Cell Division
The Cell Cycle
-Cycle means the repetition of a sequence of events during a given time period.
-The cell cycle is divided into:
1. Mitosis: ordinary cell division.
2. Interphase.

The Cell Cycle
Cell Theory and Cell Division
Cell Theory
• Def: All organisms consist of cells and arise from pre-existing cells
• Cell cycle: predictable sequence of cell life events
– Chromosomes: thread-like bodies visible during cell division
The interphase is divided into three phases: 1-Gap I or G phase: The one following mitosis 2-Gap S phase: Synthesis phase where DNA is duplicated 3-Gap 2 or G 2 phase: -So, it is in the G1 or G2 phase where the cell is
performing its specialized function while in the S phase it is only directed to duplicate its DNA..
-In the interphase the cells become specialized working cells, so we may get prolonged G1 or rarely G2 phase.
Functions of the nucleus 1-It directs the cell division. 2-It carries all the genetic information and hereditary characters. 3-It controls all the cell functions including protein synthesis. 4-It is responsible for the formation of RNA.
The cells of the body may be categorized into 3 types:
1- Very highly specialized cells-They never divide i.e. we posses a certain
number of these cells since birth.
-If they die or wear out, they never regenerate. e.g. nerve cells, and cardiac muscle cells.
2- Highly specialized cells -They can keep their members from other cells of
the same family type from a stem or a mother cell.
e.g. cells lining the stomach and intestine.
3- Specialized cells -They can go into cycle only under extreme conditions. e.g. liver cells (hepatocytes). -In case of removal of up to 2/3 of the liver in
experimental animals, these cells are able to restore the normal size of the liver.

Gap2 phase: a period of time between S and beginning of mitosis
– Synthesis of materials used in mitosis
– Microtubule proteins, ATP, other organelles
– 4-5 hours duration
• Duration times based upon one organism, others may differ

Cell Division-In the human body, two types of
cell division are known:
I-Mitosis. II-Meiosis.
Cell Theory and Cell Division
Set of chromosomes
• Ploidy: a term referring to the numbers of sets of chromosomes in a given cell
• Def: one of each kind of chromosome that is characteristic of a species– Human set has 23 chromosomes
• Haploid (n): one set
• Diploid (2n): two sets
I-Mitosis -It is the process by which the cell divides. -In animal cells, the whole process takes
from 1-15 hours.
-Before going into mitosis, duplication of
the chromosomes occurs during the s-stage of the interphase.
-At the G2 stage of the interphase, we have 46 d-chromosomes (double-stranded chromosomes) and also double pairs of centrioles.
-During mitosis, the 46 d-chromosomes separate giving us 92 s-chormosomes, where each half of them is directed towards the corresponding pole of the cell.
-Thus, two nuclei with the typical46 s-chromosome arrangement of a nucleus in the g1 stage of the
interphase are formed, and two similar daughter cells result.
• -Another important feature of mitosis, is the formation of mitotic spindle.
• -The cells in the G1 stage have 2 centrioles which are perpendicular to each other. If this cell starts to go to the s-phase and G2 phase, these 2 centrioles become 4 in number.
Phases of Mitosis
• 1-Prophase• 2-Metaphase• 3-Anaphase• 4-Telephase
Mitosis (M Phase)
Prophase Events
• Chromosomes condense, become visible– Replicated chromosomes (=chromatids) joined
at the centromere
• Spindle apparatus forms and attaches to kinetochore (structure associated with the centromere)
• Nuclear membrane begins to disintegrate
1-Prophase:-Disapearance of nucleolus and nuclear
envelop. -Formation of the mitotic spindle. -Direction of each divided cenrtiole to
one of the cell pole. -Chromosomes condensed to 2
chromatid
Mitosis (M Phase)
Metaphase Events
• Chromosomes align along the equator of the cell
• Spindle appratus anchored (in animals) at the centriole (site of spindle formation)
PRIOR TO MITOSIS MITOSISChromosomes replicate,forming siblingchromatids
Sibling chromatids separate
CentrosomesCentrioles
Early mitotic spindleKinetochore
1. Chromosomesreplicate in parent cell.
2. Prophase: Chromosomescondense and mitotic spindle begins to form. Nuclear envelope breaks down.
3. Metaphase:Chromosomes migrate to middle of cell
Interphase Prophase Metaphase
Stages of Mitosis
2-Metaphase:-The chromosomes are aligned in the
equatorial plane.-The chromosomes are attached to the
spindles at the kinetochore
Mitosis (M Phase)
Anaphase Events
• Centromere divides allowing spindle apparatus to shorten and separate sibling chromatids
• Separated chromatids called chromosomes
• Chromosomes move to opposite poles of the cell
4. Anaphase: Sister chromatids separate. Chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles of the cell.
5. Telophase: The nuclear envelope reforms. 6. Cytokinesis: The cell divides.
Anaphase Telophase
Stages of Mitosis
4-Telophase:*Reappearance of the nuclear memb.
and constriction in the cytoplasm to form two new cells
* Formation of the chromatin network
Mitosis (M Phase)
Telophase and Cytokinesis Events
• Nuclear envelope begins to form around chromosomes
• Chromosomes become diffuse
• Spindle apparatus disappears
• Cytokinesis begins
Mitosis (M Phase)
• Cytokinesis in animals
characterized by a cleavage furrow
• Cytokinesis in plants
characterized by the formation of a new wall between newly forming nuclei

MEIOSISMEIOSIS
Meiosis
• The form of cell divisioncell division by which gametes, gametes, with halfhalf the number of chromosomes,chromosomes, are produced.
• Diploid (2n) Diploid (2n) haploid (n)haploid (n)
• MeiosisMeiosis is sexual reproduction.sexual reproduction.
• Two divisionsTwo divisions (meiosis I meiosis I and meiosis IImeiosis II).
MeiosisMeiosis
• Sex cells Sex cells divide to produce gametesgametes (sperm or egg)(sperm or egg).
• GametesGametes have halfhalf the number of chromosomeschromosomes.

II-Meiosis-It is the division which occur in the gamete
cells in the ovary and the seminiferous tubules.
-The mother cell in the female ovary is the primary oocyte.
-At the time of birth, the baby girl has two million primary oocytes in her two ovaries.
-The oocyte passes to the s-stage where it contains 46 d-chromosomes then through the G2 to start the division.

• ChromosomesChromosomes condense.
• SynapsisSynapsis occurs: homologous chromosomes homologous chromosomes come together to form a tetradtetrad.
• TetradTetrad is two chromosomeschromosomes or four chromatidschromatids (sister and nonsister chromatids).
First meiotic division-It consists of prophase, metaphase, anaphase
and telophase. -In the prophase there are 5 stages:
1-Leptotene 2-Zygotene3- Pachytene4-Diplotene 5-Diakinesis
1-Leptotene The 46 d-chromosomes appear as ribbons or
in a thread-like form.
2-Zygotene Each member of the pair of d-chromosomes
lies beside each other .thus, a bivalent is formed, one of a maternal
origin and the other from a paternal origin.
3- Pachytene The chromosomes become thicker and
shorter.
4-Diplotene Each bivalent consists of 2 d-chromosomes and
every d-chromosome is composed of 2 strands or 2 s-chromosomes.
5-Diakinesis -The 2 arms of the bivalent may cross one
another and this is called a chiasma. -This causes detachment and the fragment
reunits with the other stump. -This results in the exchange of paternally
derived chromosome portions with parts of maternally derived chromosomes and vice-versa.
