CELL CYCLE

• Actively dividing eukaryotic cells pass through

a series of stages.
• It is the complete series of events from one
cell division to the next.
• Consist of 2 phases.
 Phases of the Cell Cycle
• The cell cycle consists of
– Mitotic (M) phase (mitosis and cytokinesis)
– Interphase (cell growth and copying of
chromosomes in preparation for cell division)

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

 • Interphase (about 90% of the cell cycle) can be
divided into subphases
– G1 phase (“first gap”)
– S phase (“synthesis”)
– G2 phase (“second gap”)
• The cell grows during all three phases, but
chromosomes are duplicated only during the S
phase

Gap1 phase

• Metabolic changes prepare the cell for

division. At a certain point – the restriction
point – the cell is committed to division and
moves into the S phase.
• Excluding the chromosomes are duplicated.
• 10 hours duration

Synthesis (S phase)

• DNA synthesis replicates the genetic

material. Each chromosomes now consist of
two sister chromatids.
• DNA replication and chromosomes
duplication occurs.
• 9 hours duration
Insert drawing
Gap2 phase

• Metabolic changes assemble the cytoplasmic

materials necessary for mitosis and
cytokinesis.
• Cell grows and prepares for mitosis.
• 4 hours duration

G1 checkpoint

• The cell will be check if nutrients are

sufficient, grows factors are present, cell size
is adequate and DNA is not DAMAGED.
G2 phase

• Cell will be check if chromosomes replication

is complete and NO DNA DAMAGED AND
once that’s okay the cell will enter the M
phase.
• With the cell with 46 chromosomes and 92
chromatids will divide to produce two
daughter cells, two identical cells with 46
chromosomes and 46 chromatids.
• There are cells also that will go to cell cycle
arrest. These cells belongs to G0.
Cell
division
Overview: The Key Roles of Cell Division
• The ability of organisms to produce more of their
own kind best distinguishes living things from
nonliving matter
• The continuity of life is based on the reproduction
of cells, or cell division

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Mitosis

• The process by which duplicated

chromosomes are separated into two nuclei.
• 1 hour duration
• Mitosis with itself has a few phases within it. It
can be divided into 5 phases.
 • Mitosis is conventionally divided into five phases
– Prophase
– Prometaphase
– Metaphase
– Anaphase
– Telophase
• Cytokinesis overlaps the latter stages of mitosis

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

PROPHASE

• Chromosome materials condenses to form a compact mitotic

chromosome.
• The cytoskeleton disassembled and mitotic spindle is
assembled
• Nuclear envelop also dispersed.
Prometaphase

• Chromosomal microtubule attach to

kinetochore of chromosomes.
• Chromosomes are move to spindle equator
Metaphase

• Chromosomes are aligned along metaphase

plate, attached by chromosomal microtubules
to both tubules.
Anaphase

• Centromere split and chromatids separates

• Chromosomes move to opposite spindles
poles.
• Spindle poles move further apart.
Telophase

• Chromosomes are clustered at opposite

spindle poles.
• Chromosomes become disperse.
• Nuclear envelop will assembles
• Organelles will reforms.
CYTOKINESIS
Cytokinesis: A Closer Look
• In animal cells, cytokinesis occurs by a process
known as cleavage, forming a cleavage furrow
• In plant cells, a cell plate forms during cytokinesis

 • In unicellular organisms, division of one cell
reproduces the entire organism
• Multicellular organisms depend on cell division for
– Development from a fertilized cell
– Growth
– Repair
• Cell division is an integral part of the cell cycle,
the life of a cell from formation to its own division

Concept 12.1: Most cell division results in
genetically identical daughter cells
• Most cell division results in daughter cells with
identical genetic information, DNA
• The exception is meiosis, a special type of division
that can produce sperm and egg cells

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

 Cellular Organization of the Genetic
Material

• All the DNA in a cell constitutes the cell’s genome

• A genome can consist of a single DNA molecule
(common in prokaryotic cells) or a number of DNA
molecules (common in eukaryotic cells)
• DNA molecules in a cell are packaged into
chromosomes

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure 12.3

 • Eukaryotic chromosomes consist of chromatin, a
complex of DNA and protein that condenses
during cell division
• Every eukaryotic species has a characteristic
number of chromosomes in each cell nucleus
• Somatic cells (nonreproductive cells) have two
sets of chromosomes
• Gametes (reproductive cells: sperm and eggs)
have half as many chromosomes as somatic cells

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

 Distribution of Chromosomes During
Eukaryotic Cell Division
• In preparation for cell division, DNA is replicated
and the chromosomes condense
• Each duplicated chromosome has two sister
chromatids (joined copies of the original
chromosome), which separate during cell division
• The centromere is the narrow “waist” of the
duplicated chromosome, where the two
chromatids are most closely attached

