DNA: stores all genetic information -genes:a hereditary unit of DNA -4 bases: -Adenine -Thymine -Guanine -cytosine
DNA in the Cell • Chromosome • Supercoil • Subcoil • One coil • DNA with histine protein • DNA
Chromosome Types • Sex Chromosomes: determines the sex of an organism -XY: male -XX: female • Autosomes: All other chromosomes of an organism
Homologous Chromosomes: two copies of each autosome – same size, shape, and genes
Karyotype: photomicrograph of chromosomes Humans have 22 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes
Diploid Cells (2n): cells with both sets of chromosomes (both homologous pairs) 46 chromosomes/23 pairs in humans
“C” words of Cytology 1. Chromosome: condensed genetic material • Chromatid: one of two identical copies of DNA • Centromere: region that joins the chromatids
“C” words of Cytology • Centrioles: cylindrical structures that assist in cell division • Centrosome: dark regions in the cytoplasm that create spindle fibers
1. Mitosis: cell division which produces 2 diploid, identical cells
Cell Life Cycle Interphase: G1, S, and G2 G = growth S = Synthesis M phase: mitosis – nuclear division Cytokinesis: cytoplasm division
Interphase 1. Interphase: DNA not visible -nucleus still intact
Phases of Mitosis • Prophase: chromosomes become visible -nucleus disintegrates
Phases of Mitosis • Metaphase: chromosomes connect at the centromere to spindle fibers -line up at the equatorial plate
Phases of Mitosis • Anaphase: spindle fibers recede -pull chromosomes apart -chromosomes retreat to opposite ends
Phases of Mitosis • Telophase: nucleus reforms Cytokinesis splitting the cell -2 daughter cells are formed
Homologous Chromosomes: identical chromosomes – one from each parent
Mitosis vs. Meiosis Mitosis Meiosis -produces four offspring cells of 1n -two cell division cycles (meiosis I & 2) -produces gametes -chromosomes cross over -Produces two offspring cells of 2n -One cell division cycle -produces body cells -no chromosomes cross over
8 Stages of Meiosis Prophase I Metaphase I Anaphase I Telophase I Prophase II Metaphase II Anaphase II Telophase II Meiosis I Meiosis II
Prophase I -Chromatids form -Homologous chromatids pair up to form tetrads
Metaphase I -tetrads line up at equatorial plate -Crossing over: breaking off of arms of chromatids and switching places on another homologous chromosome
Anaphase I -tetrads are pulled apart
Telophase I -cytokinesis occurs
Spermatogenesis: meiosis that produces sperm Produces 4 fertile cells; in humans @ 400 billion
Oogenesis: meiosis that produces egg cells Produces 1 fertile cell; about 400 in a lifetime
Types of Reproduction • Sexual reproduction: offspring are the result of combination of parental genetics • Asexual reproduction: no exchange of genetic information – genetically identical to parent
