CELL CYCLE
Cell cycle refers to the series of events that take place in a cell, resulting in the duplication of DNA and
division of cytoplasm and organelles to produce two daughter cells

 Very important processes in all living organisms


 During the cell division, DNA replication and cell growth takes place
 The sequence of events by which a cell duplicates its genome, synthesizes the other constituents
of the cell and eventually divides into two daughter cells is termed as cell cycle
 Rundolf Virchow suggested “omnis cellula e cellula” means every cell is derived from pre-existing
cells.
 The duration of the cell cycle varies greatly from one cell type to another cell

A single-celled yeast: divide every 90-120 mins


Mammalian liver cell: less than once a year
Muscle cells, nerve cells and RBC: do not divide
CENTROMERE AND KINETOCHORE
Centromere
 Constriction region that divide the chromosome into two chromatids
 It is the site for kinetochore assembly
Kinetochore
 Site of assembly and disassembly of microtubules
 Made of multiple proteins (histones like CENP-A)
 Kinetochore involved in the movement of chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis

What is the difference between chromatin fibre and chromosome?

Chromatin
DNA coiled around histone protein
Chromatid
One half of a duplicated chromosome
Chromosome
Are two chromatids together, made of
condensed chromatin
CELL DIVISION

CELL DIVISION IN PROKARYOTES

CELL DIVISION IN EUKARYOTES


Divided into two main phases:
1. INTERPHASE
2. M PHASE
INTERPHASE
 Long, metabolically active phase between two successive mitotic cell division
 95% of the cell cycle is spent in interphase
 G1 Phase
 The period between the end of M phase and the start of DNA replication
 Metabolically active and continuously grows
 Increase in cell size
 S Phase
 Synthesis phase
 DNA replication takes place
 DNA per cell divides from 2C to 4C but the number of chromosome remains same i.e. 2N
 In animals, centriole also divides in cytoplasm but not in plants due to the absence of centriole
 G2 Phase
 Gap between DNA replication and the initiation of M phase
 Synthesis of proteins required for the synthesis of spindle fibres takes place
 Cell growth continues
 ATP synthesis increases
 G0 Phase
 Quiescent stage or inactive stage
 Metabolically active but do not proliferate
 Reversible or irreversible
M PHASE
 Mitotic phase
 Short phase
 Karyokinesis (division of nucleus)
Cytokinesis (division of cytoplasm)
 After M Phase the cell may enter interphase to repeat the cell division or G0 phase to arrest the cell cycle

 The microtubules of the mitotic spindle separate the chromosomes


 specify the position of the actomyosin contractile ring
