Investigation 7: Cell DivisionLearning Objectives
• To describe the events in the cell cycle and how these events are controlled.
• To explain how DNA is transmitted to the next generation via mitosis.
• To explain how DNA is transmitted to the next generation via meiosis followed by fertilization.
• To understand how meiosis and crossing over leads to increased genetic diversity, which is necessary for evolution.

Background • One of the characteristics of living things is the ability
to replicate and pass on genetic information to the next generation.
• Cell division in individual bacteria and archaea usually occurs by binary fission.
• Mitochondria and chloroplast also replicate by binary fission which is evidence of the evolutionary relationship between these organelles and prokaryotes.

Background • Cell division in eukaryotes is more complex. It requires
the cell to manage and complicated process of duplicating the nucleus, other organelles, and multiple chromosomes.
• The Cell Cycle is divided into: - interphase:
• G1 • S • G2
- mitosis and - cytokinesis
Investigation 7: Cell Division
Copyright © 2012 Rebecca Rehder Wingerden
Background • Cell division is tightly controlled by complexes made of
several specific proteins. These complexes contain enzymes called cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs).
• CDKs partners with a family of proteins called cyclins. • Different CDKs are produced during the phases. The
cyclins determine which processes in cell division are turned on or off and in what order by CDK.
• As each cyclin is turned on or off, CDK causes the cell to move through the stages of the cell cycle.
Investigation 7: Cell Division
Copyright © 2012 Rebecca Rehder Wingerden
Background • Cyclins and CDKs do not allow the cell to progress
through its cycle automatically • There are three check points
a cell much pass through: - G1 checkpoint - G2 checkpoint - M-spindle checkpoint

Normal human (male) karyotype
HeLa cell karyotype- The karyotype of HeLa cells is extremely abnormal in part due to the presence of DNA from HPV.
CML karyotype- Chronic Myeloid Leukemia is just one type of cancer caused by a translocation error. The translocation in CML involves chromosomes 9 and 22.Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH)
technique know as “chromosome painting” which is used to detect and localize the presence or absence of specific DNA sequences on chromosomes. FISH uses fluorescent probes that bind to only those parts of the chromosome with which they show a high degree of sequence complementarity.

Procedure 5: Meiosis and Crossing Over in Sordaria - Sexual reproduction provides a mechanism to produce
genetic variation.
Investigation 7: Cell Division
- Sordaria fimicola, an ascomycete fungus is haploid for the bulk of its life cycle.
- The only diploid portion of the S. fimicola’s life cycle occurs when the nuclei of specialized hyphae come together.
Copyright © 2012 Rebecca Rehder Wingerden
Investigation 7: Cell Division
Sordaria becomes diploid only when two different strains of mycelia fuse allowing the two different haploid nuclei to form a diploid nucleus.
haploid (n) wild-type strain [+]

[tn]
n

fertilization (2n) 2n
The diploid (2n) nucleus must then undergo meiosis to resume its haploid (n) state.
Meiosis, followed by mitosis, results in the formation of eight haploid ascospores contained within a sac called an ascus (plural, asci).

If crossing over occurs, then the resulting ascospores contained within the ascus will be different.

Procedure 5: Meiosis and Crossing Over in Sordaria - Identify crossing over in Sordaria
Investigation 7: Cell Division
When mycelia of two different strains come together and undergo meiosis, the asci that develop will contain four black and four tan ascospores.
The arrangement of the spores directly reflects whether or not crossing over has occurred. If crossing over occurs, then it will occur in the region between the gene for spore color and the centromere.
