8.1 An Overview of Cellular Reproduction
Multicellular organisms begin life as a single cell.
Humans become trillions of cells because of cellular reproduction.
Reproduction continues as we grow to replace worn-out or damaged tissues.

Cellular Reproduction 1
Asexual reproduction (example Binary fission)
Doesn’t require sperm or egg (required in sexual reproduction)
All cells come from cells.
Cellular reproduction is necessary for the production of both new cells and new organisms.
Two important processes
Growth—cell duplicates its contents (including DNA and organelles)
Cell division—parent cell contents divides into two daughter cells
Both processes heavily regulated

Cellular Reproduction 2
Chromosomes
DNA replication is the copying of DNA.
Full set is passed to each daughter cell
DNA is packaged into chromosomes.
Thickened complex of DNA and proteins
Allows easier distribution to daughter cells
Chromatin
DNA and associated proteins have the appearance of thin threads.

Interphase 1
Majority of the cell cycle
Time when a cell performs its usual functions
Amount of time varies widely depending on cell
Three stages:
G₁
S—DNA synthesis
G₂

Interphase 2
Interphase is divided into three stages.
G₁—stage before DNA replication
Cell doubles organelles
Accumulates materials for DNA synthesis
Makes decision whether to divide or not
G₀—arrested—does not go on to divide
S—DNA synthesis
Results in each chromosome being composed of two sister chromatids
G₂—stage following DNA synthesis
Extends to onset of mitosis
Synthesizes proteins needed for cell division

Cell Division Occurs in the M (Mitotic) Phase
Cell division occurs.
Encompasses
Division of nucleus (mitosis)
Creates two identical daughter nuclei
Division of cytoplasm (cytokinesis)
© McGraw Hill LLC
12
M (Mitotic) Phase
Distributes duplicated nuclear contents of parent cell equally to daughter cells
Each sister chromatid has the same genetic information.
Daughter chromosomes—separated sister chromatids
© McGraw Hill LLC
13
Daughter Nuclei
Daughter nuclei produced by mitosis are genetically identical to each other and to the parent nucleus.
Every animal has an even number of chromosomes—each parent contributes half of the chromosomes to the new individual.
In drawings, colors may be used to indicate chromosomes contributed by the male or female parent.

Moving the Chromosomes
Spindle
Most eukaryotic cells rely on this structure to pull chromatids apart.
Part of the cytoskeleton
Spindle fibers are made of microtubules
Centrosome—primary microtubule organizing center
Spindle fibers may overlap at the spindle equator or attach to duplicated chromosomes.
15

15
Phases of Mitosis in Animal and Plant Cells
Mitosis is a continual process traditionally divided into four phases:
Prophase—chromosomes are visible under microscope in condensed pairs
Metaphase—chromosomes line up along equatorial plate (middle)
Anaphase—chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles of cell (apart)
Telophase and Cytokinesis—two distinct cells are visible under the microscopes.

Figure 8.5 Phases of Mitosis in Animal Cells 1
Interphase
During interphase, the eukaryotic cell duplicates the contents of the cytoplasm, and DNA replicates in the nucleus. The duplicated chromosomes are not yet visible. A pair of centrosomes is outside the nucleus.
Prophase
During prophase, the chromosomes are condensing. Each consists of two sister chromatids held together at a centromere. Outside the nucleus, the spindle begins to assemble between the separating centrosomes.
Prophase continues with the disappearance of the nucleolus and the breakdown of the nuclear envelope. Spindle fibers from each pole attach to the chromosomes at specialized protein complexes on either side of each centromere. During attachment, a chromosome first moves toward one pole and then toward the other pole.

