The aim was to simulate how the cell looks during the cell cycle:
C H A P T E R 1 2 The Cell Cycle 231
� Figure 12.6 The cell cycle. In a dividing cell, the mitotic (M)phase alternates with interphase, a growth period. The first part ofinterphase (G1) is followed by the S phase, when the chromosomesduplicate; G2 is the last part of interphase. In the M phase, mitosisdistributes the daughter chromosomes to daughter nuclei, andcytokinesis divides the cytoplasm, producing two daughter cells. Therelative durations of G1, S, and G2 may vary.

Phases of the Cell Cycle
Mitosis is just one part of the cell cycle (Figure 12.6). In fact,the mitotic (M) phase, which includes both mitosis and cy-tokinesis, is usually the shortest part of the cell cycle. Mitoticcell division alternates with a much longer stage calledinterphase, which often accounts for about 90% of the cycle.During interphase, a cell that is about to divide grows andcopies its chromosomes in preparation for cell division. Inter-phase can be divided into subphases: the G1 phase (“firstgap”), the S phase (“synthesis”), and the G2 phase (“secondgap”). During all three subphases, a cell that will eventually di-vide grows by producing proteins and cytoplasmic organellessuch as mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. However,chromosomes are duplicated only during the S phase. (We willdiscuss synthesis of DNA in Chapter 16.) Thus, a cell grows(G1), continues to grow as it copies its chromosomes (S), growsmore as it completes preparations for cell division (G2), and di-vides (M). The daughter cells may then repeat the cycle.
A particular human cell might undergo one division in24 hours. Of this time, the M phase would occupy less than1 hour, while the S phase might occupy about 10–12 hours,or about half the cycle. The rest of the time would be appor-tioned between the G1 and G2 phases. The G2 phase usuallytakes 4–6 hours; in our example, G1 would occupy about5–6 hours. G1 is the most variable in length in different typesof cells. Some cells in a multicellular organism divide very in-frequently or not at all. These cells spend their time in G1 (ora related phase called G0) doing their job in the organism—anerve cell carries impulses, for example.
Mitosis is conventionally broken down into five stages:prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and
telophase. Overlapping with the latter stages of mitosis, cy-tokinesis completes the mitotic phase. Figure 12.7, on thenext two pages, describes these stages in an animal cell. Studythis figure thoroughly before progressing to the next two sec-tions, which examine mitosis and cytokinesis more closely.
The Mitotic Spindle: A Closer LookMany of the events of mitosis depend on the mitoticspindle, which begins to form in the cytoplasm duringprophase. This structure consists of fibers made of micro-tubules and associated proteins. While the mitotic spindle as-sembles, the other microtubules of the cytoskeleton partiallydisassemble, providing the material used to construct the spin-dle. The spindle microtubules elongate (polymerize) by incor-porating more subunits of the protein tubulin (see Table 6.1)and shorten (depolymerize) by losing subunits.
In animal cells, the assembly of spindle microtubules startsat the centrosome, a subcellular region containing materialthat functions throughout the cell cycle to organize thecell’s microtubules. (It is also called the microtubule-organizingcenter.) A pair of centrioles is located at the center of the cen-trosome, but they are not essential for cell division: If thecentrioles are destroyed with a laser microbeam, a spindlenevertheless forms during mitosis. In fact, centrioles are noteven present in plant cells, which do form mitotic spindles.
During interphase in animal cells, the single centrosomeduplicates, forming two centrosomes, which remain togethernear the nucleus. The two centrosomes move apart duringprophase and prometaphase of mitosis as spindle micro-tubules grow out from them. By the end of prometaphase, thetwo centrosomes, one at each pole of the spindle, are at oppo-site ends of the cell. An aster, a radial array of short micro-tubules, extends from each centrosome. The spindle includesthe centrosomes, the spindle microtubules, and the asters.
Each of the two sister chromatids of a duplicated chromo-some has a kinetochore, a structure of proteins associatedwith specific sections of chromosomal DNA at each cen-tromere. The chromosome’s two kinetochores face in oppo-site directions. During prometaphase, some of the spindlemicrotubules attach to the kinetochores; these are calledkinetochore microtubules. (The number of microtubules at-tached to a kinetochore varies among species, from one mi-crotubule in yeast cells to 40 or so in some mammalian cells.)When one of a chromosome’s kinetochores is “captured” bymicrotubules, the chromosome begins to move toward thepole from which those microtubules extend. However, thismovement is checked as soon as microtubules from the op-posite pole attach to the other kinetochore. What happensnext is like a tug-of-war that ends in a draw. The chromo-some moves first in one direction, then the other, back andforth, finally settling midway between the two ends of thecell. At metaphase, the centromeres of all the duplicatedchromosomes are on a plane midway between the spindle’s

