cycles
1. How does random assortment, crossing over
and random fertilization contribute to genetic variation?
2. Define: locus, karyotype, alternation of
What you must know:
The structure of the duplicated
chromosome.
The cell cycle and stages of mitosis.
The role of kinases and cyclin in the
Cell Cycle
: life of a cell from its formation
until it divides
Functions of Cell
Functions of Cell
Division
Division
:
Genome
= all of a cell’s genetic info (DNA)
Prokaryote
Prokaryote
: single, circular chromosome
Eukaryote
Eukaryote
: more than one linear
chromosomes
Eg. Human:46 chromosomes, mouse:
Each chromosome must be duplicated
before cell division
Duplicated chromosome = 2 sister
sister
chromatids
Somatic Cells
Gametes
Body cells
Diploid (2n): 2 of
each type of
chromosome
Divide by mitosis
Humans: 2n = 46
Sex cells
(sperm/egg)
Haploid (n): 1 of
each type of
chromosome
Divide by meiosis
Phases of the Cell Cycle
The
mitotic
phase alternates with
interphase
:
G
1
S
G
2
mitosis
cytokinesis
Interphase (90% of cell cycle)
G
1Phase
: cell grows and carries out normal
functions
S Phase
: duplicates chromosomes
G
2Phase
: prepares for cell division
M Phase (mitotic)
Mitosis
: nucleus divides
Mitosis
:
Prophase
Metaphase
Mitosis
Continuous process with observable structural
features:
Chromosomes become visible (prophase) Alignment at the equator (metaphase)
Separation of sister chromatids (anaphase) Form two daughter cells (telophase &
Cytokinesis
Cytoplasm of cell divided
Cell Cycle Control System
Checkpoint
= control point where
Major Checkpoints
1.1. GG11 checkpoint checkpoint (Most important!)
Controlled by cell size, growth factors, environment “Go” completes whole cell cycle
“Stop” cell enters nondividing state (G0 Phase)
Nerve, muscle cells stay at G0; liver cells called back from G0
2.
2. GG22 checkpoint checkpoint
Controlled by DNA replication completion, DNA Controlled by DNA replication completion, DNA
mutations, cell size mutations, cell size
3.
3. M-spindle (Metaphase) checkpointM-spindle (Metaphase) checkpoint
1. Check spindle fiber (microtubule) attachment to
G
M-spindle Checkpoint:
Mitotic spindle at metaphase
Kinetochore =
proteins
associated with DNA at
centromere
Kinetochore = proteins
associated with DNA at
Internal Regulatory Molecules
• Kinases (cyclin-dependent kinase, Cdk): protein enzyme controls cell cycle; active when connected to cyclin
• Cyclins: proteins which attach to kinases to activate them;
Internal Regulatory Molecules
MPF
= maturation-promoting factor
Growth Factor:
proteins released by other cells
to stimulate cell division
Density-Dependent Inhibition:
crowded cells
normally stop dividing; cell-surface protein binds
to adjoining cell to inhibit growth
Anchorage Dependence:
cells must be attached
to another cell or ECM to divide
Cancer Cells
Cancer: disorder in which cells lose the ability to control growth by not responding to regulation.
multistep process of about 5-7 genetic changes
(for a human) for a cell to transform
loses anchorage dependency and
density-dependency regulation
Tumors = mass of abnormal cells
Benign tumor: lump of cells remain at
original site
Malignant tumor: invasive - impairs
functions of 1+ organs (called cancer)
Metastasis: cells separate from tumor and
Cancer Prevention
Anyone can get cancer but there are ways to
minimize risk:
Don’t smoke, legal or illegal (includes
hookahs, chew, 2nd-hand smoke)
Use sun protection
Exercise and keep weight at ideal level
Eat 5-7 servings of fruit and veggies a day
Use screening/preventative
measures-breast/testicle/mole checks
