Cellular

Division
1
 Cell Division
All cells are derived from pre-
existing cells
New cells are produced for
growth and to replace damaged or
old cells
Differs in prokaryotes (bacteria)
and eukaryotes (protists, fungi,
plants, & animals)

2
 DNA Replication
DNA must be
copied or Original DNA
strand
replicated
before cell
division Two new,
identical DNA
Each new cell strands
will then have an
identical copy of
the DNA

Duplicated
chromosomes are
called

are held

Called Sister Chromatids 5

The Cell
Cycle
6
Five Phases of the Cell Cycle
G1 - primary growth phase
S – synthesis; DNA replicated
G2 - secondary growth phase
collectively these 3 stages are
called interphase
M - mitosis
C - cytokinesis

7
Cell Cycle

8
Interphase - G1 Stage

1st growth stage after cell

division
Cells mature by making more
cytoplasm & organelles
Cell carries on its normal
metabolic activities

9
 Interphase – S Stage
Synthesis stage
DNA is copied or replicated

10
 Interphase – G2 Stage
2nd Growth Stage
Occurs after DNA has been copied
All cell structures needed for
division are made (e.g. centrioles)
Both organelles & proteins are
synthesized

11
Mitosis

12
 Four Mitotic Stages

Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase

13
 Early Prophase
Chromatin in nucleus condenses to
form visible chromosomes
Mitotic spindle forms from fibers in
cytoskeleton or centrioles (animal)

Nucleolus Cytoplasm

Nuclear Membrane
Chromosomes

14
 Late Prophase
Nuclear membrane & nucleolus are
broken down
Chromosomes continue condensing &
are clearly visible
Spindle fibers called kinetochores
attach to the centromere of each
chromosome
Spindle finishes forming between the
poles of the cell

 Spindle Fibers
The mitotic spindle form from the
microtubules in plants and centrioles
in animal cells
Polar fibers extend from one pole of
the cell to the opposite pole
Kinetochore fibers extend from the
pole to the centromere of the
chromosome to which they attach
Asters are short fibers radiating
from centrioles

Occurs rapidly
Sister
chromatids are
pulled apart to
opposite poles
of the cell by
kinetochore

22
 Telophase
Sister chromatids at opposite
poles
Spindle disassembles
Nuclear envelope forms around
each set of sister chromatids
Nucleolus reappears
CYTOKINESIS occurs
Chromosomes reappear as
chromatin

23
 Cytokinesis
Means division of the cytoplasm
Division of cell into two,
identical halves called daughter
cells.

26
 Daughter Cells of Mitosis
Have the same number of
chromosomes as each other and as
the parent cell from which they
were formed
Identical to each other, but smaller
than parent cell
Must grow in size to become mature
cells (G1 of Interphase)

 Meiosis
Formation of Gametes
(Eggs & Sperm)

43
 Facts About Meiosis
Preceded by interphase which
includes chromosome replication
Two meiotic divisions --- Meiosis
I and Meiosis II
Called Reduction- division
Original cell is diploid (2n)
Four daughter cells produced that
are monoploid (1n)

44
 Facts About Meiosis
Daughter cells contain half the
number of chromosomes as the
original cell
Produces gametes (eggs & sperm)
Occurs in the testes in males
(Spermatogenesis)
Occurs in the ovaries in females
(Oogenesis)

45
 More Meiosis Facts
 Start with 46 double stranded
chromosomes (2n)
After 1 division - 23 double
stranded chromosomes (n)
After 2nd division - 23 single
stranded chromosomes (n)
  Occurs in our germ cells that

produce gametes

46
Why Do we Need Meiosis?
It is the fundamental basis of
sexual reproduction
Two haploid (1n) gametes are
brought together through
fertilization to form a diploid
(2n) zygote

47
Fertilization – “Putting it
all together”
2n = 6

1n =3

48
 Replication of Chromosomes
 Replication is the
process of
duplicating a Occurs in
chromosome Interphase
 Occurs prior to
division
 Replicated copies
are called sister
chromatids
 Held together at
centromere
49

(same genes, Chromatids
different alleles) (same genes,
same alleles)

Homologs separate in meiosis I and

therefore different alleles separate.
50
Meiosis Forms Haploid Gametes
 Meiosis must reduce the chromosome number
by half
 Fertilization then restores the 2n number

54
Tetrads Form in Prophase I

Homologous chromosomes Join to form a

(each with sister chromatids) TETRAD
 

Called Synapsis
55
 Crossing-Over
 Homologous
chromosomes in
a tetrad cross
over each other
 Pieces of
chromosomes or
genes are
exchanged
 Produces
Genetic
recombination in
the offspring
56
Homologous Chromosomes
During Crossing-Over

57
 Crossing-Over

Crossing-over multiplies the already huge

number of different gamete types
produced by independent assortment 58
Metaphase I

Homologous pairs
of chromosomes
align along the
equator of the
cell

59
Anaphase I

Homologs separate and

move to opposite poles.

Sister chromatids remain

attached at their
centromeres.

60
Telophase I

Nuclear envelopes
reassemble.

Spindle disappears.

Cytokinesis divides cell

into two.

61
 Meiosis II
Only one homolog of each
Gene X
chromosome is present in
the cell.
Sister chromatids carry
identical genetic
information.

Meiosis II produces gametes with

one copy of each chromosome and
thus one copy of each gene.
