1 Unit 3 Chapter 10 Cell Cycle
Section 10.1

2 A) Chromosome Structure
Chromosomes: rod-shaped structure that holds DNA and proteins -histones: protein that DNA wraps around -nonhistone: proteins that help control DNA activity

3 A) Chromosome Structure
Sister Chromatids: halfs of a chromosomes that contain identical info. Centromere: connecting point of sister chromatids Chromatin: loosely coiled DNA and histones in eukaryotes

4 Chromosome Structure

5 A) Chromosome Structure
5) Prokaryotes: - 1 chromosome - Circular DNA

6 B) Chromosome Numbers Sex Chromosomes: mainly determine sex of organism, but do carry other information - Female: XX - Male: XY

7 All autosomes are in identical pairs
B) Chromosome Numbers Autosomes: Any other chromosome All autosomes are in identical pairs Homologous pairs: two copies of each autosome Code for same size, shape, and traits

8 B) Chromosome Numbers Karyotypes: chart of a complete set of chromosomes for an organism -Humans have 46 chromosomes  23 chromosomes from each parent

9

10 B) Chromosome Numbers Diploid: any set of chromosome pairs Haploid: 1 chromosome, generally sex cells (sperm, eggs)
