33 Differentiation We learned that through mitosis all cells in an individuals body contain the same amount and type of DNA We learned that through mitosis all cells in an individuals body contain the same amount and type of DNA So, even though the genetic material is the same, why is it that cells do not look and function the same way, example of diverse cells in text So, even though the genetic material is the same, why is it that cells do not look and function the same way, example of diverse cells in text The process by which a cell develop special structure and functions is called DIFFERENTIATION. The process by which a cell develop special structure and functions is called DIFFERENTIATION.

34 What happens during differentiation? DNA is either active or inactive pending in the cell type via the selective activation of certain portions of the DNA DNA is either active or inactive pending in the cell type via the selective activation of certain portions of the DNA As they mature and differentiate the rate eventually slows and stops As they mature and differentiate the rate eventually slows and stops

35 Apoptosis Programmed cell death is a normal process by which cell numbers within various tissues are adjusted and controlled. During development any extra tissue s removed, such as the webs between the toes and the fingers.

During development any extra tissue s removed, such as the webs between the toes and the fingers.

36 Cellular Aging Cellular Clock after a certain time or number of cell divisions cell death occurs in a given line Cellular Clock after a certain time or number of cell divisions cell death occurs in a given line Death genes turn on causing cells to deteriorate Death genes turn on causing cells to deteriorate DNA damage over years DNA damage over years Free Radicals (unpaired electrons) cause direct damage via mutations Free Radicals (unpaired electrons) cause direct damage via mutations Mitochondrial damage causes a loss of energy needed to maintain cell life Mitochondrial damage causes a loss of energy needed to maintain cell life

37 Cellular Tumor Transformation Tumor- any swelling that occurs within the body Tumor- any swelling that occurs within the body malignant- spreads rapidly, can get large malignant- spreads rapidly, can get large benign- can get large benign- can get large

38 Cancer Cancers are malignant spreading tumors Can spread via the lymphatic, hematologic, or local expansion routes Growth becomes out of control and the cancer breaks away from normal control Occur as a result of viruses, toxins Treatment in the form of Chemotherapy Immunotherapy Radiotherapy ‘ Starvation to cancer

39 Cloning A nucleus removed from a differentiated cell can be transferred to an oocyte with the nucleus removed and a complete frog can be formed A nucleus removed from a differentiated cell can be transferred to an oocyte with the nucleus removed and a complete frog can be formed
