Cellular Reproduction Organism’s life begins as one cell
Rudolf Virchow (1858) stated: All cells come from cells
Prokaryotes divide only to reproduce
Asexual repro: 1 parent 2 daughters
AKA Binary fission (“dividing in half”)
One set of DNA duplicates, cell divides

Important Definitions
DNA: a molecule composed of deoxyribose nucleotides and contains the genetic information of living cells
Chromosome: a single DNA double helix together with proteins that help to organize the DNA
Chromatid: one of the two identical strands of DNA and protein that forms a replicated chromosome
Gene: a unit of heredity; specifies the amino acid sequence of proteins and hence particular traits
Allele: one of several alternative forms of a particular gene
Locus: the physical location of a gene on a chromosome

Important Definitions (cont.)
Diploid: referring to a cell with pairs of homologous chromosomes
Haploid: referring to a cell that has only one member of each pair of homologous chromosomes
Homologous Pair: two homologues that are similar in appearance and genetic information that pair during meiosis
Heterozygous: carrying two different alleles of a given gene
Homozygous: carrying two copies of the same allele of a given gene

What Are Mitosis And Meiosis?
Both are types of reproduction used during the cell cycle
Each type of cell division are specialized for different types of cells
Both undergo the cell cycle in very similar, yet very different ways

MitosisMitosis is the division of chromosomes in a cell
Usually followed by cytokinesis or cell division
Daughter cells produced after mitosis have same number of chromosomes as original cell
Purpose of mitosis is replication of somatic cells and asexual reproduction
Somatic cells include all cells in the body except the egg or sperm

MeiosisMeiosis is the division and reduction of the chromosomes of a cell
Daughter cells produced have half the chromosomes as the original cell
Purpose of meiosis is the production of gametes (sex cells)

Interphase And Synthesis Stages Of Mitosis And Meosis
During Interphase the cell carries out normal activities such as metabolism and protein synthesis
During synthesis the DNA in each chromosome is replicated
(GUEST, 2009)

Eukaryotic cells divide for reproduction, growth, and replacement of cells
Other organisms (plants & animals especially) reproduce through sexual reproduction
Sperm + Egg offspring
Offspring gets two
sets of genetic
information, one
from each parent

The Chromosome DNA is contained in structures called chromosomes within the nucleus of the cell
“chroma” color, “soma” body
Most of the time, chromatin fills the nucleus
Tangled mass of fibers of DNA & protein
When a cell begins to divide, the chromatin condenses and coils into chromosomes
Each chromosome has one long DNA molecule containing thousands of genes
![Page 11: Cell Division](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062222/5681660b550346895dd9478c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Chromosome Before a cell divides, it must duplicate its chromosomes
DNA replication!
Once duplicated, the chromosomes have sister chromatids with identical genes, joined at a centromere
When the cell divides, half goes to each daughter cell
![Page 12: Cell Division](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062222/5681660b550346895dd9478c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Cell Cycle Sequence of events from the time a cell divides to when it forms two daughter cells
Serves to double the cell’s parts, then splits
Stages:
Interphase 90%
Mitotic phase 10%
(SMITH, 2010)

Mitotic Phase Unique to eukaryotes
Ends with 2 identical cells
Sub-stages of Mitosis:
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Cytokenisis
![Page 14: Cell Division](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062222/5681660b550346895dd9478c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Prophase Sister chromatids are attached at centromere
Centrioles separate and extend spindle fibers
Nucleolus disappears and nuclear envelope breaks down
Kinetochores form on each chromatid, spindle fibers attach

Metaphase Centrosomes at poles
Chromosomes lined up at metaphase plate (cell’s equator)
Kinetochores of sister chromatids face opposite poles

Prophase And Metaphase Stages of Mitosis
The prophase stage
chromosomes condense and would be visible under a light microscope
the nuclear membrane degrades
In the metaphase stage the chromosomes line up along the equator
