Double-Stranded DNA
centromere homologous chromosomes A Pair of Homologous Chromosomes
Chromosome structure Chromosome consists of two identical halves • Each half is a chromatid • Formed when DNA makes a copy of itself before cell division • Each new cell will receive one chromatid from each chromosome • Chromatids are held together by a centromere
DNA Replication • Each parent strand remains intact • Every DNA molecule is half “old” and half “new” Old strand Old strand
DNA replication Parent DNA strand
DNA replication – helix unzips Two identical daughter strands
Human Chromosomal Pairs 23 pairs autosomes Sex chromosomes
The Cell Cycle Centrioles replicate
The Cell Cycle Interphase- 75% of cell life cycle G1: rapid growth S: DNA replicates ; centrioles replicate. G2: cell prepares for cell division; microtubular structures form.
The Cell Cycle Cell Division Mitosis: cell divides its nuclear components (chromosomes). Cytokinesis: cell divides its cytoplasmic components.
Stages of Mitosis Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase
Prophase Early centrioles
Prophase late
centrioles nucleus Centrioles During Prophase

Inquiry INQUIRY • Which cells in the body are diploid and which are haploid? • During which stage does DNA replication occur? • Which stage of mitosis is seen in this picture? • At which stage is the cell binuclear? • In which phase do chromosomes line up in the center of the cell? • Where does the kinetochore attach?
