Major Objectives1. What are the two key roles of mitotic cell division?2. Understand the different phases of the mitotic cell cycle and the regulation of the cell cycle (checkpoints)3. Understand the phases of mitosis4. Know how cytokinesis differs between plant and animal cells

Two key roles of mitotic cell division1. Cell division functions in reproduction, growth, and repair

2. Cell division distributes identical sets of chromosomes to daughter cells

Mitotic Cell Cycle

Interphase (4 subphases)

G0) Phase-Cell leaves cell cycle.G1 Phase-Centered on growth.

Cells increase in size, produce RNA and synthesize protein.

(G1 Checkpoint) ensures that everything is ready for DNA synthesis.

Interphase (4 subphases)

S Phase Synthesis-chromosomes copied.

·To produce two similar daughter cells, the complete DNA instructions in the cell must be duplicated. DNA replication occurs

Interphase (4 subphases)

G2 Phase-Second Gap Phase. Cell completes preparations for cell division.

·Cell will continue to grow and produce new proteins.

(G2 Checkpoint) to determine if the cell can now proceed to enter M (mitosis) and divide.

Cell growth and protein production stop at this stage in the cell cycle.

Division into two similar daughter cells.

(Metaphase Checkpoint) that ensures the cell is ready to complete cell division.

Mitosis or M Phase:

Normal Cells vs Cancer Cells

Cytokinesis-Division of the cytoplasm after mitosis Animals-Cleavage furrow in the cell surface forms and the ring pinches the cell in twoPlants-Cell plate is formed during telophase and the plate enlarges until its membranes fuse with plasma membrane

Mitosis in Plants-A review

 

                              

  Cell prepares for division by:

•replicating DNA and organelles •increasing cell size

Plant Interphase

 Plant Prophase

Cell prepares for nuclear division by:•condensing DNA into movable packages called chromosomes

 Plant Metaphase

Cell prepares chromosomes for division by:•aligning chromosomes at cell equator •attaching spindle fibers from each new daughter cell pole to each chromosome at the centromere

 Plant Anaphase

Chromosomes divide:•spindle fibers pull chromosomes apart •one-half of each chromosome (chromatid) moves to a new daughter cell

Plant Telophase

Cytoplasm divides:•DNA de-condenses and two nuclei form •new cell wall (cell plate) appears between the two nuclei to form two new daughter cells

Mitosis in Animals-A review

ProphaseDouble chromatin chromosomes present and nuclear envelope disappears

MetaphaseDouble chromatin chromosomes lineup in single file on metaphase equator of the cell

AnaphaseCentromeres divide and single chromatin chromosomes move towards opposite poles of cell

TelophaseCytokinesis begins (cleavage furrow). Nuclear envelope begins to reform around single chromatin chromosomes

CytokinesisCytokinesis complete, chromosomes disappear, chromatin reforms, and 2 new daughter cells enter G1 phase cell cycle
