When Would a Cell Divide? Growth
Repair or Replacement
Cancer
Different cells divide at different rates:
Most mammalian cells = 12-24 hours
Some bacterial cells = 20-30 minutes

• During interphase a cell performs all of its regular functions and gets ready to divide
• Metabolic activity is very high
Most of the life of a cell is spent in InterphaseCell does most of its’ growth during interphase

• Untwisting and replication of DNA: S phase
Figure 10.4B
Chromosomes condense at the start of mitosis.
• DNA wraps around proteins (histones) that condense it.

Chromatin SupercoiledDNA
Structure of Chromosomes
– Homologous chromosomes are identical pairs of chromosomes.
– One inherited from mother and one from father– made up of sister chromatids joined at the
centromere.

• This phase spans the time from the completion of DNA synthesis to the onset of cell division
• Following DNA replication, the cell spends about 2-5 hours making proteins prior to entering the M phase

• In animals, cytokinesis occurs by cleavage– This process pinches the
cell apart– The first sign of cleavage
is the appearance of a cleavage furrow
Cytokinesis differs for plant and animal cells

– As the daughter chormosomes move to opposite poles
– The cytoplasm constricts along the plane of the metaphase plate
The process of cytokinesis divides the cell into two genetically identical cells
Cytokinesis differs for plant and animal cells

• When the cell divides, the sister chromatids separate
– Two daughter cells are produced
– Each has a complete and identical set of chromosomes

Different cells divide at different rates:
Most mammalian cells = 12-24 hours
Some bacterial cells = 20-30 minutes
Explain how mitosis ensures that daughter nuclei are genetically identical.
Cells divide at different rates.
• The rate of cell division varies with the need for those types of cells.
• Some cells are unlikely to divide (G0).
Cell size is limited.
• Volume increases faster than surface area.
• Surface area must allow for adequate exchange of materials.
– Cell growth is coordinated with division.
– Cells that must be large have unique shapes.
