Mitosis
Functions Cell cycle
1. Growth
1. Interphase the cell grows to full size and new
2. Repair of damaged organs organelles and cytoplasm are made. If a cell is going
3. Asexual reproduction (plants) to divide the DNA replicates during interphase.
2. Mitosis
A. Karyokinesis — splitting of nucleus (replicated)
B. Cytokinesis — splitting of cytoplasm
Stages
1. Interphase
• DNA replicates
• Centrioles duplicate (animal cells only)
2. Karyokinesis
Splitting of the nucleus.
Stages: prophase
metaphase
anaphase
telophase
,Prophase
• Chromosomes shorten and thicken.
• Nucleolus and nuclear membrane disintegrate.
• Chromosomes separate into two (sister) chromatids joined at
centromere.
• Centrioles move to opposite poles (animal cells).
• Spindle fibres form
• Chromosomes move towards equator.
Metaphase
• Chromosomes lie on equator.
• Each sister chromatid is attached to a spindle fibre.
Anaphase
• Centromeres split.
• Spindle fibres attached to centromeres shorten, pulling daughter
chromosomes to opposite poles.
• Spindle fibres not attached to centromeres lengthen, elongating the
cell.
• Chromosomes break at centromeres, and sister chromotids move to
opposite poles
Telophase
• Daughter chromosomes regroup at poles.
• Chromosomes uncoil – lengthen.
• Nucleolus and nuclear membrane reform.
• Spindle disintegrates.
endof karyokinesis
,Cytokinesis
• Splitting of cytoplasm
• Normally begins while cell is in telophase.
• Cleavage furrow forms as cell membrane pinches inwards (in
animal cell only).
• Two daughter cells formed.
Result
• Two daughter cells.
• Genetically identical to each other.
• Genetically identical to parent cell.
Differences in plant cell mitosis
Plant cells do not have centrioles to aid in spindle formation.
Cytokinesis
• Vesicles are laid down on equator and coalesce forming a cell plate of pectin.
• Cellulose is laid down on either side of cell plate.
• The cell plate then forms the middle lamella.
• The cell has been split into two.
, Cell membrane
• Found in both plant and animal cells
• Surrounds and therefore ‘contains’ cell contents
• Double layer of phospholipids and proteins
• Selectively permeable –determines what enters and leaves the cell
The basic structure of the fluid mosaic model
Transport across cell membrane
of
Passive Transport Characteristics Types of passive transport
• No energy required 1. Diffusion
• Move due to gradient differences in concentration 2. Facilitated diffusion
3. Osmosis
• Move to equalise gradient
•Movement from a region of high towards a region of low
