Chapter 10
DNA
Messages from the nucleus must be able to reach all parts of the cell
Diffusion
Nutrients must enter and wastes must leave If the cell was too big, diffusion would happen too slowly
As a cell grows larger, the volume increases faster than the SA A bigger cell needs more nutrients, but has relatively less SA to take in those nutrients

Cell Cycle
Cells divide before growing too large Before dividing, cells must prepare Preparation = Interphase
G1 phase: Cell grows larger S phase: Cell makes new DNA for daughter cell G2 phase: Cell makes new organelles for daughter cell
Cell Cycle
Chromosomes
Centromere
Each chromosome is replicated during the S phase A replicated chromosome has two identical sister chromatids connected by a centromere
Sister Chromatids
Mitosis
Mitosis
Four Stages:
Prophase (pro- means first) Metaphase (meta- means middle/after) Anaphase (ana- means apart) Telophase (telo- means far away/end)
Prophase
Chromatin condenses into chromosomes Nuclear envelope and nucleolus disintegrate Centrioles migrate to opposite ends of the cell Spindle fibers form in foot ball shape across cell
Chromosomes condensing
Prophase
Metaphase
Chromosomes line up in the middle (equator) of the cell Spindle fibers attach to centromeres
Anaphase
Sister chromatids separate Spindle fibers shorten, pulling chromatids to opposite ends of cell Animal cells begin to pinch in Plant cells begin to form cell plate in the middle
Anaphase
Telophase
Nuclear membrane built from ER around each set of chromosomes Nucleolus reforms in each nucleus Chromosomes become mass of chromatin
Telophase
Cytokinesis
Final division of cytoplasm resulting in two daughter cells Animals CM pinches together Plants Cell plate forms new CM dividing the daughter cells
Metaphase
Prophase
Telophase
Interphase
Cyclins
Protein that regulates the cell cycle in eukaryotes
Internal regulators tell the cell when to enter mitosis External regulators control the rate of the cell cycle
Effect of Cyclins
Cytoplasm is removed from cell in mitosis Cytoplasm is injected into a second cell in G2 phase
Cancer
Cancer results when cells do not respond to cell cycle regulators Cells grow unregulated, forming a tumor Tumor damages surrounding tissue
Skin Cancer
