Cell Growth and Divison

The process of cell growth and division involves several stages, each crucial for the replication and proper functioning of cells. During cytokinesis in animal cells, the membrane pinches to form two genetically identical cells, while in plant cells, a cell plate forms to create a new cell wall due to the rigidity of their existing walls.

Section 4

Frontiers in Stem Cell Research
Ethical Issues

Would be killing a human being

Some humans argue that embryo is already living

Embryonic mus be taken from a new embryo

Embryonic cells are Very controversial

Very few issues with Adult cells

Potential Benefits

One way may be to put bone marrow cells into the heart

Researchers hope to reverse effects of heart attacks

Repair/Replace damaged cells and tissues

Repair damaged organs

Make new organs

Stem Cells and Developement
Stem Cells

Adult is Multipotent

Embryonic is Pluripotent

Make Different cells

Unspecialized Cells

2 TypesEmbryonic and Adult

Human Developement

Inner cells for the embryo

Outer cells form tissue to attach to mother

Blastocyst- Hollow ball of cells with a cluster of cells inside

Human embryo forms a blastocyst after 4 days

Multipotent- Can make a FEW kinds of cells

Pluripotent- Can make ANY type of cell

Section 1

Cell Division and Reproduction
Comparing Asexual/Sexual Reproduction

Asexual- Can't adapt to conditions Sexual- Adapts to conditions

Asexual- Genetic Clones Sexual- Genetically Diverse

Asexual- Fast Sexual- Slow

Some organisms can reproduce both ways

Both are survival strategies

Sexual Reproduction

Genetically Diverse

Takes time

Inherit DNA from both parents

Two cells fuse to make one cell

2 Parents

Asexual Reproduction

Child is genetically identical to parent

Population increase quickly

Simple, Efficient, Effective

One cell splits to form Two cells

One Parent

Limits to Cell Size
Divison of the Cell

Solves "Information Overload" and "Cell Volume" problems

Before division, cell replicates DNA

Reduces cell volume

Process is called Cell Division

Cell divides to form two "daughter" cells

Exchanging Materials

Surface Area= l x w Volume= l x w x h

SMALL Surface Area: Volume is bad for cell

Rate of food, oxygen, and waste exchange depends on surface area

Waste needs to be removed quickly

Information Overload

Causes cell to divide

Too much DNA to handle

Happens when cell is too big

DNA does not increase with cell size

Critical Info stored in DNA of cell

Section 3

Cancer
Treatments

New advances have cured some cancers

Chemotherapy also corrupts some normal cells

Chemotherapy (Chemicals)

Targeted Radiation

Surgery

Causes

Sun Tanning

Viral Infection

Defective Genes

Chewing/Smoking Tobacco

Too much Radiation

Section 2

Cytokenesis
Plant Cells

Forms two new plant cells

Cell Plate forms a Cell Wall

Cell Plate forms between the 2 nuclei

Cell Wall isn't flexible enough to pinch

Animal Cells

If done correctly, Cells are genetically identical

Each new cell contains a nucleus and organelles

Cell splits into 2 closely equal parts

Cell Membrane is pinched together

Cytokinesis- Splits cell into two

Mitosis
Telophase

Mitosis is Done

Spindle Fibers break apart

Nuclear Envelope re-forms

Chromosomes untangle into a ball of chromatin

Last Phase

Anaphase

Ends when chromosomes are separated and are in 2 groups

Chromosomes move along spindle fibers to opposite sides of cell

Each half (Chromatid) considered a Chromosome now

Chromosomes are Ripped Apart

3rd Phase

Metaphase

Spindle Fibers attached to each end of chromosomes

Middle of chromosome(Centromere) lined up with each other

Chromosomes Lined Up in Middle

Shortest (Least time)

2nd Phase

Prophase

Spindle Fibers extend from centrioles

Nuclear Envelope Disappears

Chromosomes Appear

Longest (About half of time)

1st Phase

The Cell Cycle
Eukaryotic Cell Cycle

M Phase- Mitosis and Cytokinesis

G2 Phase- Preparation for Mitosis

S Phase- DNA Replication

G1 Phase- Cell Growth

4 Cycles- G1, S, G2, M

Prokaryotic Cell Cycle

Begins when cells have grown to a certain size

Results in Genetically Identical cells

Binary Fission

Form of Asexual Reproduction

Rapid in ideal conditions

Chromosomes
Eukaryotic Chromosomes

Chromosome in Nucleus

Chromosomes are made of coils

Contains Histones and Chromatin

Multiple Chromosomes

X Shaped Chromosome

Prokaryotic Chromosomes

Loop Shaped Chromosome

Single Chromosome holds DNA

Chromosome in Cytoplasm

No nucleus for DNA

Chromosomes- Packages of DNA
