Cell Division Mitosis and Meiosis
2
Types of Cell Division Mitosis
occurs in all body cells (somatic cells) in animals, plants, and humans production of 2 identical daughter cells that are diploid growth or replacement of body cells. asexual reproduction. (offspring and parents are identical)
3
Types of Cell Division 2) Meiosis
occurs only is sex cells (sperm and egg) production of the 4 non-identical gametes (sex cells) that are haploid Sperm and eggs have half the genetic information sexual reproduction
5
The Cell Cycle 10% time dividing (mitotic phase/meiotic phase)
90% time interphase (G1, S, G2 phases)
6
Interphase 1) G1 (gap phase) -manufactures proteins and amino acids needed for both cell processes and cell division, carries out metabolic duties Cell grows 2) S phase (synthesis phase) – DNA replicates. -longest stage of the cell cycle
7
3) G2 (gap phase) grows larger
increases the rate of protein synthesis and prepares to divide. grows larger
8
Division Mitosis or Meiosis
cell can divide only about 50 times on average. To ensure that the cells in a tissue are healthy, cells will undergo a form of cell suicide called apoptosis. Cell Death
9
Terms Chromatin – complex long threads made of DNA and protein that makes up chromosomes Uncondensed chromosome – long, thin strands not visible with light microscope Condensed chromosome – short and visible
11
Chromosome vs. Chromatid
Chromosomes replicate before division to form 2 matched sister chromatids
12
Ploidy Humans have 46 chromosomes (diploid or 2N)
Sex gametes have 23 chromosomes (haploid or N Some organisms have polyploidy Ex) corn – 4n (tetraploidy)
13
Homologous chromosomes
–same size and shape and carry the genes for the same traits, but have different details Humans have 23 homologous chromosomes for a total of 46
14
Gene basic unit of heredity sequence of nucleotide bases in DNA.
codes for a specific proteins
15
Autosomes – chromosomes that do not influence gender (humans have 22 pairs of these)
Sex Chromosomes – X and Y chromosomes that determine gender in humans (humans have 1 pair of these, the 23rd chromosome pair)
16
Mitosis
17
Prophase (longest phase)
Early: chromatin condenses to form chromosomes, centrioles move to poles and attach to spindle fibres Late: spindle fibres attach to centromere, nuclear membrane dissolves
18
Metaphase chromosomes line up on the equatorial plate (center of the nucleus)
19
Anaphase Spindle fibres contract from the centrioles and sister chromatids begin to separate apart, immediately chromosomes being to unravel
20
Telophase nucleolus re-appears, nuclear membrane reforms, the chromosomes unravel to form a loose mass of chromatin cells undergo cytokinesis (divide cytoplasm)
21
Plant vs Animal Cells a cell plate forms between the new daughter cells the cell membrane pinches in between the two daughter cells
22
Mitosis Overall
23
Some Methods of Asexual Reproduction
1. Binary fission - equal division of both the organism cytoplasm and nucleus to form two identical organisms ex: Protist, amoeba
24
2) Budding - one parent dividing its nucleus (genetic material) equally, but cytoplasm unequally ex: Fungi- yeast
25
Meiosis – Sexual Cell Division
Occurs in sexual reproduction The end result is 4 gamates that are genetically different Spermatagonium4 sperms Oogonium 4 eggs
26
Meiosis I – Reduction Division
Prophase I – homologous chromosomes undergo synapsis (pair up) and crossing over occurs. -also, as in mitosis prophase: Chromos condense Nuclear membrane disappears Centrioles move to opposite poles -tetrad
27
Metaphase I – homologous pairs line up along the equatorial plate, spindles insert into the centromeres.
28
Anaphase I – homologous chromosomes separate and are pulled to opposite poles
= segregation
29
Chromosomes undergo independent assortment in during Anaphase I
-increases genetic diversity
30
Telophase I – daughter cells separate, each has one chromosome from each homologous pair.
-reduction has occurred so that the new cells will be haploid (n) -cytokinesis occurs
31
Meiosis II – like mitosis but no initial replication of DNA -very brief, not as long as meiosis I
Prophase II –spindles form
32
Metaphase II –chromosomes align at the equatorial plate
33
Anaphase II – the daughter chromatids separate and move towards separate poles
34
Telophase II – spindle fibres disappear, nuclei reform and cytokinesis takes place. (All 4 daughter cells are haploid.)
