Describe the structure of a chromosome.
Identify the differences in structure between prokaryotic chromosomes and eukaryotic chromosomes.
Compare the numbers of chromosomes in different species.
Explain the differences between sex chromosomes and autosomes.

3. Chapter 8 Chromosome Structure
Section 1 Chromosomes
Chapter 8
Chromosome Structure
Chromosomes are rod-shaped structures made of DNA and protein.
In eukaryotes, DNA wraps around proteins called histones to help maintain the compact structure of chromosomes.

Sex Chromosomes and Autosomes
Sex chromosomes are chromosomes that determine the sex of an organism.
All of the other chromosomes in an organism are autosomes.

Diploid and Haploid Cells
Cells having two sets of chromosomes are diploid (2n).
Haploid cells (1n) have only one set of chromosomes.

Describe the events of cell division in prokaryotes.
Name the two parts of the cell that are equally divided during cell division in eukaryotes.
Summarize the events of interphase.
Describe the stages of mitosis.
Compare cytokinesis in animal cells with cytokinesis in plant cells.
Explain how cell division is controlled.

Cell Cycle
The cell cycle is the repeating set of events in the life of a cell.
The cell cycle consists of cell division and interphase.
Cell division in eukaryotes includes nuclear division, called mitosis, and the division of cytoplasm, called cytokinesis.

Interphase
Interphase consists of growth (G1), DNA replication, and preparation for cell division (G2).

20. Chapter 8 Stages of Mitosis
Section 2 Cell Division
Chapter 8
Stages of Mitosis
Mitosis is divided into stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Mitosis results in two offspring cells that are genetically identical to the original cell.

Cytokinesis
During cytokinesis in animal cells, a cleavage furrow pinches in and eventually separates the dividing cell into two cells.
In plant cells, a cell plate separates the dividing cell into two cells.

Control of Cell Division
Cell division in eukaryotes is controlled by many proteins.
Control occurs at three main checkpoints.

When Control is Lost: Cancer
Cancer may result if cells do not respond to control mechanisms.

28. Chapter 8 Objectives Section 3 Meiosis
Compare the end products of meiosis with those of mitosis.
Summarize the events of meiosis I.
Explain crossing-over and how it contributes to the production of unique individuals.
Summarize the events of meiosis II.
Compare spermatogenesis and oogenesis.
Define sexual reproduction.

29. Formation of Haploid Cells
Section 3 Meiosis
Chapter 8
Formation of Haploid Cells
Meiosis is a process of nuclear division that reduces the number of chromosomes in new cells to half the number in the original cell.
Meiosis produces haploid gametes.

30. Formation of Haploid Cells, continued
Section 3 Meiosis
Chapter 8
Formation of Haploid Cells, continued
Meiosis is a process of nuclear division that reduces the number of chromosomes in new cells to half the number in the original cell.
Meiosis leads to four haploid cells (gametes) rather than two diploid cells as in mitosis.

31. Section 3 Meiosis
Chapter 8
Meiosis I
Meiosis I includes prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, and telophase I.
Crossing-over, which is when portions of homologous chromosomes exchange genetics material, occurs during prophase I and results in genetic recombination.
