Evidence for endosymbiotic origin of Evidence for endosymbiotic origin of mitochondria and chloroplasts is very strong mitochondria and chloroplasts is very strong
• Organelles and bacteria have similar size and structure.• Mitochondria and chloroplasts replicate by binary fission. • Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA
(circular like bacteria).• They have their own transfer RNA and ribosomes and
produce some of their own enzymes. • The ribosomes are structurally like bacteria • Analysis of rRNA gene sequence identifies the gene as in
the bacterial clade.

Origin of Nucleus and Endoplasmic ReticulumOrigin of Nucleus and Endoplasmic Reticulum
The nucleus may have originated as a specialization of a portion of the internal membrane. Note this would have generated a double membraneNote this would have generated a double membrane
As the cell evolved toward larger size, the endoplasmic reticulum likely evolved as an adaptation to increase surface area.
24Copyright © 2002 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Endosymbiosis likely happened while the oxygen was “poisoning” anaerobic archaea-eukarya ancestor. Aerobic respiration and photosynthesis evolved once in bacteria and were then imported into the eukarya lineage
25
The three domains seem to have genomes that are chimeric mixes of DNA that was transferred across the boundaries of the domains
This has lead some researchers to suggest replacing the classical tree with a web-like phylogeny
27
STEPS IN BACTERIAL CELL DIVISIONSTEPS IN BACTERIAL CELL DIVISION
1. chromosome attaches to one point on plasma membrane
2. chromosome is replicated: replicated chromosome attached to plasma membrane at a different nearby point
3. cell elongates – new plasma membrane is added between chromosomes, pushing them towards opposite ends of cell
4. plasma membrane grows inward at middle of cell
5. parent cell is divided into two identical daughter cells
28
Bacterial Cell DivisionBacterial Cell Division DNA replication produces two copies of the DNA replication produces two copies of the
genomegenome The cell grows to approximately double in sizeThe cell grows to approximately double in size The two chromosomes separate as the cell The two chromosomes separate as the cell

29
Why does a cell divide?Why does a cell divide?
-As a cell absorbs nutrients and gets larger, the volume of the cell increases faster than the surface area.
-Therefore, the demands of the cell (the volume) exceed the ability of the cell to bring in nutrients and export wastes.
Solution?Solution? Divide into two smaller cells Divide into two smaller cells
30
When is cell division occurring?When is cell division occurring?
Different kinds of cells divide at different rates:Yeast cell – 2 hoursAmoeba – a few daysHuman embryo cell – 15-20 minutesHuman adult cell – 8 hours to 100 days
GROWTH -increase number of cellsREPAIR -replace lost cells due to injury, diseaseCANCER – Abnormally high rates of cell division due to mutation
31
AgingAging
All cells die after a certain number of divisions (programmed cell death). At any given time some cells are dividing and some cells are dying.
Childhood Cell division > cell death
Adulthood Cell division = cell death
Aging Cell division < cell death
32
THE CELL CYCLE: THE CELL CYCLE: 3 phases: Interphase-Mitosis-Cytokinesis3 phases: Interphase-Mitosis-Cytokinesis
Interphase- 90% of the time
G1: Little new cell absorbs nutrients and grows larger (protein synthesis).
S phase: Synthesis of new DNA (DNA replication) for daughter cells in preparation for mitosis.
G2: Cell continues to grow …… gets too large, needs to divide.
35
How long is one cell cycle? Depends. Eg. Skin cells every 24 hours. Some bacteria every 1-2 hours. Some cells every 3 months. Nerve cells, never. Cancer cells very short.
Programmed cell death: Each cell type will only do so many cell cycles then die. (Apoptosis)
37
Mammalian Cell CycleG1:G1: Highly variable,
Absent in rapidly dividing cells, long in slow-growing cells
S:S: 6-8 hours G2:G2: 3-6 hours

Mitotic Cell DivisionMitotic Cell Division2 major processes:
• mitosis – nuclear division => preserves diploid number of chromosomes
• cytokinesis – cytoplasmic division => cell divides into two daughter cells
40
MitosisMitosis4 phases:
1st – Prophase (3 major events)
2nd – Metaphase
3rd – Anaphase
4th – Telophase and Cytokinesis
41
1. Prophase1. Prophase
i) chromosomes condense
• 3 major events
ii) spindle fibers form
iii) nuclear membrane breaks down
42
Mitotic Spindle FormsMitotic Spindle Forms
• spindle fibers are specialized microtubules• spindle fibers radiate out from centrioles,
forming the “aster”• centrioles occur in pairs, and are duplicated
during interphase• one pair of centrioles migrates to one pole of
cell, the other pair migrates to opposite pole of cell
43
Spindle Captures ChromosomesSpindle Captures Chromosomes
1. When spindle fibers are fully formed nuclear envelope disintegrates and nucleolus disappears
2. Spindle fibers attach to chromosomes at the kinetochore, a structure located at the centromere
3.Other spindle fibers do NOT attach to chromosomes, but retain free ends that overlap at cell’s equator => “free spindle fibers”
4. Function of spindle fibers is to organize division of sister chromatids into daughter cells
44
• Prophase – Inside nucleus
• Chromosomes condense• Nucleoli begin to break down and disappear
– Outside nucleus• Centrosomes move apart and migrate to opposite ends
of the cell• Interphase microtubules disappear and are replaced by
microtubules that grow from the MTOC
45
• Prometaphase– Nuclear envelope breaks down– Microtubules invade nuclear area– Chromosomes attach to microtubules through
kinetochore– Mitotic spindle includes other microtubules that
are involved in the process
46
•Metaphase – Chromosomes move towards imaginary equator called
metaphase plate– This occurs with opposite forces of the microtubules:
pulling, pushing and sliding– Note, no nuclear membrane, the chemical changes keep
the membrane bits from reforming the nuclear membrane
47
• Anaphase– Separation of sister chromatids allows each
chromatid to be pulled towards spindle pole connected to by kinetochore microtubule
48
3. Anaphase3. Anaphase
• spindle fibers attached to kinetochores shorten and pull chromatids poleward
• free spindle fibers lengthen and push poles of cell apart
AnaphaseAnaphase AA
AnaphaseAnaphase BB
49
• Telophase– Spindle microtubules disassemble– Nuclear envelope forms around group of
chromosomes at each pole– Nucleoli reappear– Chromosomes decondense
50
CytokinesisCytokinesis Cytokinesis occurs, enclosing each daughter nucleus
into a separate cell Starts during anaphase and ends in telophase Animal cells: contractile ring pinches cells into two
halves Plant cells: cell plate forms dividing cell into two
halves
52
Animal cells: – microfilaments attached to plasma membrane
form a ring around equator of cell – ring contracts, like a drawstring, dividing the
cytoplasm
Plant cells:- stiff cell wall makes pinching impossible- Golgi complex buds off vesicles filled with
carbohydrate- vesicles line up at equator and fuse, producing a
structure called the cell plate- cell plate becomes new cell wall between the two
cells