Figure 8.5 Phases of Mitosis in Animal Cells 2
Metaphase
During metaphase, the chromosomes are aligned at the spindle equator midway between the spindle poles. The spindle fibers on either side of a chromosome extend to opposite poles of the spindle. Unattached spindle fibers reach beyond the equator and overlap.
Anaphase
During anaphase, the sister chromatids separate and become daughter chromosomes. As the spindle fibers attached to the chromosomes disassemble, each pole receives a set of daughter chromosomes. The spindle poles move apart as the unattached spindle fibers slide past one another. This contributes to chromosome separation.
Telophase and Cytokinesis
During telophase, the spindle disappears as new nuclear envelopes form around the daughter chromosomes. Each nucleus contains the same number and kinds of chromosomes as the original parent cell. Remnants of spindle fibers are still visible between the two nuclei. Division of the cytoplasm begins.

Phases of Mitosis in Animal Cells
Although mitosis is divided into phases, it is a continuous process.
DNA is replicated before mitosis begins.
Each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids attached at a centromere.
Red chromosomes are from one parent, and blue are from the other parent.
Mitosis is usually followed by cytokinesis.
Division of the cytoplasm
Begins during telophase and continues after the daughter nuclei have formed

Mitosis Differs in Plants and Animals
Plant and animal cells differ.
Plant—have centrosomes but lack centrioles
Animal—each centrosome has two centrioles and an aster (array of microtubules)
Cell membrane in plants form from center outward along a cell plate
Cell membrane in animals forms through a cleavage furrow (outer membrane toward the center).

Figure 8.6 Comparing Mitosis in a Plant and Animal Cell 1
Nucleolus has disappeared, and duplicated chromosomes are visible. Centrosomes begin moving apart, and spindle is in process of forming.
The kinetochore of each chromatid is attached to a kinetochore spindle fiber. Polar spindle fibers stretch from each spindle pole and overlap.
Metaphase
Centromeres of duplicated chromosomes are aligned at the metaphase plate (center of fully formed spindle). Kinetochore spindle fibers attached to the sister chromatids come from opposite spindle poles.

Anaphase
Sister chromatids part and become daughter chromosomes that move toward the spindle poles. In this way, each pole receives the same number and kinds of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Telophase
Daughter cells are forming as nuclear envelopes and nucleoli reappear. Chromosomes will become indistinct chromatin.

8.3 The Cell Cycle Control System
Cell cycle must be controlled
Ensures that the stages occur in order and that the cycle continues only when the previous stage is successfully completed
Cell cycle checkpoints
Three of the many
G₁ checkpoint
G₂ checkpoint
Mitotic stage checkpoint
26
© McGraw Hill LLC
26
Cell Cycle Checkpoints
G₁ checkpoint
Cell committed to divide after this point
Can enter G₀ if checkpoint not passed
Proper growth signals must be present to pass
DNA integrity checked—if repair is not possible, apoptosis occurs
G₂ checkpoint
Verifies that DNA replicated
DNA damage repaired
Mitotic stage checkpoint
Between metaphase and anaphase
All chromosomes must be attached to spindle to pass.

Internal and External Signals
Signal—a molecule that stimulates or inhibits an event
External signals come from outside the cell.
Internal signals come from inside the cell.
Kinases remove a phosphate from ATP and add it to other molecules.
Cyclins are internal signals present only during certain stages of the cell cycle.
Destruction of cyclin at the appropriate time is necessary for normal cell cycle progression.

Cell Cycle Signals
External signals
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulates skin near an injury to finish cell cycle and repair injury.
Hormone estrogen stimulates lining of the uterus to divide and prepare for egg implantation.
Contact inhibition—cells stop dividing when they touch
Cells divide about 70 times in culture and then die.
Due to shortening of telomeres
Telomere—repeating DNA sequence at end of chromosome

Apoptosis
Programmed cell death
Remaining cell fragments engulfed by white blood cells
Unleashed by internal or external signals
Helps keep number of cells at appropriate level
Normal part of growth and development
Tadpole tail
Webbing between human digits

8.4 Cell Cycle and Cancer
Cell cycle is regulated by signals that inhibit or promote cell cycle.
Cancer may result from imbalance.
Cancer is a disease of the cell cycle in which cellular reproduction occurs repeatedly without end.

