A nucleosome consists of part of a DNA molecule looped twice around a core of histones (chromosomal proteins). core of histone molecules Fig. 3-9a, p. 37
Immerse a chromosome in saltwater and it loosens up to a beads-on-a-string organization. The “string” is one DNA molecule. Each “bead” is a nucleosome. Fig. 3-9b, p. 37
At a deeper level of structural organization, the chromosomal proteins and DNA are organized as a cylindrical fiber (again a helical structure). Fig. 3-9c, p. 37
At times when a chromosome is most condensed (during Mitosis), the chromosomal proteins interact, which packages loops of already coiled DNA into a “supercoiled” array (two additional helical organizations). Such a tightly packaged DNA molecule is more easily moved around compared to when it would be a long “loose” thread (important during cell division) Fig. 3-9d, p. 37

Cytoskeleton • Structures in cytoskeleton • Microtubules • Motor proteins • Microfilaments • Specialized proteins connect microtubules and microfilaments to other organelles • Connections thought to coordinate many cell processes

Cell division in Plants versus Animals • Animal cells do not have a cell wall Because plant cells have cell walls, the direction of cell division is a major determinant of overall plant development (cells are caught in a rigid structure and cannot reorganize after cell division has been completed). The direction/orientation of cell division is controlled by plant hormones.
Cell division in Plants versus Animals • Animal cells do not form a preprophase band (PPB) • During Telophase: - in plants: a cell plate is formed at the start of cytokinesis (direction of cell plate formation depends on hormone action via effects on PPB formation) - in animals: the cell pinches in the middle to form two cells, no cell plate is formed.
