Figure 12.2 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Cell division Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Cell division processes in humans Cell division processes: – Mitosis: production of somatic cells (diploid cells) – Meiosis: production of gametes (haploid cells) Mitosis: conserves the chromosome number of the cells => production of 2 genetically identical cells that are also genetically identical to the parental cell Meiosis: reduces the chromosome number in half => production of gametes in the gonads => Fertilization: A male and female gamete (haploid cells) fuse producing a zygote with a complete set of chromosomes (diploid) Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Cell division and the Cell Cycle Why do we need to learn about cell division and understand the Cell Cycle? Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings What is cancer? Cancer is an abnormal growth of cells which tend to proliferate in an uncontrolled way and, in some cases, to metastasize (spread). Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Daughter cell 1 Parent cell Daughter cell 2 Cell division has to be tightly controlled to avoid uncontrolled cell division which leads to carcinogenesis Cancer: uncontrolled cell growth In order to understand how cancer develops we need to understand how the Cell Cycle works Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Cell cycle Mitosis (cell division process) is an integral part of the cell cycle Mitosis results in 2 genetically identical daughter cells Cells duplicate their genetic material before they divide (DNA replication) => Each daughter cell receives an exact copy of the genetic material (DNA) Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Cell cycle The functional process that a cell goes through until it is divided in 2 identical daughter cells Phases (stages) of the cell cycle: - G1 (gap 1): preparation of the cell for DNA replication - S phase (synthesis): DNA replication - G2 (gap 2): preparation for cell division - M phase (mitotic phase): cell division (mitosis) Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Phases of the Cell Cycle The cell cycle consists of: – Interphase: G1, S and G2 phases – Mitotic phase: Mitosis and Cytokinesis INTERPHASE S G1 (DNA synthesis) G2 Figure 12.5 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings The phases of the Cell Cycle Interphase: G1, S, G2 M phase: - Mitosis (Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase) - Cytokinesis Figure 8.3b The Biology of Cancer (© Garland Science 2007) Cell Cycle phases G0 phase G1 phase S phase interphase Division Mitotic phase G2 phase Daughter cells Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings G0 phase G0 = quiescent phase - Resting phase: non-dividing cells are resting at this phase Differentiated cells enter from G0 to G1 after the action of growth factors Cells exit G1 and enter G0 (G1 → G0) in order to differentiate Cell cycle control: - Εxtracellular signals (e.g. presence of growth factors) - Intracellular signals (e.g. cell size) Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Cell types according to their cell division potential Post-mitotic cells: terminally differentiated cells which have lost their ability to replicate => permanently arrested at G0 phase - Example: neural cells, cardiac muscle cells, red blood cells Cells that divide upon appropriate stimulation (signal): - Example: most of the cells in our body only divide upon stimulation by growth factors or other signal - e.g. lymphocytes upon antigenic presentation Cells with high mitotic activity: e.g. germ cells, stem cells, epithelial cells Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Interphase The period between cell divisions The larger phase of the cell cycle The cell prepares for cell division Includes the 3 first phases of the cell cycle: - G1, S, G2 phases - Includes DNA replication (S phase) The cell decides whether or not it will proceed with cell division Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Interphase Before cell division (during interphase): 1. Cell components have to replicate (organelles, membranes, proteins) 2. Chromosomes need to replicate Genetic material needs to replicate in order for daughter cells to have the same genome as the parental cell This ensures their survival Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Interphase Interphase can be divided into 3 sub-phases: G1 phase: preparation for DNA replication - Protein synthesis, organelle production - Duration: 5-6 h S phase: DNA synthesis (replication) - Duration: 10-12 h G2 phase: preparation for cell division (mitosis) - Protein synthesis, organelle production - Duration: 4-6 h Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Cellular Organization of the Genetic Material Genome: the complete set of genetic information (DNA) of a cell (all the genes) The DNA molecules of a cell are packaged into chromosomes Eukaryotic chromosomes: – Consist of chromatin, a complex of DNA and proteins (histones) – Each chromosome carries a few hundred to a few thousand genes Chromosomes are huge: A human cell’s DNA is about 2 m long!!! Figure 12.3 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 50 µm Chromosomal content of human cells 2 types of cells according to their chromosomal content in humans: Somatic cells: diploid cells (2n, n =23 chromosomes) - have 2 sets of 23 chromosomes = 46 total => 23 chromosome pairs - Each homologous chromosome pair has 1 paternal and 1 maternal chromosome Gametes (reproductive cells): haploid cells (n, n =23 chromosomes) – have one set of chromosomes = 23 total – Have only 1 chromosome (either paternal or maternal) from each homologous chromosome pair Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Chromosomal content of human somatic cells Homologous chromosomes: carry the same genes at the same positions Pair of homologous Human Karyotype chromosomes Maternal Paternal chromosome chromosome Each somatic cell has 46 chromosomes (23 chromosome pairs) Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Distribution of Chromosomes During Cell Cycle Interphase: chromosomes are not condensed – G1 phase: each chromosome consists of one chromatid (not replicated yet) – S phase: DNA is replicated – G2 phase: Each duplicated chromosome has 2 sister chromatids Mitosis (cell division): - the chromosomes condense => can be seen with a light microscope - sister chromatids separate => each future daughter cell receives one chromatid Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Duplication of chromosomes during cell division 0.5 µm G1 Before duplication, each phase chromosome has a single DNA molecule. Chromosome duplication (including DNA Once duplicated, a chromosome synthesis) S consists of two sister chromatids Centromere phase connected at the centromere. Each chromatid contains a copy of the DNA molecule. Sister Separation chromatids of sister Mechanical processes separate chromatids Mitosis the sister chromatids into two chromosomes and distribute them to two daughter cells.

Anaphase Anaphase Anaphase Daughter chromosomes The sister chromatids of each chromosome move towards opposite poles By the end of anaphase the two poles of the cell have equivalent collections of chromosomes (chromatids) Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 5. Telophase Telophase and Cytokinesis Cleavage Nucleolus furrow forming Telophase and Cytokinesis Nuclear envelope forming Nuclear envelops reform Nucleoli reappear Two daughter nuclei form in the cell Chromosomes decondense Mitosis (the division of one nucleus into two genetically identical nuclei) is now complete Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 6. Cytokinesis Telophase and Cytokinesis Cleavage Nucleolus furrow forming Telophase and Cytokinesis Nuclear envelope forming Cytokinesis: the cells are completely separated. The division of the cytoplasm usually begins by late telophase so the two daughter cells appear shortly after the end of mitosis. In animal cells, cytokinesis occurs by a process known as cleavage, forming a cleavage furrow.
