THE CELL CYCLE /CELL DIVISION /CELL
REPRODUCTION
•The CELL CYCLE is an ordered sequence of events in
which a body cell duplicates its contents and divides in two
new cell (daughter cells).
•The CELL CYCLE is the period between two cell division.
•Also known as cell division or cell reproduction.
•Three types of cell division, or cell reproduction
Prokaryotes (bacteria)
Binary fission divides forming two new identical
cells
Eukaryotes
oMitosis
-Cell or organism growth.
-Replacement or repair of damaged cells.
oMeiosis
Why do cells divide?
1: DNA Overload
◦ If cells grow without limit, an “information
crisis” would develop
◦ DNA cannot serve the needs of the increasing
size of cell
2: Exchange of materials
◦ Food and oxygen have to cross membrane
very quickly
◦ Waste must get out
◦ If cell is too large, this occurs too slowly and
cell will die.
3: For growth , repair & reproduction.
PROKARYOTIC CELL DIVISION
 Binary fission
◦ 3 main steps:
1: DNA Replication—DNA is copied, resulting in 2
identical chromosomes.
2: Chromosome Segregation—2 chromosomes separate,
move towards ends (poles) of cell.
3: Cytokinesis—cytoplasm divides, forming 2 cells.
◦ Each new daughter cell is
genetically identical to parent cell.
•Prokaryotes have no nucleus.
•They have a single circular chromosome.
•Prokaryotes simply divide their cells in two by binary
fission.
Eukaryotes Cell Division
 Eukaryotes must divide their nucleus
(and other organelles such as
mitochondria) in preparation for cell
division (mitosis or meiosis)
 Before the nucleus divides the genetic
material replicates (duplicates)
 Cell cycle has two parts:
◦ Growth and preparation (Interphase)
◦ Cell division (M Phase- Mitosis or
Meiosis)
 Nuclear division (Mitosis/Karyokinesis)
 Cytokinesis (Cytoplasm division)
INTERPHASE
 INTERPHASE: Period of growth and DNA replication
between cell divisions.
 Three phases:
◦ G1 Phase (First Gap Phase):
 Cell increases in size and volume.
 Cell metabolically active.
 Duplicates organelles and cytosolic components.
 Centrosome replication begins.
◦ S Phase (Synthesis of DNA):
 Replication of chromosomes (DNA replication /
duplication).
◦ G2 Phase (Second Gap Phase):
 Organelles double.
 New cytoplasm forms.
 Cell growth continues (Enzymes and proteins are
synthesized).
 Centrosome replication completed.

Terminology
 Chromatin Material-
Thin threadlike fibrous form of DNA and
proteins in nucleus (uncondensed
chromosomes).
 Chromatid-
Single condensed chromosome
(condensed chromosome).
 Sister chromatids-
Identical structure of homologus
condensed chromosome.
 Centromere –
Point where sister chromatid
/ two chromatids are joined together.
• Kinetochore-
At the outside of each centromere is
a protein complex (attachment site for
mitotic spindle).
• Diploid-
Two sets of chromosomes (2n),in humans 23
pairs or 46 total.
• Haploid-
One set of chromosome (n),in humans 23
chromosomes (Gametes or sex chromosome).
• Homologous pair-
Each chromosome in pair are identical (Carry
genes from same trait).
only one pair is different- sex chromosome (X or
Y)
• Tetrad-
Four chromatids (2 homologous
sister chromatid pairs) form
a structure during meiosis.
• Synapsis -
Synapsis (also called syndesis) is the pairing of two
homologous chromosomes that occurs during meiosis.
• Crossing-over -
The exchange of genetic material between homologous
chromosomes (In prophase-I of meiosis).
•Genetic recombination –
It is result of Crossing-over - that is, the formation of new
combinations of genes.
CELL DIVISION- Decoding Cell Division: The Dance of Life's Continuity
MITOSIS
(SOMATIC CELL DIVISION)
•The process of cell division which results in the
production of two daughter cells from a single
parent cell.
•The daughter cells are identical to one another
and to the original parent cell.
•Process that divides cell nucleus to produce two
new nuclei each with a complete set of
chromosomes.
•Mitosis is the basis of asexual reproduction.
Mitosis complete
by two process-
1) NUCLEAR DIVISION (KARYOKINESIS)
4 sub-phases:
1st – Prophase
2nd – Metaphase
3rd – Anaphase
4th – Telophase
followed by:
2) CYTOPLASMIC DIVISION (CYTOKINESIS)
Interphase
Cytokinesis
Nuclear division
1) NUCLEAR DIVISION
(KARYOKINESIS)
 Nuclear division is most important part of
eukaryotic cell division.
 In Mitosis ,as noted earlier, is the
distribution of two sets of chromosomes
into two separate nuclei equally.
 Biologists divide the process into four
phases: Prophase, Metaphase,
Anaphase, Telophase.
•Chromosome condense or visible (Chromatin
materials/fibers to chromatids to sister chromatid
pair).
•Two homologous chromatids attached at a
constricted region called a centromere (holds the
chromatid pair together).
•Centrioles migrate to the poles (only in animals).
•Microtubules form (Mitotic spindle/Spindle fiber)
from centrioles.
Prophase
•At the outside of each centromere is a protein
complex known as kinetochore.
•Microtubules attach to the kinetochore for the
pulling and pushing of chromosomes.
•The nuclear envelope breaks down or starts
disappear.
Metaphase
 Chromosomes line up at the center of the cell through
the pulling pushing movement of mitotic spindle
(Microtubules).
 The centomeres of the chromatids pairs at the exact
center of the mitotic spindle.
 This midpoint makes a imaginary line called
metaphase plate.
• Centromeres split out (Sister chromatids
sreparate).
• Spindle fibers pull one set of chromosomes
(chromatids) to each pole.
• Free spindle fibers lengthen and push poles of
cell apart.
Anaphase
Telophase
• The final stage of mitosis.
• Chromosomes uncoil (chromatids to chromatin material).
• Spindle fibers disappears.
• Nuclear envelopes form around both groups of
chromosomes.
• Cytokinesis occurs, enclosing each daughter nucleus into
a separate cell.
• Cleavage furrow forms on plasma
membrane ( A constricted ring at
the center of plasma membrane
due to actin protein).
2) CYTOPLASMIC DIVISION
(CYTOKINESIS)
 Occurs at end of Mitosis.
 Cytokinesis through the formation of
cleavage furrow (A ring of microtubules
contract , pinching the cell in half).
Division of the cytoplasm to form 2 new
daughter cells.
 Organelles are divided.
Daughter cells are genetically identical.

