The Cell Cycle and its Regulation

Your cells have to divide when you're growing, to heal wounds, and to replace dead cells. But how do cells know when to divide and when not to divide? We can't have cells just growing willy-nilly! That's what cancer is, and that's bad. Luckily, cells obey something called the cell cycle, which is regulated by a variety of signaling molecules, which tell the cell when to divide and when to chill out. Let's look at the phases of this cycle and some of its regulatory mechanisms now.

I am a tutor in physiology, physics, chemistry, and mathematics, and I must say you have a very special way of breaking down the information in a comprehensible, sequential manner that is just really enjoyable to hear and watch. You are definitely helping a lot of people with your linear, step-by-step methods. I've always been fond of cell signaling pathways and understanding them from start to finish. Very well organized!

thanks very much!

This is what I always want from a discussion, there are always new trivias/facts added and goes beyond the surface of the lesson (defining terms, explaining what is already in the ppt, and whatnot).

Quick question- Chromosomes can be monads (a single chromatid) or dyads (sister chromatids held together by a centromere; a dyad has two identical strands of DNA held closely together in a location called the centromere). When a cell is in the G1 or Gap 1 Phase of their cell cycle, the nucleus contains monads but during the S phase the DNA is synthesized into the dyads that are seen in the G2 or Gap 2 phase. *The strands are identical assuming that no copying errors (mutations) have occurred during the S phase of the cell cycle Familiarize yourself with the conditions of a cell’s chromosomes during the G1 and G2 phases of the cell cycle. The 4 phases of mitosis: Prophase = chromosomes condense Metaphase = chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell with reference to the two poles (the equatorial plate or metaphase plate) with each chromosome on its own spindle fiber (by itself) Anaphase = separation of the chromosomes Telophase = formation of two nuclear envelopes around the two chromosomal clusters and then the cell divides (cytokinesis) Questions: In humans, there are 46 chromosomes in the nucleus of a cell. When the cells are in the G1 phase the 46 chromosomes are 46 monads which are 46 single chromatids. During the S Phase the 46 monads become 46 dyads which are 46 sister chromatids that will split during the M Phase/Mitosis. What is in the nucleus of the cell after mitosis?

one quick question dave. if nerve cells don't divide at all like you said, then how can doctors treat brain cancer? bcs, once the doctors get rid the tumor cells within the brain, don't they wait for certain amount of times so that the cells he cut form the new one. thanks

Wow! This is great continent! Simple and accurate! Just consider revising your explanation on chromatin structure...As far as I know chromosomes only go supercoiled for cell division...the DNA is largely in a "loose" state for replication and storage... otherwise it couldn't be used. (I'm not considering heterochromatin here, of course) Anyhow, great video!! :)

[@jenniferwang946]

1:03 Why are they called daughter cells? And not son cells, for example?

[@AnushkaSharma-ok2er]

we call it daughter cell since only *female* can reproduce.. so as it will grow it will become a mother cell and divide further.

what is the difference between genome and gene?

an organism's genome is all of its DNA, and within the genome there are many genes. go through some of the other content in my biology playlist for more info on this!

[@Osama_Alkadomi]

after studying biology in depth for many years I have slowly but surely started believing in a higher power. And after further research I have decided that there can only be 1 God responsible for the intricacy of the human body.

[@WokeandProud]

As long as you don't take it too far and become a YEC then that's perfectly fine I disagree strongly because of things like emergence but it's fine of that's what you wanna believe.

[@Osama_Alkadomi]

@@WokeandProud I do not understand what you mean by "taking it too far" secondly, things like emergence personally are not strong enough evidence to compensate for the incredible intricacy of the Universe and human physiology. However, I would not impose my beliefs on others. Although, there has to be a set of laws prohibiting homosexuality, illicit acitivities etc.

[@e.m.5287]

​@@Osama_AlkadomiNo.

Why nerve cells never divide?