Cell (red) acquires a mutation for repeated cell division.
New mutations arise, and one cell (teal) has the ability to start a tumor.
Cancer in situ. The tumor is at its place of origin. One cell (purple) mutates further.
Cells have gained the ability to invade underlying tissues by producing a proteinase enzyme.
Cancer cells now have the ability to invade lymphatic and blood vessels.
New metastatic tumors are found some distance from the original tumor.

35
Genetic Control of the Cell Cycle
Proto-oncogenes code for proteins that promote the cell cycle and inhibit apoptosis. They are often likened to the gas pedal of a car because they accelerate the cell cycle.
Tumor suppressor genes code for proteins that inhibit the cell cycle and promote apoptosis.
When proto-oncogenes mutate, they become cancer-causing genes called oncogenes.
When tumor suppressor genes mutate, their products no longer inhibit the cell cycle or promote apoptosis.

Other Genetic Changes and Cancer
Absence of telomere shortening
Chromosomal rearrangements
When the chromosomes of cancer cells become unstable, portions of the DNA double helix may be lost, duplicated, or scrambled. For example, a portion of a chromosome may break off and reattach to another chromosome. These events are called translocations.
Other cell cycle genes associated with cancer:
BRCA1 and BRCA2
RB gene
RET gene

8.5 Characteristics of Cancer
Characteristics of cancer cells
Carcinogenesis—development of cancer
Cancer cells lack differentiation—do not contribute to body function
May be immortal—divide repeatedly
Have abnormal nuclei with abnormal number of chromosomes

Cancer Treatment
Either remove tumor or interfere with the ability of cancer cells to reproduce
As rapidly dividing cells, they are susceptible to radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
Damages DNA or some aspect of mitosis
Leads to side effects
Hormone therapy is designed to prevent cells from receiving signals for continued growth and division.

Prevention of Cancer
Protective behaviors
Avoid smoking—accounts for about 30% of all cancer deaths
Avoid sun exposure—major factor in development of most dangerous type of skin cancer, melanomas
Heavy drinkers are prone to particular cancers.
Protective diet
Weight loss can reduce cancer risk.
Increase consumption of foods rich in vitamins A and C.
Avoid salt-cured or pickled foods.
Include cabbage family members in the diet.

The stages are discussed as follows:
G 1, S, and G 2 stages are associated with the interphase of the cell cycle. During interphase, the eukaryotic cell duplicates the contents of the cytoplasm, and DNA replicates in the nucleus. The cell in this stage shows labels including centrosome, centrioles, nucleolus, chromatin, nuclear envelope, and plasma membrane.
The M phase of the cell cycle is divided into four phases along with cytokinesis.
Prophase: During prophase, the chromosomes are condensing. Each consists of two sister chromatids held together at a centromere. At this stage, the cell shows the parts including early mitotic spindle, centrosome, centromere, and chromosome with two sister chromatids. Next, prophase continues with the disappearance of the nucleolus and the breakdown of the nuclear envelope. At this stage, the cell shows parts including spindle fibers and nuclear envelope fragments. The chromosome area is also easily distinguished in two micrographs magnified 250 times.

a. It demonstrates how a growth factor binds to a cell membrane-attached receptor. The phosphorylation of signaling protein, which leads to activated signaling protein, supports the activity of receptors. Labels include signaling protein, activated signaling protein, and phosphate.
b. Growth factor binds to receptor and activates proto-oncogenes through cell-signaling pathway. Proto-oncogene codes for a protein that promotes the cell cycle. If a proto-oncogene mutates, the resulting oncogenes may lead to uncontrolled cell division. Tumor suppressor gene codes for a protein that inhibits the cell cycle. Mutant tumor suppressor genes can lose this function. Labels are activation of proto-oncogene, promotion of cell-cycle, expression of tumor suppressor, and inhibition of cell cycle.