MeIOSIS
(REPRODUCTIVE CELL DIVISION /GERMCELL
DIVISION)
•Meiosis is the type of cell division by which germ
cells (eggs and sperm) are produced.
•One parent cell produces four daughter cells.
•Daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes
found in the original parent cell.
•Meiosis shuffles genes in new combinations.
A division of the nucleus/cell that reduces chromosome
number by half (forms four haploid cells from a diploid cell)
•Meiosis results in genetically different cells.
•Meiosis and fertilization are the basis of sexual reproduction.
•During meiosis, DNA replicates once, but the nucleus divides
twice.
•Completed in two stages- Meiosis-I or Meiosis-II.
•Four sub-phases described for each stages.
Meiosis complete in two stages-
1) MEIOSIS-I

CELL DIVISION- Decoding Cell Division: The Dance of Life's Continuity
 Sex cells divide to produce GAMETES (sperm or egg).
 Gametes have HALF the numbers of chromosomes.
 Occurs only in GONADS (testes or ovaries).
 Male: SPERMATOGENESIS – Formation of
sperm.
 Female: OOGENESIS – Formation of egg or
ova/ovum
 Heredity : Way of transferring the genetic information to
offspring.
 Chromosome theory of heredity: “Chromosomes
carry genes”.
 Gene : Unit of heredity.

  • 20. 2) CYTOPLASMIC DIVISION (CYTOKINESIS)  Occurs at end of Mitosis.  Cytokinesis through the formation of cleavage furrow (A ring of microtubules contract , pinching the cell in half). Division of the cytoplasm to form 2 new daughter cells.  Organelles are divided. Daughter cells are genetically identical.
  • 23. MeIOSIS (REPRODUCTIVE CELL DIVISION /GERMCELL DIVISION) •Meiosis is the type of cell division by which germ cells (eggs and sperm) are produced. •One parent cell produces four daughter cells. •Daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes found in the original parent cell. •Meiosis shuffles genes in new combinations. A division of the nucleus/cell that reduces chromosome number by half (forms four haploid cells from a diploid cell)
  • 24. •Meiosis results in genetically different cells. •Meiosis and fertilization are the basis of sexual reproduction. •During meiosis, DNA replicates once, but the nucleus divides twice. •Completed in two stages- Meiosis-I or Meiosis-II. •Four sub-phases described for each stages.
  • 25. Meiosis complete in two stages- 1) MEIOSIS-I A) NUCLEAR DIVISION (KARYOKINESIS) 4 sub-phases: Prophase-I Metaphase-I Anaphase-I Telophase-I followed by: B) CYTOPLASMIC DIVISION-I (CYTOKINESIS-I) Followed by: 2) MEIOSIS-II A) NUCLEAR DIVISION (KARYOKINESIS) 4 sub-phases: Prophase-II Metaphase-II Anaphase-II Telophase-II followed by: B) CYTOPLASMIC DIVISION-II (CYTOKINESIS-II)
  • 27.  Sex cells divide to produce GAMETES (sperm or egg).  Gametes have HALF the numbers of chromosomes.  Occurs only in GONADS (testes or ovaries).  Male: SPERMATOGENESIS – Formation of sperm.  Female: OOGENESIS – Formation of egg or ova/ovum  Heredity : Way of transferring the genetic information to offspring.  Chromosome theory of heredity: “Chromosomes carry genes”.  Gene : Unit of heredity.

  • 32. 1) MEIOSIS-I A) NUCLEAR DIVISION (KARYOKINESIS) Prophase-I  Longest and most complex phase  90% of the meiotic process is spent in prophase-I.  Chromosomes condense.  Nuclear envelop & nucleolus disappears.  Centromeres moves to opposite poles.  Synapsis occurs: Homologous chromosomes come together to form a tetrad.  Tetrad is two chromosomes or four chromatids (sister and nonsister chromatids).  Crossing over (variation) may occur between non sister chromatids at the chiasmata.  Crossing over: Segment of non sister chromatids break and reattach to the other chromatid.  Chiasmata (Chiasma): The site of crossing over.
  • 33. Prophase I - Synapsis Homologous chromosomes sister chromatids sister chromatids Tetrad
  • 34. Homologous Chromosomes  Pair of chromosomes (maternal and paternal) that are similar in shape and size.  Homologous pairs (tetrads) carry genes controlling the same inherited traits.  Each locus (position of a gene) is in the same position on homologues.  Humans have 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes. a. 22 pairs of autosomes b. 01 pair of sex chromosomes
