The Cell Cycle

The cell cycle is a repeating sequence of cellular growth and division during the life of an organism.

A cell spends 90 percent of its time in the first three phases of the cycle.

A cell will enter the last two phases of the cell cycle only if it is about to divide.

key checkpoints at which feedback signals from the cell can trigger the next phase of the cell cycle (green light).

Overview of the cell cycle

Bacterial cells divide to reproduce

Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction that produces identical

offspring: Mitosis

Chromosome Structure

ChromosomesChromosomes are the coiled are the coiled up version of DNA.up version of DNA.

They consist of DNA and They consist of DNA and proteins: proteins: histoneshistones and and nonhistonesnonhistones

How ChromosomesCoil

Each half of a chromosome is Each half of a chromosome is an exact copy called a an exact copy called a chromatidchromatid..

Chromatids are attached at the Chromatids are attached at the center called a center called a centromerecentromere..

A gene is a segment of DNA that codes for a protein or RNA molecule.

Chromosome Numbers

All of the cells in the body, other than gametes are Diploid (2n=46 in humans).

Gametes contain only one set of chromosomes: Haploid (n=23 in humans).

Different species have Different species have different numbers of different numbers of chromosomes.chromosomes.

Change in chromosome number

Humans who are missing even one of the 46 chromosomes usually do not survive.

Humans with more than two copies of a chromosome, result in a condition called trisomy.

Abnormalities in chromosome number can be detected by analyzing a karyotype.

Nondisjunction during the production of gametes results in gametes having more or less chromosomes than normal.

Pictures called karyotypes can detect problems after conception.

Karyotypes Explained

When control is lost: cancer

Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cells.

Mutations in genes that control cell division may result in cancer.

3.Centrioles migrate to the poles of the cell.

AnaphaseAnaphase

1.Spindle fibers begin to shorten.

2.Chromatids separate.

3.Chromatids begin moving toward the poles of the cell.

TelophaseTelophase1.Nuclear envelope reforms.

2.Cleavage furrow forms pinching the cytoplasm.

3.Chromosomes uncoil.

4.Cytokinesis begins.

Cytokinesis

During telophase, cytokinesis occurs.

During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm of the cell is divided in half, and the cell membrane grows to enclose each cell.
