    Study Notes

    Cell Division

    Meiosis

    • Definition: Type of cell division producing gametes (sex cells).
    • Phases:
      1. Meiosis I:
        • Homologous chromosomes separate.
        • Stages: Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I.
        • Result: Two haploid cells.
      2. Meiosis II:
        • Sister chromatids separate.
        • Stages: Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II.
        • Result: Four genetically diverse haploid cells.
    • Significance:
      • Introduces genetic variation through crossing over and independent assortment.
      • Essential for sexual reproduction.

    Mitosis

    • Definition: Process of somatic cell division producing two genetically identical daughter cells.
    • Phases:
      1. Prophase: Chromatin condenses into chromosomes; nuclear envelope dissolves.
      2. Metaphase: Chromosomes align at the cell's equator.
      3. Anaphase: Sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles.
      4. Telophase: Nuclear envelopes reform; chromosomes de-condense.
      5. Cytokinesis: Cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate cells.
    • Significance:
      • Facilitates growth and repair of tissues.
      • Ensures genetic consistency across cells.

    Cell Cycle Regulation

    • Phases of the Cell Cycle:

      • Interphase: Preparatory phase (G1, S, G2).
        • G1: Cell growth.
        • S: DNA replication.
        • G2: Preparation for mitosis.
      • M Phase: Mitosis and Cytokinesis.

    • Regulatory Mechanisms:

      • Cyclins and Cyclin-dependent Kinases (CDKs): Drive the progression through the cell cycle.
        • Specific cyclins are produced and degraded at different stages.
      • Checkpoints:
        • G1 Checkpoint: assesses cell size, DNA integrity.
        • G2 Checkpoint: checks DNA replication completeness.
        • M Checkpoint: ensures all chromosomes are attached to the spindle before mitosis.

    • Significance:

      • Precise regulation prevents uncontrolled cell division (cancer).
      • Maintains genomic integrity and cell function.

    Meiosis

    • Produces gametes (sex cells)
    • Involves two rounds of division: Meiosis I & Meiosis II
      • Meiosis I: Separates homologous chromosomes, resulting in two haploid cells
        • Stages: Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I
      • Meiosis II: Separates sister chromatids, resulting in four genetically diverse haploid cells
        • Stages: Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II
    • Introduces genetic variation through crossing over and independent assortment
    • Essential for sexual reproduction

    Mitosis

    • Process of somatic cell division, producing two genetically identical daughter cells
    • Involves four distinct phases:
      • Prophase: Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope dissolves
      • Metaphase: Chromosomes align at the cell's equator
      • Anaphase: Sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles
      • Telophase: Nuclear envelopes reform, and chromosomes decondense
    • Cytokinesis: Cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate cells
    • Facilitates growth and repair of tissues
    • Ensures genetic consistency across cells

    Cell Cycle Regulation

    • Consists of two main phases: Interphase and M Phase
      • Interphase: Preparatory phase, including G1, S, and G2
        • G1: Cell growth
        • S: DNA replication
        • G2: Preparation for mitosis
      • M Phase: Mitosis and Cytokinesis
    • Regulated by cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs)
      • Specific cyclins are produced and degraded at different stages, driving the cell cycle progression
    • Checkpoints ensure proper cell cycle control:
      • G1 Checkpoint: assesses cell size and DNA integrity
      • G2 Checkpoint: checks DNA replication completeness
      • M Checkpoint: ensures all chromosomes are attached to the spindle before mitosis
    • Precise regulation prevents uncontrolled cell division (cancer)
    • Maintains genomic integrity and cell function
