of – Each set extends from one of the cell poles – Two sets overlap at spindle equator • Moves chromosomes during mitosis Spindle Apparatus

Telophase Early Prophase - Mitosis Begins

Duplicated chromosomes begin to condense

Figure 9.7 Page 146 Late Prophase

• New microtubules are assembled • One pair is moved toward opposite pole of spindle • starts to break up

Figure 9.7 Page 146 Transition to Metaphase

• Spindle forms • Spindle microtubules become attached to the two of each chromosome

Figure 9.7 Page 146 Metaphase

• All chromosomes are lined up at the spindle equator • Chromosomes are maximally condensed

Figure 9.7 Page 147 Anaphase

• Sister chromatids of each chromosome are pulled apart • Once separated, each chromatid is a chromosome

Figure 9.7 Page 147 Telophase

• Chromosomes decondense • Two nuclear membranes form, one around each set of unduplicated chromosomes

Figure 9.7 Page 147 Results of Mitosis

• Two daughter nuclei • Each with same chromosome number as parent cell • Chromosomes in unduplicated form

• Sometimes a checkpoint mutates and control over cell division is lost.

• Cells uncontrollable division forms an abnormal mass called a tumor.

• Neoplasms Cancer
