CELL DIVISION

CHAPTER 3: CELL DIVISION
3.1 THE CONCEPT OF CELL DIVISION 3.2 THE CELL CYCLE 3.3 MITOSIS 3.4 MEIOSIS



Related to the theory of cells Rudolph virchow ; 1855 stated; „Omnis cellula e cellula‟ Every cell is from a cell or “All new cells are derived from other cells”

A cell (daughter cell) is originated from another cell ( ) through .  In cell division, is inherited from one generation to the next.  Involve the distribution of genetic material (DNA) to each daughter cell.




A dividing cell….. ◦ DNA its chromosome ; its  The division of cells in the body are strictly regulated by a control mechanisms  The division of cells that do not follow the control mechanisms will produce “tumor cells”

◦ Equal distribution of genetic material to opposite ends of cell ◦ One cell splits into 2 daughter cells by

    A chromatin is DNA combined with proteins that is found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cell, It is partially compacted. A chromosome is a fully compacted chromatin that is visible in cells during nuclear division. the degree to which chromatin is compacted greaty affects the accessbility of chromatin to the cell because compaton is necessary in order to fit a very large amount of DNA into a much smaller nucleus.…

    DNA must replicate before mitosis or meiosis can occur. If daughter cells are to receive a full set of genetic information, a duplicate copy of DNA must be available. Before DNA replication occurs, each chromosome consists of a single long strand of DNA called a chromatid. When a diploid cell undergoes meiosis, four unique haploid daughter cells are produced. It is important for gametes to be haploid…

    Cells divide for two main reasons: first, the larger a cell becomes, the more demands the cell has on its DNA. Second, a large cell has more trouble moving enough food in and enough waste out. Before it becomes too large, a growing cell divides. The two new cells are referred to as daughter cells. The process by which a cell divides into two cells is called cell division.…