• Each duplicated chromosome appears astwo identical sister chromatids joined attheir centromeres and, in some species,all along their arms by cohesins (sisterchromatid cohesion).
• The mitotic spindle (named for its shape)begins to form. It is composed of thecentrosomes and the microtubules thatextend from them. The radial arrays ofshorter microtubules that extend fromthe centrosomes are called asters(“stars”).
• The centrosomes move away from eachother, propelled partly by the lengthen-ing microtubules between them.

• The chromosomes convene at the meta-phase plate, a plane that is equidistantbetween the spindle’s two poles. Thechromosomes’ centromeres lie at themetaphase plate.
• For each chromosome, the kinetochoresof the sister chromatids are attached tokinetochore microtubules coming fromopposite poles.
Anaphase• Anaphase is the shortest stage of mitosis,
often lasting only a few minutes.
• Anaphase begins when the cohesinproteins are cleaved. This allows thetwo sister chromatids of each pair topart suddenly. Each chromatid thusbecomes a full-fledged chromosome.
• The two liberated daughter chromosomesbegin moving toward opposite ends ofthe cell as their kinetochore microtubulesshorten. Because these microtubules areattached at the centromere region, thechromosomes move centromere first (atabout 1 μm/min).
• The cell elongates as the nonkinetochoremicrotubules lengthen.
• By the end of anaphase, the two ends ofthe cell have equivalent—and complete—collections of chromosomes.
Telophase• Two daughter nuclei form in the cell.
Nuclear envelopes arise from thefragments of the parent cell’s nuclearenvelope and other portions of theendomembrane system.
• Nucleoli reappear.
• The chromosomes become less condensed.
• Any remaining spindle microtubules aredepolymerized.
• Mitosis, the division of one nucleus intotwo genetically identical nuclei, is nowcomplete.
Cytokinesis• The division of the cytoplasm is usually
well under way by late telophase, so thetwo daughter cells appear shortly afterthe end of mitosis.
• In animal cells, cytokinesis involves theformation of a cleavage furrow, whichpinches the cell in two.

EXPERIMENT Gary Borisy and colleagues at the University of Wisconsinwanted to determine whether kinetochore microtubules depolymerize atthe kinetochore end or the pole end as chromosomes move toward thepoles during mitosis. First they labeled the microtubules of a pig kidneycell in early anaphase with a yellow fluorescent dye.

Then they marked a region of the kinetochore microtubules betweenone spindle pole and the chromosomes by using a laser to eliminate thefluorescence from that region, while leaving the microtubules intact(see below). As anaphase proceeded, they monitored the changes inmicrotubule length on either side of the mark.
RESULTS As the chromosomes moved poleward, the microtubule seg-ments on the kinetochore side of the mark shortened, while those onthe spindle pole side stayed the same length.
CONCLUSION During anaphase in this cell type, chromosome move-ment is correlated with kinetochore microtubules shortening at theirkinetochore ends and not at their spindle pole ends. This experimentsupports the hypothesis that during anaphase, a chromosome is walkedalong a microtubule as the microtubule depolymerizes at its kineto-chore end, releasing tubulin subunits.

If this experiment had been done on a cell type in which“reeling in” at the poles was the main cause of chromosome move-ment, how would the mark have moved relative to the poles? Howwould the microtubule lengths have changed?