 • During cell division, the two sister chromatids of
each duplicated chromosome separate and move
into two nuclei
• Once separate, the chromatids are called
chromosomes

 • Eukaryotic cell division consists of
– Mitosis, the division of the genetic material in the
nucleus
– Cytokinesis, the division of the cytoplasm
• Gametes are produced by a variation of cell
division called meiosis
• Meiosis yields nonidentical daughter cells that
have only one set of chromosomes, half as many
as the parent cell

Concept 12.2: The mitotic phase alternates
with interphase in the cell cycle
• In 1882, the German anatomist Walther Flemming
developed dyes to observe chromosomes during
mitosis and cytokinesis

The Mitotic Spindle: A Closer Look
• The mitotic spindle is a structure made of
microtubules that controls chromosome movement
during mitosis
• In animal cells, assembly of spindle microtubules
begins in the centrosome, the microtubule
organizing center
• The centrosome replicates during interphase,
forming two centrosomes that migrate to opposite
ends of the cell during prophase and
prometaphase

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

 • An aster (a radial array of short microtubules)
extends from each centrosome
• The spindle includes the centrosomes, the spindle
microtubules, and the asters

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

 • During prometaphase, some spindle microtubules
attach to the kinetochores of chromosomes and
begin to move the chromosomes
• Kinetochores are protein complexes associated
with centromeres
• At metaphase, the chromosomes are all lined up
at the metaphase plate, an imaginary structure at
the midway point between the spindle’s two poles

Binary Fission in Bacteria
• Prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) reproduce by
a type of cell division called binary fission
• In binary fission, the chromosome replicates
(beginning at the origin of replication), and the
two daughter chromosomes actively move apart
• The plasma membrane pinches inward, dividing
the cell into two

The Evolution of Mitosis
• Since prokaryotes evolved before eukaryotes,
mitosis probably evolved from binary fission
• Certain protists exhibit types of cell division that
seem intermediate between binary fission and
mitosis

Concept 12.3: The eukaryotic cell cycle is
regulated by a molecular control system
• The frequency of cell division varies with the type
of cell
• These differences result from regulation at the
molecular level
• Cancer cells manage to escape the usual controls
on the cell cycle

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Evidence for Cytoplasmic Signals
• The cell cycle appears to be driven by specific
chemical signals present in the cytoplasm
• Some evidence for this hypothesis comes from
experiments in which cultured mammalian cells at
different phases of the cell cycle were fused to
form a single cell with two nuclei

The Cell Cycle Control System
• The sequential events of the cell cycle are directed
by a distinct cell cycle control system, which is
similar to a clock
• The cell cycle control system is regulated by both
internal and external controls
• The clock has specific checkpoints where the cell
cycle stops until a go-ahead signal is received

G2 checkpoint
 • For many cells, the G1 checkpoint seems to be the
most important
• If a cell receives a go-ahead signal at the G1
checkpoint, it will usually complete the S, G2, and
M phases and divide
• If the cell does not receive the go-ahead signal, it
will exit the cycle, switching into a nondividing
state called the G0 phase

The Cell Cycle Clock: Cyclins and Cyclin-
Dependent Kinases
• Two types of regulatory proteins are involved in
cell cycle control: cyclins and cyclin-dependent
kinases (Cdks)
• Cdks activity fluctuates during the cell cycle
because it is controled by cyclins, so named
because their concentrations vary with the cell
cycle
• MPF (maturation-promoting factor) is a cyclin-Cdk
complex that triggers a cell’s passage past the G2
checkpoint into the M phase

Stop and Go Signs: Internal and External
Signals at the Checkpoints
• An example of an internal signal is that
kinetochores not attached to spindle microtubules
send a molecular signal that delays anaphase
• Some external signals are growth factors,
proteins released by certain cells that stimulate
other cells to divide
• For example, platelet-derived growth factor
(PDGF) stimulates the division of human fibroblast
cells in culture

 • A clear example of external signals is density-
dependent inhibition, in which crowded cells
stop dividing
• Most animal cells also exhibit anchorage
dependence, in which they must be attached to a
substratum in order to divide
• Cancer cells exhibit neither density-dependent
inhibition nor anchorage dependence

Loss of Cell Cycle Controls in Cancer Cells
• Cancer cells do not respond normally to the body’s
control mechanisms
• Cancer cells may not need growth factors to grow
and divide
– They may make their own growth factor
– They may convey a growth factor’s signal without
the presence of the growth factor
– They may have an abnormal cell cycle control
system

 • A normal cell is converted to a cancerous cell by a
process called transformation
• Cancer cells that are not eliminated by the
immune system form tumors, masses of abnormal
cells within otherwise normal tissue
• If abnormal cells remain only at the original site,
the lump is called a benign tumor
• Malignant tumors invade surrounding tissues and
can metastasize, exporting cancer cells to other
parts of the body, where they may form additional
tumors