35
How many genetic combinations of gamates?
The number of possible chromosome combination in a gamate is 2^n Where ‘n’ is the haploid number Ex. Humans n=23, thus 2^23 =8, 388, 608 different combinations!! Now THAT’S diversity!!

Human Life Cycle

Fern Life Cycle
39
Oogenesis
40
Spermatogenesis
41
Oogenesis vs Spermatogenesis
Oogenesis (female) meiosis II completes only if egg is fertilized Secondary oocyte receives most of the cytoplasm and becomes the egg polar bodies have less cytoplasm and degenerate one egg cell is produced Spermatogenesis (male) meiosis I and II are both completed before fertilization each sperm cell produced receives an equal share of cytoplasm flagellum forms from one of the centrioles four spermatids are produced
42
Human Karyotype Chart
43
Gender Female is XX Male is XY XX XY
44
Chromosomal abnormalities can be detected by doing a karyotype chart.
Fetal cells are collected through amniocentesis or chorionic villi sampling
45
Successful cell division relies on 2 things:
1. accurate replication of the chromosomes 2. exact separation / distribution of the chromosomes
46
Trisomy –three chromosomes replace a normal pair (47 chromosomes in humans)
47
Abnormal Meiosis Non-disjunction – occurs during meiosis when two homologous chromosomes move to the same pole. Chromosomes do not separate properly Normal Division Non-disjunction
48
Some Common Genetic Disorders
Down’s syndrome – trisomy 21 Extra 21 chromosome more common in children born to women over 40 characterized by short stature, folds to the eyelids, stubby fingers, wide gap between 1st and 3rd toes, large fissured tongue, round head, palm creases, mild to severe mental retardation.
50
Edward’s syndrome – trisomy 18
results in severe overall defects with a life expectance of only 10 weeks Patau’s syndrome – trisomy 13 results in non-functioning eyes, severe deficits and limited life expectancy.
51
Klinefelter’s syndrome – XXY male
sterile males with underdeveloped testes, overdeveloped breast tissue and sub-normal intelligence
52
Metafemale – XXX female
no obvious deficits however menstrual irregularities and early menopause are common, some have increase aggression XYY male taller than normal, recurrent acne
53
Monosomy –one chromosome replaces a normal pair (45 chromosomes in humans)
54
Turner’s syndrome – XO female
females with short stature, broad chest, heart defects, lack of breasts and absence of sexual maturation and menstruation Cri du Chat syndrome deletion of a portion of one copy of chromosome number 5, malformed face and head, short life
55
Societal Issues of Cell Division
Cloning identical offspring are formed from a single cell or tissue of the parent. (similar to mitosis) when plants send out runners, when bacteria divide and in identical twins.
57
How to Clone: (the quick and easy, yet not so successful way)
Take an egg cell from an adult female and remove the nucleus (enucleation). Replace the nucleus with the nucleus from a body cell of the individual to be cloned. (the cell must be toti-potent, or have its identity genes turned off) (you can use stem cells here)
58
Zap it!!! (a little magic is required here)
Implant the zygote or blastula into the mother’s uterus. Wait until the gestational period is up and voila! Click and Clone
60
Dolly nucleus from udder cell put into egg cell
61
Problems with cloning:
some think it is wrong!!! (ethical issue) artificially cloned organisms seem to age faster it is very time and resource consuming and is not guaranteed to work
62
Cell Ageing the ends of the chromosomes, called telomeres, shorten each time a cell divides, and when they become critically short, the cell dies. Totipotent: when cells reach a certain number of divisions, or age, DNA begins to altered
63
Cancer May be caused due to mutation of genes
abnormal, uncontrolled cell division. May be caused due to mutation of genes Tumour suppressor genes – suppress cell division. (mutation turns these off) Proto-oncogenes – stimulate cell division. (mutation turns these on) Telomeres do not shrink in cancerous cells
64
Why is cancer bad Cancer cells do not participate in helping the body to function. Cancer cells require and take away nutrients Cancer cells can break away (metastasis) from the tumour mass and spread to other parts of the body. NOVA Online | Cancer Warrior | How Cancer Grows
