The Cellular Basis of Inheritance
Repair and Growth
Reproduction
Asexual: process in which a single cell or set of cells produces offspring that inherit all their genetic material from one parent
Sexual: process in which genetic material from two parents combines and produces offspring that differ genetically from either parent
Chromatin
DNA is located in the nucleus In the nucleus, they are found on long,
thin fibers called Chromatin– Chromatin consists of DNA wound
around proteins called histones– Next the DNA is wrapped into a tight
helical formation
Chromosomes
When a cell is preparing to divide, chromatin condense into chromosomes
The human somatic cell (body cell) has 46 chromosomes = diploid– An egg and sperm cell only has 23 =
haploidEach chromosome may contain
thousands of genes
Chromosomes
Before a cell divides, it replicates all of its chromosomes
Each chromosome now consists of 2 identical joined copies called sister chromatids
Each sister chromatid is joined by a centromere
Chromosome
The Cell Cycle
Describes the process of cell division Begins with interphase, followed by mitosis
and cytokinesis
Cell Cycle and Mitosis
The eukaryotic cell cycle is divided into two major phases: interphase and cell division.
A. Interphase
Ninety percent or more of the cell cycle is spent in interphase. During interphase, cellular organelles double in number, the DNA replicates, and protein synthesis occurs. The chromosomes are not visible and the DNA appears as uncoiled chromatin
Interphase
Interphase is divided into the following stages:– G1– S– G2
G1 phase
During G1 phase, the period that immediately follows cell division, the cell grows and differentiates. New organelles are made but the chromosomes have not yet replicated in preparation for cell division.
S phase
DNA synthesis occurs during S phase. The chromosomes replicate in preparation for cell division
G2 phase
During G2 phase, molecules that will be required for cell replication are synthesized.
Cell Division
Cell division consists of nuclear division and cytoplasmic division. Nuclear division is referred to as mitosis while cytoplasmic division is called cytokenesis
Interphase in a plant cell: Interphase in an animal cell
Mitosis (nuclear division)
Mitosis is the nuclear division process in eukaryotic cells and ensures that each daughter cell receives the same number of chromosomes as the original parent cell. Mitosis can be divided into the following phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Prophase
During prophase, the chromatin condenses and the chromosomes become visible. Also the nucleolus disappears, the nuclear membrane fragments, and the spindle appartus forms and attaches to the centromeres of the chromosomes.
Prophase
Prophase in a plant cell Prophase in an animal cell
Metaphase
During metaphase, the nuclear membrane fragmention is complete and the duplicated chromosomes line up along the cell's equator.
Metaphase
Metaphase in a plant cell Metaphase in an animal cell:
Anaphase
During anaphase, diploid sets of daughter chromosomes separate and are pushed and pulled toward opposite poles of the cell. This is accomplished by the polymerization and depolymerization of the microtubules that help to form the spindle apparatus.
Anaphase
Anaphase in a plant cell: Anaphase in an animal cell
Telophase
During telophase, the nuclear membrane and nucleoli reform, cytokinesis is nearly complete, and the chromosomes eventually uncoil to chromatin. Usually cytokinesis occurs during telophase.
Telophase
Telophase in a plant cell Telophase in an animal cell
Cytokinesis (cytoplasmic division)
During cytokinesis, the dividing cell separates into two diploid daughter cells..
Cytokinesis (cytoplasmic division)
In animal cells, which lack a cell wall and are surrounded only by a cytoplasmic membrane, microfilaments of actin and myosin attached to the membrane form constricting rings around the central portion of the dividing cell and eventually divide the cytoplasm into two daughter cells
Cytokinesis (cytoplasmic division)
In the case of plant cells , which are surrounded by a cell wall in addition to the cytoplasmic membrane, carbohydrate-filled vesicles accumulate and fuse along the equator of the cell forming a cell plate that separates the cytoplasm into two daughter cells.
Cytokinesis in plants vs. animal cells
In animal cells, cytokinesis begins in anaphase and continues until the cytoplasm has completely divided equally.– Indentation is caused by the contraction of
microfilaments just under the plasma membrane
In plant cells, a disk containing cell wall material called a cell plate forms inside the cell and grows outward– Eventually the cell wall divides into 2
Mitosis
2 diploid cells are producedSomatic body cellsGenetically identical cells
produced
Cancer
Caused by uncontrolled cell reproduction (mitosis) and severe disruption of the mechanisms that control mitosis
These cells form a mass called a tumor– Benign tumor: abnormal mass of normal cells
Malignant tumor: abnormal mass of cancer cells– Malignant tumor displaces the normal tissue as it
grows– If it is not removed, the cells can break off and
spread to other areas of the body via blood or lymph
– The spread of cancer cells beyond their original site is called metastasis
Karyotype
Typical human cell has 46 chromosomes A display of the all 46 chromosomes is called
a karyotype Each person has 2 twin chromosomes called
homologous chromosomes– Where do you think each came from?
Homologous chromosomes
Each homologous chromosome carries the same sequence of genes controlling a characteristic, but different versions
Example:– Eye color is located on the same place, but may
be different versions (blue, brown, hazel) Different from sister chromatids because the
material is genetically different
Humans have 23 homologous pairs of chromosomes
The 23rd pair are called sex chromosomes All chromosomes look the same except for
the sex csomes– Males have XY– Females have XX
Meiosis
Sexual reproduction that involves formation of sex cells (Chromosome 23)
4 haploid cells are produced Sex cells (gametes) All 4 cells genetically different
