They carry positive regulation interphase RB or retinoblastoma protein is one of the During interphase, the cell grows, organelles proteins that is considered a negative regulator are being copied, and the genetic material that stop the cell cycle from moving forward. (DNA) is replicated. It happened in G1 control point where the cell During the mitotic phase, the replicate DNA, is prevented from entering the S phase. This is the cytoplasm, and the organelles in it are until damaged DNA is repaired repeated. Then finally, the cell divides. The new identical daughter cells are formed. The Cell Cycle and Cancer The G1 phase (Gap 1) Cancer is a disease that result when cell division becomes uncontrolled.

Regulator Molecules of the Cell Cycle Cause the cell cycle to stop or to continue. Some of these important molecules are cyclin, CDK, and Rb  The nuclear envelope reappears around the daughter chromosomes, which then uncoil into chromatin. The nucleolus reappears in each daughter cell, completing karyokinesis, the division of one nucleus into genetically identical nuclei, followed by cytokinesis. Cytokinesis Division of cytoplasm The two daughter cells received a share of the cytoplasmic organelles that duplicated during interphase. Interphase Meiosis Where cell spends the time on this phase Occurs in a sexually mature organism. The DNA in chromosomes copies itself ready The haploid number of chromosomes reduce to cell division to become haploid gametes. The chromosomes the become thicker and Importance start to coil.

The polar fibers continue to extended from the Metaphase 1 poles to the center of the cell The chromosomes begin to move randomly The paired homologous chromosomes have until it finally attach to polar fibers from both moved toward the metaphase plate or at the of their centromeres. center of cell. Kinetochores, protein complexes outside the Anaphase centromeres are present and attached to the spindle fibers. During anaphase, sister chromatids separate at the centromere, forming two daughter Anaphase 1 chromosomes that move toward opposite spindle poles. By the end of this phase, each During cell division, chromosome pairs pole has an equal and complete set of separate and migrate to opposite ends of the chromosomes. cell. In humans, with 46 chromosomes, 23 will move to each pole, resulting in each new cell Telophase containing half the original number of chromosomes. The spindle fibers vanish, and diploid daughter nuclei begin to form at the cell's poles. Telophase Two new nuclei form around each set of chromosomes, leading to the complete division of the two daughter cells, which each contain an equal number of chromosomes. The cytoplasm splits, resulting in the formation of two haploid daughter cells. Interkinesis Interkinesis is a brief phase between the two Application of Mitosis and Meiosis stages of meiosis, similar to interphase in mitosis, but without DNA replication, as Growth and Development chromosomes are already duplicated. involve an increase in cell number through Prophase 2 mitosis, allowing a single organism to develop into a complex multicellular entity. After the Phase 2 involves the formation of four fertilization of an egg cell by a sperm cell, an haploid sex cells (sperm and egg cells). embryo is formed, which continues to grow During this phase, chromosomes condense, into a fully developed organism via mitosis. the nucleolus disintegrates, and chromatids thicken and shorten. Centrioles move to opposite poles, and spindle fibers organize in preparation for the next phase. Metaphase 2 This occurs to ensure sister chromatids separate in the next stage. The two kinetochores of each centromere bind to the spindle fibers from the opposite poles. The chromosomes move until they are on the Cell Replacement metaphase plate. Cells in the body are continuously lost and Anaphase 2 must be replaced. For instance, red blood cells Sister chromatids separate and move to have a lifespan of about 120 days, while skin opposite ends of the cell as the centromeres cells are replaced approximately every 27 divide. days. Microtubules attached to the kinetochores pull the chromatids toward the poles, transforming them into sister chromosomes. Telophase Four new nuclei develop around each set of chromosomes as the spindle fibers disappear. The nuclear envelope begins to form around the daughter chromosomes, and the cytoplasm divides, resulting in the formation of four haploid, genetically distinct daughter cells. Cell Regeneration Cell regeneration involves the use of mitosis to repair damaged tissues in organisms. For example, starfish can regenerate an entire limb through this process.  Stem Cell Regeneration Stem cells are unique cells capable of self- renewal through mitosis and can differentiate into various specialized cell types. Asexual Reproduction They are classified based on their differentiation potential into four categories: occurs in organisms like hydra, which use totipotent, pluripotent, multipotent, and mitosis to create genetically identical unipotent. offspring. In hydras, a bud forms on the parent's body, remains attached while growing, Totipotent and Pluripotent Stem Cells, Multipotent and eventually separates when mature, Totipotent stem cells, or omnipotent cells, can resulting in a new organism that is identical to differentiate into embryonic tissues and form a the parent. complete organism, with fertilized egg cells as an example. Pluripotent stem cells can self-renew and develop into the three germ layers—ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm—giving rise to all tissues and organs Multipotent stem cells can self-renew and differentiate into a limited range of related cell types, such as mesenchymal stem cells, which can develop into bones, cartilage, and components of the circulatory system. In contrast, unipotent stem cells can only differentiate into a single cell type. Application of Mitosis Significance of Meiosis Cloning Enables genetic diversity Repair of genetic defects- Meiosis facilitates Mitosis is applied in cloning, which involves the repair of genetic defects in offspring obtaining genetic material from one organism through recombination. If a parent carries a to create an identical copy. genetic defect in one allele, recombination can Gene cloning, or DNA cloning, produces replace it with a healthy allele from the other copies of specific genes by inserting them into parent, resulting in healthier offspring. a vector.

