Unit 2 lesson 1: Mitosis
ROLE OF DNA IN REPRODUCTION
FOUND IN EUKARYOTES’ NUCLEUS
CHROMATIN: NEARLY INVISIBLE THREAD-LIKE DNA – PROTEIN STRUCTURES IN NUCLEUS
CHROMOSOMES: EASILY VISIBLE, COMPACTED CHROMATIN FORMED DURING MITOSIS
CHROMATID: DUPLICATED CHROMOSOMES FORMED DURING MITOSIS
CENTROMERES: STRUCTURE CONNECTING TWO DUPLICATED CHROMOSOMES AT CENTER
CELL CYCLE: THE 3 STAGE LIFE CYCLE OF AN EUKARYOTE CELL
INTERPHASE: PERIOD THE CELL IS NOT DIVIDING
• THE LONGEST STAGE OF CELL CYCLE, CELL GROW TWICE ITS BEGINNING SIZE
• PRODUCES ORGANELLES, PERFORMS LIFE ACTIVITIES
• ENDS WITH THE DUPLICATION OF DNA
MITOSIS: 4 PART PROCESS THAT EXACTLY DUPLICATES CELL’S NUCLEUS
CYTOKINESIS: DIVISION OF THE CELL’S CYTOPLASM TAKES PLACE
MITOSIS: 4 PART PROCESS THAT EXACTLY DUPLICATES CELL’S NUCLEUS
1. PROPHASE: DOUBLED CHROMATIN CONDENSE INTO CHROMOSOMES
• CHROMOSOMES MADE OF 2 CHROMATID HELD TOGETHER BY CENTROMERE
• NUCLEAR MEMBRANE DISSOLVES
2. METAPHASE: RELEASED CHROMOSOMES LINE UP IN CELL CENTER
• CENTRIOLES FORM THIN SPINDLE FIBERS
• SPINDLE FIBERS ATTACH TO CENTROMERES
3. ANAPHASE: SPINDLE FIBERS SEPARATE, PULL CHROMOSOMES TO OPPOSITE SIDES
4. TELOPHASE: 2 NEW NUCLEAR MEMBRANES FORM AROUND CHROMOSOMES
CYTOKINESIS: DIVISION OF THE CELL’S CYTOPLASM TAKES PLACE
NEW CELL MEMBRANE DIVIDES CYTOPLASM
CHROMOSOMES UN-COMPACT IN TO CHROMATIN
2 NEW, IDENTICAL DAUGHTER CELLS FORMED
Unit 2 lesson 2: Meiosis
CHROMOSOMES: USUALLY FOUND IN HOMOLOGOUS (IDENTICAL) PAIRS
DIPLOID: ONE PAIR OF CHROMOSOMES
HUMANS HAVE 23 PAIRS (46 CHROMOSOMES): ONLY ONE PAIR NOT HOMOLOGOUS
HUMAN SEX CHROMOSOME CONTROL GENDER AND SECONDARY SEXUAL
CHARACTERISTICS
XX SEX CHROMOSOME RESULTS IN FEMALE
XY SEX CHROMOSOME RESULTS IN MALE
HALF OF EACH PAIR COMES FROM ONE PARENT’S GAMETE
GAMETES: HAPLOID MALE (SPERM) OR FEMALE (EGG) SEX CELLS
HAPLOID CELLS: CONTAIN ONLY ½ OF THE NEEDED CHROMOSOMES
MEIOSIS: CELL DIVISION THAT PRODUCES HAPLOID SEX CELLS
PROCESS RANDOMLY MIXES GENES (DNA CHAINS RESPONSIBLE FOR CHARACTERISTICS)
RESEMBLES MITOSIS DONE TWICE, PRODUCES 4 HAPLOID SEX CELLS WITH MIXED TRAITS
2 STAGE PROCESS
• MEIOSIS 1: RESEMBLES MITOSIS, SOME GENES CROSS, MIX
o CHROMATIDS REMAINED JOINED BY CENTROMERES
o NEW NUCLEAR, CELL MEMBRANES FORM – CELL FORMED NOT IDENTICAL
• MEIOSIS II: NO NEW DUPLICATION, MITOSIS-LIKE PROCESS
o WITHOUT DNA REPLICATION, RESULTING CELLS HAVE HALF-SET OF CHROMOSOMES
o 4 HAPLOID SEX CELLS RESULT
DOWN’S SYNDROME: GENETIC DISEASE CAUSED BY SEX CHROMOSOMES INSTEAD OF A PAIR
MAY CAUSE HEALTH ISSUES AND LEARNING DISABILITIES
MORE FREQUENT IN FEMALES
