-
Three Phases of Interphase
- G1: Growth, Transcription, Translation
- G2: DNA replication (x2 DNA)
-
Phases of Cell Division (M Phase)
- 1. Prophase
- 2. Metaphase
- 3. Anaphase
- 4. Telophase
-
Somatic Cells
- Cells of the body except gametes
- Diploid (2N)/ Two sets of chromosomes
-
Prophase 2N
- 4 visible chromosomes -> each have two sister chromatids
- Nuclear enveloppe
- "Spaghetti" Random positioning of chromosomes
-
Centromere
Holds two sister chromatids
-
Metaphase
- Kinetochore plate anchors chromosome to mitotic spindle
- Individual chromosomes align at metaphase plate (equator)
- Line up in single file
-
Anaphase
- Chromatids separate and move to opposite poles (now called chromosomes)
-
Telophase
- Cytokinesis: Division of Cytoplasm
- Cleavage furrow
- Nuclear enveloppe reforms
- Two Identical daughter cells in interphase
-
Telophase in Plants
- Cytokenesis: Vesicles from the golgi fuse together at the metaphase plate (equator)
- Formation of cell plate
-
Meiosis in animals:
Phases:
formation of...
2 Nuclear Divisions
- 1. Prophase I
- 2. Metaphase I
- 3. Anaphase I
- 4. Telophase I
- 5. Prophase II
- 6. Metaphase II
- 7. Anaphase II
- 8. Telophase II
Gametes (sperm, egg)
-
Meiosis: Prophase I
- Synapsis: Joining of homologous chromosomes -> tetrads
- Crossing over: Homologues exchange genes
-
Meiosis: Metaphase I
- Tetrads align at Metaphase plate
- Independent assortment: members of pair align randomly
-
Sources of genetic variation in Meiosis
- 1. Crossing over: random exchange of genes when forming tetrads (prophase I)
- 2. Independent assortment: members of a pair align randomly
-
Meiosis: Anaphase I
- Tetrads separate from eachother, move to opposite poles
-
Meiosis: Telophase I
- Cytokenesis
- N = 2 chromosomes each with 2 chromatids
-
Meiosis II is Similar to Mitosis
Telophase II produces...
4 different haploid cells
-
Production of sperm cells occurs in
Testes -> seminiferous tubules
-
Sperm production process
Spermatogonium -> primary spermatocyte -> secondary spermatocyte -> sperm cell
-
Haploid or Diploid?
1. Spermatogonium
2. Primary Spermatocyte
3. Secondary Spermatocyte
4. Sperm Cell
- 1. Diploid 2N
- 2. Diploid 2N
- 3. Haploid N
- 4. Haploid N
-
Mitosis, Meiosis I or Meiosis II?
1. Spermatogonium-> Primary Spermatocyte
2. Secondary Spermatocyte-> Sperm Cell
3. Primary Spermatocyte-> Secondary Spermatocyte
- 1. Mitosis
- 2. Meiosis II
- 3. Meiosis I
-
Characteristics of Spermatogenesis
- Even cytokenesis: Equal division of cytoplasm
- Numerous
- Continuous production
-
Production of an ovum occurs in
Ovary
-
Ovum production process:
Primary oocyte -> Secondary Oocyte & First polar body (Meiosis I) -> continues if fertilized
-
When do the following occur?
1. Primary oocyte -> Secondary oocyte & 1st polar body (Meiosis II)
2. Seconday oocyte -> ovulation (meiosis II)
- 1. Before birth
- 2. Puberty or later
-
Characteristics of Oogenesis
- Not continuous (interrupted developement)
- -Woman stats oogenesis before birth
- -"Egg supply" arrested in meiosis I as primary oocytes
- -Secondary oocytes and 1st polar body have same amount of genetic info, but not same amount of cytoplasm
- -At ovulation secondary oocyte is arrested in meiosis II
- -Meiosis II never finished unless fertilized
-
Embryology developement process
Early cleavage -> Morula -> Blastula -> Gastrula
-
Early Cleavage:
Rapid cell divsion (mitosis) with no cellular growth
-
Morula
- Solid mass
-
Blastula
Blastocoel cavity (blastocyst in humans)
-
Gastrula
- Archenteron= primitive gut -> digestive tract
- 3 germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm
-
Germ layers functions
- Ectoderm: develops into brain, nervous system, skin
- Mesoderm: muscle, bone, blood -> heart
- Endoderm: Inside lining of organs
