Mitosis: How One Cell Becomes Two

  • We know that we are made of cells. But we start out as just one tiny little cell in the womb. How does that become enough cells to look like a baby? And how does that baby get enough cells to become an adult? The answer is mitosis! This is how cells divide to produce new cells with all the DNA for that organism. How does this work? Let's find out!

    I like to watch these the night before my teacher discusses that topic in class.
    It makes the note taking and information processing so much easier because you feel like you have an overall / general idea of where it’s going. It also helps me understand any reading we have for the topic.

    I have a question, so we grow through the process of mitosis, which means that cells are always Identical. So why do we age? Just curious.

    • @BolasDaGrk
      @BolasDaGrk 2 роки тому

      That's based upon telomeres.
      Picture telomeres as an aluminium chair legs "plastic cap ends," which is normally there to keep from scratching the ground. This cap, instead, is attached to your chromosome (rope-like) tips. Example would be to picture four telomere caps at the end of chromosome (diploid) ropes that cross each other. This prevent the threads of protein/DNA from fraying on the ends of the rope. When the telomere cap wears down, the end of a rope begins becoming exposed and increasingly frays as DNA is exposed and is untangled. This disorder leads to imperfections in DNA, and hence the aging process.
      In the meantime, an enzyme named telomerase helps protect and repair telomeres, maintaining youth until the telomerase enzyme fades away because there is not enough keeping up with sun radiation, and constant oxygen metabolism that leads to free radicals and further mutations. Further imperfect copies of cells, over time, then lead to a carcinogenic cells during a mistake in mitosis. So we, in theory, may be able to slow or stop the aging process and cancer due to this telomerase enzyme being somehow distributed in high doses in the body.

    • @BolasDaGrk
      @BolasDaGrk 2 роки тому +1

      Oh yea, and I completely forgot "stem cells." That stops around 25yo on average. Stem cells are just clean slate cells that can go anywhere and start replicating cells of any tissue. If we use it medically, I think it is called stem cell rejuvenation. My guess is the primary reason for women living longer than men on average, is that when/if they are pregnant, the baby can donate stem cells to the mother and rejuvenate any damaged tissues, leading to more efficient reparations than males who don't have this benefit.

    So when you say there are 2 copies of every chromosome floating around in the beginning does that mean there are 46 total strands floating around. 23 from your dad and 23 from your mom? So for each of the 23 chromosome there is 1 copy from your mom and 1 copy from your dad, meaning 23 pairs or 46 individual strands. Am I understanding this correct?
