How do you heal a wound?
How do you replace worn out cells?
Cell cycle and Cell Division
Ability to reproduce is one characteristic that distinguishes living things from
nonliving matter.
The continuity of life from one cell to another is based on cell division
This division process occurs as part of the cell cycle
cell division
Cells come from cells
Cell division is needed for growth, replacement and repair
Body cells are called somatic cellsSex cells are called gametes
What is Mitosis?Mitosis
Takes one cell and produce two cells that are the genetic equivalent of the parent.
Mitosis is nuclear division. It is the process by which a new cell receives the identical DNA
as its parent cellThe new cell is called the daughter cell. Mitosis
produces two identical daughter cells
Why is mitosis important?This is how multicellular organisms grow,
repair or heal injuries and maintain function.
It is also how asexual reproduction takes place
Mitosis accompanied by Cytokinesis
Functions in reproduction, growth, and repair– reproduces an entire unicellular
organism, increasing the population.
– on a larger scale can produce progeny for some multicellular organisms.
• organisms that can grow by cuttings or by fission.
• Is central to the development of a multicellular organism that begins as a fertilized egg or zygote.
• For repair and renew cells that die from normal wear and tear or accidents.

What is a genome?An organism’s complete collection
of all its genes
DNA is the molecule that makes up your genes
DNA is packaged into units called chromosomes in the nucleus of cells
What is DNA?
DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is a large molecule made of chains of repeating units called nucleotides.
It contains the information for specifying the proteins that allow life
What kind of information is encoded in DNA?
Instructions on how to make proteins.
Organisms function as a result of its proteins. Proteins make up structural parts and function as defenses, hormones, enzymes, transport among
many others
What is a gene?
A segment of DNA on a chromosome containing instruction on how to
make a protein
What are chromosomes? A DNA molecule with its associated proteins called
histones
The number of chromosomes is the same for all the members of a
species.
Humans have 46 chromosomes
What is the HAPLOID number of chromosomes? What is DIPLOID?
• What cells have the haploid number? Why?
• What cells have the diploid number of chromosomes? Why?
– Before a cell starts dividing, the chromosomes replicate– Producing sister
chromatids joined together at the centromere

-Chromosomes contain a very long DNA molecule associated with proteins• And are visible only when the cell is dividing
– If a cell is not undergoing division• Chromosomes
occur in the form of thin, loosely packed chromatin fibers

What must happen before mitosis?
The cell must make exact copies of its chromosomes in the nucleus so each
new daughter cell gets the same number and type of chromosomes as
its parent cell
Cell division requires the distribution of genetic material - DNA - to two
daughter cells.
A dividing cell duplicates its DNA, moves the two copies to opposite ends of the cell, and then splits
into two daughter cells.

What is the cell cycle?
The cell cycle is an ordered set of events, resulting in cell growth
and division into two daughter cells
The stages of the cell cycle are :
G1(stands for Gap1), S (stands for synthesis, this is when DNA is replicated) and
G2 (stands for Gap 2)
Cell Cycle
• Cycle starts when a new cell forms
• During cycle, cell increases in mass and duplicates its chromosomes
• Cycle ends when the new cell divides
The Cell Cycle
What are the phases of the cell cycle?
Interphase: This takes up most of the cell cycle G1This is a time when a cell doubles organelles in its cytoplasm and grows
S is when DNA in the nucleus is doubled
G2 each chromosome now consists of two identical sister chromatids and the cell is preparing to divide
Mitosis: the nucleus and its duplicated chromosomes divide
Cytokynesis: the cytoplasm is divided in two
• The mitotic (M) phase of the cell cycle alternates with the much longer interphase.– The M phase includes mitosis and
cytokinesis.
– Interphase accounts for 90% of the cell cycle.
The mitotic phase alternates with interphase in the cell cycle
Slide 3

Interphase
•Usually longest part of the cycle
•Cell increases in mass
•Number of cytoplasmic
components doubles
•DNA is duplicated
Stages of Interphase
•G1
–Interval or gap after cell division
•S
–Time of DNA synthesis (replication)
•G2
–Interval or gap after DNA replication
•Period of nuclear division
•Usually followed by cytoplasmic division - Cytokynesis

• On the cytoplasmic side of the cleavage furrow a contractile ring of actin microfilaments and the motor protein myosin form.
• Contraction of the ring pinches the cell in two.

• Cytokinesis, division of the cytoplasm, typically follows mitosis.
• In animals, the first sign of cytokinesis (cleavage)
is the appearance of a cleavage furrow in the cell surface near the old metaphase plate.
Cytokinesis divides the cytoplasm: a closer look

• The distinct events of the cell cycle are directed by a distinct cell cycle control system.
– These molecules trigger and coordinate key events in the cell cycle.
– The control cycle has a built-in clock, but it is also regulated by external adjustments and internal controls.

Control System of the Cell Cycle
Cell cycle control system• There are three major checkpoints in the cell
cycle. These are “stop and go” signals.(G1, M, and G2)
• It checks whether or not the cellular processes have been completed up to that point so it can proceed.
• The G1 check point is very important. Nerve cells and muscle cells switch into a non dividing stage called G0. They do not get a “go ahead” signal and stop dividing.
Regulation of the cell cycle
How cell division is regulated is very complex and when there are errors it
results in cancer
Cancer is a disease where control of cell division is lost. The cells don’t
grow or behave normally
An example of a cell cycle control is p53
P53 is a protein that functions to block the cell cycle if the DNA is
damaged
A p53 mutation ( non functioning or reduced levels)is the most frequent
mutation leading to cancer
• A variety of chemical and physical factors can influence cell division.
Important for mammalian cells are growth factors, proteins released by one group of cells that stimulate other cells to divide.
• Each cell type responds specifically to a certain growth factor or combination of factors.
– For example, platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF), produced by platelet blood cells, bind to tyrosine-kinase receptors of fibroblasts, a type of connective tissue cell.
– This triggers a signal-transduction pathway that leads to cell division.

• The role of PDGF is easily seen in cell culture.– Fibroblasts in culture will only divide in the presence of
medium that also contains PDGF.

• Growth factors appear to be a key in density-dependent inhibition of cell division.– Cultured cells normally
divide until they form a single layer on the inner surface of the culture container.
– If a gap is created, the cells will grow to fill the gap.
– At high densities, the amount of growth factors and nutrients is insuffi-cient to allow cell growth and division stops.

• Most animal cells also exhibit anchorage dependence for cell division.– To divide they must be anchored to a substratum,
typically the extracellular matrix of a tissue.– Control appears to be mediated by connections
between the extracellular matrix and plasma membrane proteins and cytoskeletal elements.
• Cancer cells are free of both density-dependent inhibition and anchorage dependence.

tumors
Growing out of control, cancer cells produces malignant tumors– Cancer cells
• divide excessively to form masses called tumors
Tumors can be benign and malignant (cancerous neoplasm)

What is a metastasis?
1.Cancer cells break away from tumor
2. Cancer cells migrate to blood vessels. These cells are able to secrete enzymes that open vessel wall and enter the blood stream or lymph.
3. Cells move with the blood, exit vessel and invade a new site.
4. This new growth on a new site is a metastasis
– Radiation and chemotherapy• Are effective as cancer treatments because they
interfere with cell division
