Cell division occurs through mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells and is used for growth and repair. Meiosis produces four genetically unique haploid gametes and is required for sexual reproduction. It involves two cell divisions: meiosis I separates homologous chromosomes and meiosis II separates sister chromatids. Errors in meiosis can result in aneuploidy and conditions like Down syndrome.

CELL DIVISION
CELL DIVISION Why do cells need to divide? To allow an organism to grow To pass on genetic material To assist an organism’ survival
CELL DIVISION 2 types of cell division Mitosis -daughter cells are genetically identical Meiosis -daughter cells are genetically different
CELL DIVISION Mitosis Literally refers to the division of the nucleus 5 stages : Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase
CELL DIVISION Interphase Cell is not dividing but also not dormant Cell is active and growing and also preparing for division Sometimes called resting phase but this is inaccurate (real resting phase is G 0 ) DNA/chromosomes not visible (unwound)
CELL DIVISION Interphase: 4 stages Gap 0 (G 0 ): - Cell rest cycle - may be temporary or permanent (where cells are functional but no new cells are produced (i.e. neuron) G 0
CELL DIVISION Interphase: 4 stages Gap 1 (G 1 ): - Rapid growth (4hr) - cell takes in nutrients for energy, growth, repair - Cells either go into S or G 0 after G1 G 0
CELL DIVISION Interphase: 4 stages S phase (S): - 10 hrs - DNA synthesis/ replication - the cell duplicates its genetic material to make an identical copy of its DNA G 0
CELL DIVISION Interphase: 4 stages Gap 2 phase (G 2 ): - 3-4hr - second period of growth in preparation for cell division -cell grows larger in size G 0
CELL DIVISION S phase (S): Let’s take a closer look - the cell duplicates its DNA - what is DNA? Deoxyribose nucleic acid - Contains genetic information in coded form
CELL DIVISION S phase (S): Let’s take a closer look Deoxyribose nucleic acid Made of: Sugar (deoxyribose) Phosphate (PO 4 ) Nucleotide base
CELL DIVISION S phase (S): Let’s take a closer look Nucleotide bases enable the coding of genetic information A – adenine T – Thymine G – Guanine C – Cytosine
CELL DIVISION S phase (S): Let’s take a closer look The “coded” information is a sequence of nucleotide bases A – adenine T – Thymine G – Guanine C – Cytosine Every 3 nucleotide bases code for 1 specific amino acid (so every 3 bases, called a codon , is one instruction)
CELL DIVISION S phase (S): Let’s take a closer look 3 nucleotide bases code for 1 amino acid This is the genetic language For example, A C G makes Threonine
CELL DIVISION S phase (S): Let’s take a closer look A attracts T G attracts C The bases attract through HYDROGEN BONDING and fit together like Lego pieces This is called complimentary base pairing.
CELL DIVISION S phase (S): Let’s take a closer look Adenine & Guanine are purines ( 2-ring nitrogenous bases) Thymine & Cytosine are pyrimidines ( 1-ring nitrogenous bases)
CELL DIVISION S phase (S): Let’s take a closer look A and T: bond together with 2 hydrogen bonds C and G: bond together with 3 hydrogen bonds
CELL DIVISION S phase (S): Let’s take a closer look Which ones are A&T? Which ones are C&G? A&T A&T C&G C&G
CELL DIVISION S phase (S): Let’s take a closer look How does DNA replicate? STEP 1: Separation of the two DNA strands
CELL DIVISION S phase (S): Let’s take a closer look How does DNA replicate? STEP 2: Each “parental strand” now attracts respective nucleotide bases to form a new chain New chain Nucleotide bases
CELL DIVISION S phase (S): Let’s take a closer look How does DNA replicate? STEP 3: The nucleotides are connected to form a sugar-phosphate backbone
CELL DIVISION S phase (S): Let’s take a closer look How does DNA replicate? But DNA is a very long molecule. Does replication start from one end? Not usually. It can start at various points in “bubbles”
CELL DIVISION S phase (S): Let’s take a closer look How does DNA replicate? 3 models of replication
CELL DIVISION S phase (S): Let’s take a closer look … Back to interphase where DNA duplication occurs. Normally After duplication DNA duplication
CELL DIVISION How does all of the DNA remain organized in the nucleus? Why does it not tangle?
