LECTURE 9: MITOSIS AND CYTOKINESIS

INTRODUCTION

1. Cell division is accomplished by • MITOSIS = division of chromosomes and • CYTOKINESIS = division of the cytoplasm

2. Mitosis is the division of somatic cells in which the appropriate number of chromosomes is maintained

3. A somatic cell is a body cell of an organism or a cell that is not involved in reproduction of a new organism. Somatic cells divide to recreate themselves

4. Cytokinesis is division of the cytoplasm to produce two daughter cells, usually begun during telophase

5. Difference between animals and plants: plants are divided by the formation of a cell plate (=pelat), where animal cells are divided through the formation of a cell cleavage (=belahan). Cell plate materials originate in the golgi complex.

INTRODUCTION

4. When the somatic cell has its complete complement of chromosomes it is said to be in the diploid condition

5. At the end of mitosis daughter cells are diploid

Terminology Genome : cell’s genetic information Somatic : body cells Gametes : reproductive cells (sperm and

egg cells) Chromosomes : DNA molecules Diploid (2n) : 2 sets of chromosomes Haploid (1n) : 1 set of chromosomes

BASIC PRINCIPLECell Division: Key Roles

KRT-2008 6

Coordination of Mitosis and CytokinesisCell Division demands coordination of DNA replication (Mitosis) and division of the cytoplasm (Cytokinesis).

Cell Division at cellular level

What’s so important about cell division?

The process

The Knit of Identity - Mitosis Precisely and Evenly Divides Duplicated Chromosomes

Precisely dividing the duplicated chromosomes has the consequence of providing each new cell with an identical and complete set of genetic instructions.

Mitosis Precisely and Evenly Divides Duplicated Chromosomes

Cytokinesis is the process of cell division and it is distinct and separable from mitosis.

DNA is Packaged into Chromosomes

The packaging is impressive – 2 meters of human DNA fit into a sphere about 0.000005 meters in diameter.

DNA in the cell is virtually always associated with proteins.

The Link Between DNA Replication and Chromosome Duplication

KRT-2008 19

DNA is Condensed into Visible Chromosomes Only For Brief Periods in

the Life of a Cell

95% of the time, chromosomes are like this.

Easily visible chromosomes are apparent perhaps 5% of the time in an actively growing cell and less in a non-growing cell.

A normal human karyotype

Boy or girl?

Note that almost all chromosomes come in homologous pairs.

A Karyotype is an arranged picture of chromosomes at their most condensed State

The Cell Cycle

KRT-2008 22

From Birth to Rebirth, a Cell Progresses Through Characteristic Stages That Constitute the Cell Cycle

In multicellular organisms like us, progress through the cell cycle is carefully regulated.

KRT-2008 23

The Cell Cycle1. Interphase (90% of

cycle) G1 phase~ growth S phase~ synthesis of

DNA G2 phase~ preparation

for cell division2. Mitotic phase3. Mitosis~ nuclear

division4. Cytokinesis~

cytoplasm division

INTERPHASE - It is the time between divisions

Stages of mitosis

KRT-2008 30

Stages of mitosis

PROPHASE, METAPHASE, ANAPHASE,TELOPHASE

1. Prophase: Chromosomes condense and become visible,

each Chromosome contains several cm of DNA condensed into 5 – 10 micrometers.

During the S Phase each chromosome has been duplicated into a sister chromatid. (A chromotid is one of the two halves of duplicated chromosomes)

S Phase = synthesis of DNA

KRT-2008 32

Prometaphase

Nuclear membrane fragments

Spindle interaction with chromosomes

Kinetochore develops

KRT-2008 33

Centrosomes at opposite poles Centromeres are aligned (=disejajarkan) Kinetochores of sister chromatids

attached to microtubules (spindle)

2. Metaphase: 1. Chromosomes line up along the cell

“equator”.2. The cell itself condenses and the

chromosomes are more clearly visible than during any other phase of mitosis

KRT-2008 34

Paired centromeres separate; sister chromatids liberated

Chromosomes move to opposite poles Each pole now has a complete set of

chromosomes

3. Anaphase1. is defined as the sister chromatids begin

to separate2. By now each chromatid is an independent

and functional chromosome3. The chromosomes are pulled toward

opposite poles. Anaphase is complete when a complete set of chromosomes reaches each pole.

4. Telophase: 1. The final stage of mitosis, chromosomes

uncoil (= mengurai) into chomatin threads

2. A nuclear envelope forms around each set of chromosomes, nucleoli appear

• Daughter nuclei form• Nuclear envelopes arise• Chromatin becomes less coiled (=

menggulung)• Two new nuclei complete mitosis

KRT-2008 36

Structure of a replicatedchromosome

KRT-2008 37

Counting chromosomes and chromatids n = haploid number of

chromosomes Example: the humans have 23

different chromosomes (n=23). Diploid cells have 2n chromosome #. Human diploid cells, have 46

chromosomes (2n=46). c = number of chromatids in

unreplicated (G1) haploid state.

KRT-2008 38

Replication of achromosome during mitosis

1. Frequency of mitosis varies between species or even with location within an organism…skin cell versus nerve cells for example, but under similar conditions the length of the cell cycle is constant for a particular type of cell.

2. The rate and frequency of mitosis in a multicelluar organism must be controlled…

3. The cell requires a protein called maturation promoting factor (MPF). Scientists are still learning how MPF works and controls the cell mitosis.

CONTROLS ON DIVISION

 Read about the effects of Colchicine and the condition of polypoidy

 When mitosis occurs each daughter cell receives exactly the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent

 When a haploid cell undergoes mitosis, two haploid cells are produced.
