Chromosomes
• Rod shaped structures
in the nucleus that
only appear right
before cell division
Chromosomes Cont.
• Types:
– Autosomes
• Not involved in sex
determination
– Sex Chromosomes
• Determine sex
– Female: XX
– Male: XY
• Numbers
– Diploid: 2 of each
• Body Cells
• For humans 46
– Haploid: 1 of each
• Gametes (sex cells)
• For humans 23
Karyotype: chart of
chromosome pairs
used to detect
abnormalities in
chromosome number
Cell Cycle
• The regular cycle of grow, development, and reproduction.
• Why?
– To Grow
– To Repair
– To Replace
Mitosis
• A period of nuclear division in which 2
daughter cells are formed from 1 parent
cell.
– Each daughter cell contains a complete set of
chromosomes
– This produces more body cells
Mitosis

Mitosis Cont.
• Paired chromosomes
are visible
• Spindle fibers appear
• Nucleolus and
nuclear envelope
breakdown
Mitosis Cont.
• Paired chromosomes
line up along the cells
middle
Mitosis Cont.
• Paired Chromosomes
separate and move
toward the opposite
pole of the cell guided
by the spindle fibers
Mitosis cont.
• Chromosomes reach
opposite poles of the
cell
• Begin to uncoil into
chromatin
• Nuclear envelope and
nucleolus begin to
reform
Asexual Reproduction
• Some organisms use mitosis to reproduce.
– All offspring are genetically identical to the
parent.
– Forms of asexual reproduction
Budding
Meiosis
• The process of cell division in which
haploid gametes are produced from diploid
cells
– Occurs in 2 stages

Meiosis I
Meiosis II
23
– Allows for genetic recombination

Genetic Recombination: Shuffling
genes from parents to get new combinations
• Crossing Over
– Exchanging equivalent
information from
homologous chromosomes
• Random Assortment of
Chromosomes
– Independent Assortment
– Chance distributes maternal
and paternal chromosomes
to gametes
Fertilization
• The fusion of 2 haploid gametes to produces a diploid
zygote.
• Fertilization is random.
– Adds to genetic variation.
Possible
sperm
Possible
eggs
How many different zygote
combinations can these
make?
Other Sources of Variation
• Gene Mutation
– A change in the
sequences
– Types
DNA
• Point mutations
• Frameshift mutations
– Effects
• Advantagous: produces a phenotype that is more suited to the
environment
• Neutral: does not help or hurt survival
• Lethal: produces a phenotype that is less suited to the
environment or causes a disease
Mistakes in Meiosis
• Nondisjunction: The failure of homologous
chromosomes to separate properly.
– Trisomy
• Down’s Syndrome

separated?
How many cells are produced?
Cells all the same?
Used for asexual or sexual
reproduction?