CELL DIVISION DNA strands are wrapped around histone proteins which act as “ spools ”
CELL DIVISION Histone proteins that have been wrapped with DNA form “ nucleosomes ”
CELL DIVISION Moving into mitosis… After interphase, the cell may enter mitotic (M) phase: A process by which somatic cells grow and divide Cells come from pre-existing cells Parent cell divides to produce two new identical daughter cells Cell division occurs through: A) Mitosis – process of dividing nuclear material B) Cytokinesis – Process of separating the cytoplasm and its contents into equal parts
CELL DIVISION Prophase nuclear membrane breaks down chromosomes shorten and thicken Other structures important for mitosis are also forming (i.e. the centrioles )
CELL DIVISION Prophase chromosomes shorten and thicken into X-shaped things
CELL DIVISION Prophase A centromere holds two copies of the same chromosome together Each copy of a chromosome is called a chromatid
CELL DIVISION Prophase A centromere holds two copies of the same chromosome together Remember, every chromosome has been duplicated during the S phase of interphase . Recall this: 2 copies of each chromosome: Mitosis Colors are not accurate Father’s side Mother’s side Father’s side Father’s side Mother’s side Mother’s side
CELL DIVISION Prophase
CELL DIVISION Metaphase Proteins attach to the centromeres creating the kinetochores . Microtubules (spindle fibres) attach at the kinetochores and the chromosomes move to the centre ( the metaphase plate )
CELL DIVISION Metaphase
CELL DIVISION Anaphase Paired chromosomes separate at the kinetochores and move to opposite sides of the cell Motion results from kinetochore movement along the spindle microtubules
CELL DIVISION Telophase Chromatids arrive at opposite poles of cell New membranes form around the daughter nuclei Chromosomes disperse and are no longer visible under the light microscope spindle fibres disperse
CELL DIVISION Cytokinesis Animal cells: the cell membrane pinches (forming a cleavage furrow ) into two daughter cells, each with one nucleus
CELL DIVISION Cytokinesis In plant cells, a cell plate (made of rigid cellulose) is synthesized between the two daughter cells.
CELL DIVISION Mitosis and cytokinesis: Review
CELL DIVISION Mitosis and cytokinesis: Haploid and Diploid Haploid = 1 set of chromosomes (ex. n=23 chromosomes) Diploid = 2 sets of chromosomes (ex. 2n= 46 chromosomes) 2n 4n 4n 2n 2n
CELL DIVISION Karyotype: Photograph of chromosomes taken at the metaphase stage of mitosis. Homologous pairs are identified and placed together. Homologous pair daddy mommy
CELL DIVISION Karyotype: Technique Pretreat cells with a hypotonic solution, which swells them and spreads the chromosomes stop mitosis in metaphase by a solution of colchicine 3) Compressing the preparation on a slide, forcing the chromosomes into a single plane 4) Taking a high resolution photograph 5) Cutting up a photomicrograph and arranging the result into an indisputable karyogram
CELL DIVISION Karyotype: Technique But during mitosis, chromosomes are in DUPLICATED pairs. So each homologous pair consists of 2 X-shaped chromosomes Scientists can cut the photographs so that only one chromatid of every chromosome is displayed
CELL DIVISION Homologous pairs Identified by -chromosome length -centromere position -banding pattern -satellite endings and any other physical characteristics
CELL DIVISION Recall: 2 types of cell division Mitosis -daughter cells are genetically identical Meiosis -daughter cells are genetically different
CELL DIVISION Meiosis: The division of gametes 2 cell divisions (meiosis I and meiosis II) Daughter cells are genetically unique 4 daughter cells are produced Daughter cells are haploid
CELL DIVISION Meiosis I: Prophase I -start with 2x the normal amount of chromosomes -chromosomes condense -nuclear membrane dissolves -centrioles split -chromosomes come together in homologous pairs, forming tetrads -they overlap in a process called synapsis - crossover of chromatids causing exchange of segments of DNA Same as mitosis
CELL DIVISION Meiosis I: Prophase I -chromosomes come together in homologous pairs, forming tetrads -they overlap in a process called synapsis - crossover of chromatids causing exchange of segments of DNA tetrad
CELL DIVISION Meiosis I: Chiasma : crossover point
CELL DIVISION Meiosis I: Metaphase I -chromosomes attach themselves to spindle fibres -chromosomes line up at equatorial plate Anaphase I - Homologous pairs separate and move to opposite poles of the cell Same as mitosis, except the chromosomes are no longer identical . Same as mitosis, except the chromosomes are no longer identical .
CELL DIVISION Meiosis I: Telophase I -cleavage furrow forms -nuclear membrane reforms -chromosomes do NOT un-condense Same as mitosis
CELL DIVISION Meiosis II : Second cell division -cytoplasm separates -cells may become gametes Telophase II -sister chromatids from each chromosome separates and moves to opposite poles Anaphase II -chromosomes line up at equatorial plate Metaphase II -more spindle fibres form -chromosomes attach to spindle Prophase II Meiosis Phase

CELL DIVISION Why is meiosis important? allows continuity 2. ensures genetic diversity within population Diversity is generated through… cross-over (makes diverse chromosomes) random assortment (each gamete is different) random fertilization (random sperm meets with random mature egg)
CELL DIVISION How does this relate to Mendel? Before the process of meiosis was discovered, Mendel’s observations led him to make 2 conclusions: Law of Segregation : 2 alleles for each trait separate during gamete formation (i.e. parents can only pass 1 of their 2 alleles for any trait to their offspring). Monohybrid cross
CELL DIVISION How does this relate to Mendel? 2)Law of Independent Assortment: Alleles from different chromosomes assort independently during gamete formation. For example, the allele for pea shape and the allele for pea color is passed onto offspring without relation to one-another. Dihybrid cross
CELL DIVISION How does this relate to Mendel? All daughter cells are different Made possible by the final division in Meiosis II Made possible by different chromosomes having different alleles
CELL DIVISION How does this relate to Mendel?
