Cell Growth & Division

Limits to Cell Growth

• DNA “Overload”: if a cell gets to big, DNA cannot serve the increasing needs of the growing cell.

• Exchanging Material: If a cell gets to big, food, oxygen, water, cannot get in quick enough and wastes cannot get out quick enough.

• Ratio of Surface Area to Volume: Volume increases much more rapidly than surface area

Chromosomes

• Contain the genetic information (DNA)

• They are not visible except during cell division.

• Humans have 46• Fruit flies have 8• Carrots have 18

Cell Cycle

The Cell Cycle

• Interphase: the “in-between” period of growth; longest & busiest phase of the cell cycle

• During the cell cycle, a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides into 2 daughter cells, then each begin the cycle again.

Interphase: Cell Growth

• G1 cells are growing, synthesizing proteins and organelles.

• S: chromosomes are replicated• G2: organelles and other molecules

required for cell division are produced

Mitosis

• It is divided into 4 phases• Prophase• Metaphase• Anaphase• Telophase

 Mitosis and Cytokinesis

Prophase

• First and longest phase.• Centrioles separate and move to opposite

sides of the nucleus.• Centrioles help to organize the spindle

fibers• Chromatin condenses into chromosomes• Nuclear envelope breaks down.

Metaphase

• The chromosomes line up across the middle of the cell (at the equator).

• Each chromosome is connected to the spindle fiber by the centromere.

Anaphase

• The sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes and are moved apart to opposite poles.

Telophase

• Chromosomes begin to untangle.• Two nuclear envelopes will form• Spindle begins to break down.• Nucleolus becomes visible.

 Mitosis and Cytokinesis

Cytokinesis

• The cytoplasm pinches in half. Each daughter cell has an identical set of duplicate chromosomes.

• In plants the cells do not separate but form a cell plate between the 2 nuclei and the cell wall starts to form.

Results of Cell Division

• 2 daughter cells with same number of chromosomes as the original (parent) cell.

• Ex. 24 → 2 cells each with 24• All of our body cells go through mitosis.• Mitosis is used for growth and

development, healing, & when cells die from old age.
