cell growth and division

Cell division is a complex process essential for growth and development. In animals, cytokinesis involves the cell membrane pinching inward until the cell splits into two, each with its own nucleus and organelles.

Cell Growth and Division

Section 4

Frontiers in Stem Cell Research
Ethical Issues

Most people are confused between stem cells and embryonic cells

The use of stem cell is fine, doesn't hurt anything or one

Some argue that the embryo is not yet alive

Subtopic

People think it's wrong to kill a human

Harvesting embryonic cells means to kill the embryo

Potential Benefits

Could end up saving peoples' lives

Make whole organs

Some want to use Embryonic cells to make more cells for other organs

Offer the chance to inject stem cells into damaged area

Scientists are using stem cells to make organs

Stem Cells and Development
Stem Cells

Different cells embryonic develop are neurons, fat cells, smooth muscle, and macrophage

Embryonic cells develops after fertilization

Stem cells are multipotent- can develop into many types of different cells

Embryonic cells are pluripotent, found in early embryo

Unspecialized cells

Human Development

Inner cells are pluripotent- can't develop into ANY cell

Outer cells form tissue, while cells become part of embryo mass

Totipotent- able to develop into any cell

At early stage blastocyst begin to specialize

Blastocyst, a hollow ball of cells

section 1

Limits to cells size
Division of Cell

Each daughter cell gets one complete copy of DNA

Results in an increase in the ratio of surface area to volume

Before division a cell copies all of it's DNA

Daughter cells are what the two cells that divided are called

The process of a cell dividing into two daughter cells is called cell division

Exchanging materials

Formula for volume- length x width x height

Formula for area- length x width

Rate of food and water being used up and waste produced depends on cell volume

Exchange of materials depends on surface area of cell

Waste products leave through cell membrane

Food, oxygen, and water enter through the cellular membrane

Information overload

As size of cell increases, DNA does not

Critical information stored in DNA moleclue

Causes cell to divide

DNA has too many things to do

Happens when cell is too big

Cell division and reproduction
Comparing Asexual and Sexual reproduction

Sexual, some offspring may have the right combination of genes to survive while others may not

Some organisms produce asexually and sexually

Sexual reproduction provides more diversity

Asexual only have to have one parent, makes reproducing faster and easier

For many single-celled organisms asexual is a form of survival

Sexual reproduction

Most animals an plants produce sexually

Offspring inherit genetic information from both parents

Is the fusion of two separate parent cells

Offspring shares features from both parents

Two parents

Asexual reproduction

Usually in single-celled organisms,but is found in many multi-celled too

Definition- production of genetically identical offspring from one parent

Enables populations to increase very rapidly

Offspring is identical to parent

One parent

Section 3

Cancer
Treatments

Chemo has dangerous side effects because also affects healthy cells

Chemotherapy slows cells growth process down

Use targeted radiation for cancers that grow rapidly

Some can be stopped if found early

When cancer tumor is localized, removed by surgery

Causes of Cancer

Others don't respond to internal regulators

Some cells don't respond to external growth regulators

Control over cell broken down

Sources- smoking, chewing, radiation exposure, genes defect, and viral infection

Caused by defects in genes that regulate growth and division

Section 2

Cytokinesis
Plant Cells

Spilt cell into two

Cell plate grows into cell membranes splitting the cell

Final stage in cell division

Cell plate forms forms halfway, dividing the nuclei

Can't draw inward because it has a rigid cell wall

Animal Cells

Each part contains a nucleus and organelles

Pinches in until cytoplasm is into nearly 2 parts

Cell membrane is pulled inward

Splits one cell into two

Cytokinesis is final stage in cell division

Mitosis
Telephase

NOT the final stage in cell division, only in mitosis!!!

Spindle fibers break apart and nucleuolus becomes visible

Nuclear envelope reappears

Chromosomes unravel into tangle of chromatin

Final stage of mitosis

Anaphase

Ends when chromosomes  are separated into 2 groups

Move with spindle fibers to sides of cell

Chromosomes separate into 2

Begins with chromatids separate ad move away

3rd stage

Metaphase

Spindle fibers come from both sides of the cell

Spindle fibers attach

Chromosomes line up

Generally the shortest step

2nd Stage

Prophase

When done chromosomes coil and nucleus disappears

Spindle fibers extend from the centrioles

Chromosomes visible and spindle form

Usually longest step

1st phase

Cell Cycle
Prokaryote Cell Cycle

3. Cell divides with the product of 2 new cells

2. Cell membrane indents

1. DNA duplicates

Process of cell division in prokaryotes is known as Binary Fusion

Cell start to begin to start the process when they have grown to a certain size

3 main stages

Eukaryote Cell Cycle

Mitosis is the first step in the division of the cell's nucleus, second step is cytokinesis

Interphase is an in-between stage from one cell division to another                 G1, S, G2 are apart of interphase

Time taken in each depends on each type of cell

G1, S, G2, M phase

Four phases involved

Chromosomes
Prokaryote Chromosomes

Most of the contents of the cell are in the cytoplasm

DNA molecules found in cytoplasm

Circle chromosome contains all or almost all genetic infromation

Contain a single, circular DNA chromsomes

Lack nuclei

Eukaryote Chromosomes

Chromosomes make it possible to split the DNA correctly in cell division

DNA and histone molecules form structures called nucleosomes

Contain multiple chromosomes

Chromatin is chromosomes and histones

Generally have more DNA than prokaryotes
