21. Chromosome movement Microtubule Motor protein Chromosome Kinetochore Tubulin subunits What is happening at the kinetochore? The kinetochore motor proteins detach and reattach to the kinetochore microtubule, this causes the microtubule to shorten (depolymerize) and thus moving the chromosome.

26. LE 12-10 Nucleus Cell plate Chromosomes Nucleolus Chromatin condensing 10 µm Prophase. The chromatin is condensing. The nucleolus is beginning to disappear. Although not yet visible in the micrograph, the mitotic spindle is starting to form. Prometaphase. We now see discrete chromosomes; each consists of two identical sister chromatids. Later in prometaphase, the nuclear envelope will fragment. Metaphase. The spindle is complete, and the chromosomes, attached to microtubules at their kinetochores, are all at the metaphase plate. Anaphase. The chromatids of each chromosome have separated, and the daughter chromosomes are moving to the ends of the cell as their kinetochore micro- tubules shorten. Telophase. Daughter nuclei are forming. Meanwhile, cytokinesis has started: The cell plate, which will divide the cytoplasm in two, is growing toward the perimeter of the parent cell.

Soon thereafter, one copy of the origin moves rapidly toward the other end of the cell. Replication continues. One copy of the origin is now at each end of the cell. Origin Origin Replication finishes. The plasma membrane grows inward, and new cell wall is deposited. Two daughter cells result.

35. The Rao Johnson Experiment Experiment 1 Experiment 2 S S S G 1 G 1 M M M When a cell in the M phase was fused with a cell in G 1 , the G 1 cell immediately began mitosis—a spindle formed and chromatin condensed, even though the chromosome had not been duplicated. Something in M phase induced interphase cells to divide. When a cell in the S phase was fused with a cell in G 1 , the G 1 cell immediately entered the S phase—DNA was synthesized. S cells contained something that induced regulation in G 1 cells.

Cancer cells spread through lymph and blood vessels to other parts of the body. A small percentage of cancer cells may survive and establish a new tumor in another part of the body. Cancer
A hypothetical sequence for the evolution of mitosis Some unicellular eukaryotic organisms existing today display mechanisms of cell division that appear to be intermediate btwn binary fission as in bacteria (a) and mitosis as it is shown in most other eukaryotes (b-d)
