Chapter 12: The Cell Cycle

Tomorrow• Pre-lab – Mitosis only (NOT meiosis – Lab 3)• Mitosis lab (Make-up is Thursday 7:30 AM)b• turn in notebooks at end (Have respiration lab finished!!)

1. When is cell division important?- Reproduction – unicellular organisms – binary fission in bacteria- Growth & development from fertilized egg- Repair (& replacement) of damaged cells


20 µm100 µm 200 µm

(a) Reproduction. An amoeba, a single-celled eukaryote, is dividing into two cells. Each new cell will be an individual organism (LM).

(b) Growth and development. This micrograph shows a sand dollar embryo shortly after the fertilized egg divided, forming two cells (LM).

(c) Tissue renewal. These dividing bone marrow cells (arrow) will give rise to new blood cells (LM).

1. When is cell division important?

2. What is an organism’s genome?- Total hereditary endowment in the cell of a species- Nuclear & extra-nuclear (mito & chloro)

3. How many chromosomes do we have?- 46 – somatic cell (cells of the body)

- 2n - diploid

- 23 – gamete (sex cells – sperm & egg) - n - haploid

4. What are chromosomes made of?- Chromatin- DNA & proteins

Sisterchromatids

Centrometers Sister chromatids

A eukaryotic cell has multiplechromosomes, one of which is

represented here. Before duplication, each chromosome

has a single DNA molecule.

Once duplicated, a chromosomeconsists of two sister chromatids

connected at the centromere. Eachchromatid contains a copy of the

DNA molecule.

Mechanical processes separate the sister chromatids into two chromosomes and distribute

them to two daughter cells.

5. What are the 2 major phases of the cell cycle?- Interphase – 90%- Mitotic phase – 10%






5. What are the 2 major phases of the cell cycle?- Interphase- Mitotic phase

6. What are the steps of the cell cycle?- IPMAT- Interphase- Prophase- Metaphase- Anaphase- Telophase

7. What is the difference between animal and plant cytokinesis?- Animal – cleavage furrow – cell forms from outside in- Plants – cell plate – cell forms from inside out

8. How is the cell cycle regulated?- Checkpoints- Make sure cell has enough “ingredients” to move to next stage

(a) If a cell receives a go-ahead signal at the G1 checkpoint, the cell continues on in the cell cycle.

(b) If a cell does not receive a go-ahead signal at the G1checkpoint, the cell exits the cell cycle and goes into G0, a nondividing state.

Most functioning cells are in G0







7. What is the difference between animal and plant cytokinesis?

8. How is the cell cycle regulated?- Checkpoints

- Make sure cell has enough “ingredients” to move to next stage

- Cyclins

- Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)

- MPF - maturation promoting factor - Cyclin + CDK = MPF


Accumulated cyclin moleculescombine with recycled Cdk mol-ecules, producing enough molecules of MPF to pass the G2 checkpoint and initiate the events of mitosis.

MPF promotes mitosis by phosphorylating various proteins. MPF‘s activity peaks during metaphase.

3

During G1, conditions in the cell favor degradation of cyclin, and the Cdk component of MPF is recycled.

5

During anaphase, the cyclin component of MPF is degraded, terminating the M phase. The cell enters the G1 phase.

2

Synthesis of cyclin begins in late S phase and continues through G2. Because cyclin is protected from degradation during this stage, it accumulates.