In humans, this occurs when a gamete with 22 chromosomes (n-1), instead of 23 chromosomes, fertilizes with a normal gamete (n). Trisomy Change in Chromosomes number abnormality where there are three homologous chromosomes instead of the usual pair. Mutation is a key factor that contributes to It occurs when a gamete 24 chromosomes variation among offspring, particularly (n+1), instead of 23 chromosomes, fertilizes through chromosomal mutations, which with a normal gamete (n). involve changes in chromosome number and structure. When an organism has the correct number of chromosomes, it is referred to as euploidy. Changes in chromosome number can result in conditions such as polyploidy and aneuploidy. Polyploid Polyploid organisms are classified based on the number of chromosomes sets they possess: triploid (3n) for three sets, tetraploid (4n) for four sets, and pentaploid (5n) for five sets. Polyploidy is frequently found in plants, including corn, watermelon, strawberry, and bananas. Aneuploidy refers to an organism having an abnormal number of chromosomes. It has two forms: monosomy, where there is one less chromosome (2n - 1), and trisomy, where there is one extra chromosome (2n + 1). Monosomy and trisomy are caused by nondisjunction during meiosis, which can happen in Meiosis I when homologous chromosomes move to the same daughter cell, or in Meiosis II when sister chromatids do not separate, resulting in both chromosomes being present in one gamete. Turner syndrome (XO) is a chromosomal condition in females characterized by the presence of one normal X chromosome and the absence or alteration of the other sex chromosome. It impacts the individual's development both before and after birth. Klinefelter syndrome is a condition primarily affecting boys, caused by the presence of an extra X chromosome. Individuals with this syndrome have a total of 47 chromosomes, consisting of the usual X and Y chromosomes plus an additional X chromosome (XXY). Poly-X females or superfemales, are individuals with more than two X chromosomes, typically having either XXX or XXXX sex chromosomes. Jacobs syndrome is a condition where males have XYY sex chromosomes. This disorder happens because of the nondisjunction during spermatogenesis. These individuals are sometimes called supermales. TOPIC: Cell Membrane Protein- help together diffusion and cell recognition separation between intracellular and Transport protein (G)- all the way through extracellular environment. the bilayers Ability of a cell to perform a specific chemical Integral protein (F)- also called membrane exchange that is key to life, it is the protein, found on one aspect of membrane. semipermeable membrane that cause this Glucose uses these channel proteins too help potential. move across cell membranes passively Phospholipid Bilayers Channel protein- transport ions and polar molecules, the pores allow substance to pass Phospholipid through without binding to the protein. Main components of the cell membranes. It is Carrier protein- proteins facilitate the barrier to water soluble molecules that line up movement of ions and polar molecules across in a bilayer arrangement. the cell membrane. Can transport substances Takot daw sa tubig(sabi sa notes ko) either along or against the concentration gradient by altering their shape and binding to the substances. The carbohydrate chain (D) on the glycoprotein (C) allows it to act as a receptor molecule. They can bind with certain substances and some act as cell markers for cell-to-cell recognition. Glycolipids- stabilize the cell membrane by making hydrogen bonds with nearby water molecules. They support with cell recognition and triggering immune responses. Transport Mechanism The cell membrane is a lipid bilayer embedded with various proteins that perform essential functions, including regulating the movement of solutes in and out of the cell. Solute transport occurs through four distinct processes: passive diffusion (down a gradient), carrier-mediated Hydrophilic- water loving transport (down a gradient), primary active transport (against a gradient), and Hydrophobic- water hating secondary-active transport (also against a gradient). Additionally, the membrane features channels made of membrane-spanning Cell Membrane Components proteins that facilitate solute diffusion down a gradient. Cholesterol (E)- manage the fluidity, stops the phospholipids to sitting closely to each other reduces the chance of membrane freezing in cold temperatures Passive Trasport Movement of substance through membranes Active Transport without energy Movement of molecules against a It depends on the permeability of the cell concentration gradient (lower concentration to membrane. higher concentration). Where use carrier Three types: diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated proteins that binds specific molecules. This diffusion type of molecular transport needs energy or Diffusion Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) Net passive movement of particles (atoms, ions or molecules) from area of higher concentration to lower concentration If galing sa labas, higher to lower concentration If galing sa loob, lower to higher concentration. Example, re-absorption of glucose, amino acid, and salt by the proximal convoluted tubule within the nephron is the kidney Osmosis Special example oof diffusion where the water through a partly semipermeable membrane from a more dilute solution to a more Endocytosis and Exocytosis concentrated solution. The transport of materials into and out of cells occurs via membrane-bound sacs that detach from the cell membrane. This process includes endocytosis and exocytosis, both of which involve the formation of vesicles to facilitate the movement of substances across the lipid bilayer. the process by which a cell takes in materials from its environment. The cell membrane creates a pocket around the material, which then pinches off to form a vesicle. These vesicles can merge with lysosomes or other Facilitated diffusion organelles. There are three types of endocytosis: phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and Movement of specific molecules down a receptor-mediated endocytosis. concentration gradient, passing through the membrane via particular carrier protein.  Exocytosis is the process by which waste and other byproducts are expelled from a cell. This occurs when vesicles formed in the Golgi complex fuse with the cell membrane, releasing their contents outside the cell. Cells utilize exocytosis to export proteins packaged by the Golgi complex, particularly in nerve cells and glandular cells. This process allows cells to release signaling proteins and waste products while also permitting the intake of essential molecules like nutrients.
