Study Notes

Cell Reproduction Overview

  • Binary fission is an asexual reproductive process in prokaryotes involving DNA replication and cell elongation before membrane closure.
  • A septum is a dividing wall that separates daughter organisms in binary fission.
  • Karyokinesis, the division of a cell nucleus during mitosis, is absent in binary fission, as prokaryotes lack a nucleus.

Eukaryotic Cell Division Components

  • Common components shared between eukaryotic cell division and binary fission: DNA duplication, chromosome segregation, cytoplasmic division.
  • Duplicated bacterial chromosomes attach to the cell membrane for distribution into new daughter cells.
  • Chromosomes form through tightly packed DNA, often wrapped around histones, which are proteins that help condense DNA into chromatin.

Chromosomes and Genes

  • Homologous chromosomes consist of matched pairs that carry genetic information.
  • Genes are hereditary units determining specific traits passed from parents to offspring.
  • A karyotype is a visual representation of chromosomes arranged by length.

Phases of the Cell Cycle

  • G1 phase involves accumulation of DNA, energy, and proteins, preparing the cell for division.
  • S phase is dedicated to DNA replication.
  • G2 phase focuses on energy replenishment, protein synthesis, organelle duplication, and cytoskeleton dismantling.
  • M phase is when actual cell division occurs, encompassing mitosis.

Mitosis Stages

  • Interphase serves as a preparatory phase for mitosis, where cells grow and replicate DNA.
  • Prophase is the first and longest phase where chromosomes become visible and centrioles migrate to poles.
  • Metaphase sees chromosomes align at the cell's equator, connecting to spindle fibers.
  • Anaphase involves sister chromatids separating into individual chromosomes and moving apart.
  • Telophase marks the end of mitosis with chromosomes gathering at opposite poles, forming two nuclear membranes.

Differences in Plant and Animal Cell Mitosis

  • In plant cells, a cell plate forms during division.
  • Animal cells utilize centrosomes during mitosis.

Cell Cycle Regulation

  • G0 phase is for cells that do not frequently divide.
  • Checkpoints in the cell cycle monitor:
    • G1 for cell size and nutrient availability.
    • G2 for DNA replication and cell size.
    • Spindle Assembly for chromosome-fibre attachment.
  • Cyclins regulate the timing of transitions between cell cycle phases.
  • Proto-oncogenes code for proteins that promote cell growth, while oncogenes can cause cancer.
  • Tumor suppressor genes prevent uncontrolled cell division by counteracting oncogene effects.
