Cell Reproduction 8.1 Chromosomes 8.2 Cell Division 8.3 Meiosis
Chromosome Structure • During cell division DNA condenses to form chromosomes. • Eukaryotic cells DNA wraps around histones • Activity of specifc regions controlled by nonhistone proteins
Chromatid • Centromere • Tetrad
Chromatid • Centromere
Chromosomes Numbers • Sex chromosomes • Autosomes • Homologous chromosomes • Karyotype • Diploid cells • Body cells • Haploid cells • Sex cells (gametes)_ Click
Cell Division Prokaryotes • Binary Fission
Eukaryotes • Mitosis
The cell cycle • Interphase • Mitosis • Cytokinesis
Meiosis • Produces 4 haploid gametes • Egg (n) • Sperm (n) • Fusion of egg & sperm results in zygote (2n)_
Meiosis I • Synapsis occurs forming a tetrad • Prophase I, crossing over can occur. • genetic recombination. • Independent assortment • genetic variation.
Meiosis II Results in 4 new cells, each with single set (n) of chromosomes.
Formation of Gametes • In reproductive organs • Testes • Ovaries • Spermatogenesis • Spermatids • Oogenesis • 1 egg cell • 3 polar bodies
The cell cycle • Interphase • Mitosis • Cytokinesis
