Asexual Cell Reproduction “Chapter 17” General Outcomes In this unit you will… Describe the processes of mitosis and meiosis. Explain the basic rules and processes associated with transmission of genetic characteristics. Explain classical genetics at a molecular level. Curriculum Outcomes Key Terms The Importance of Cell Division Imagine what you would look like if you peeled your back after a sun burn and new cells did not replace the dead skin cells. Without cell division scratches would never heal. If your red blood cells did not divide you would die. Cell Cycle Cell Cycle Cell Cycle Cells reproduce to make new cells. The process for making new cells is called the cell cycle. New cells are produced by the cell cycle. Principles of Mitosis Cell theory states that all living things are made up of one or more cells. Cells are formed from preexisting cells by cell division. Binary fission – is a form of asecual reproduction in which one cell divides into two equal cells. Division involves two phases: division of nuclear material division of cytoplasm Mitosis – is a type of cell division in which daughter cells receive the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Cytokinesis – the division of cytoplasm Chromosome Structure Chromosomes contain both DNA and a number of proteins. Combination of DNA and proteins is called chromatin. As a cell moves through the cell cycle, chromosomes may either be uncondensed or condensed. Uncondensed are long, thin strands that cannot be seen under a microscope. Condensed can be seen under a microscope, can be unduplicated or duplicated. Duplicated – the original is attached to its copy by a centromere. while attached the two chromosomes are called sister chromatids (contain identical genetic material) Unduplicated and Duplicated Chromosomes Mitosis During interphase a cell's DNA is doubled. At metaphase the DNA is organized into a doubled chromosome made of two chromatids. What will happen to the two chromatids at the end of the cell cycle? Each chromatid becomes a chromosome in daughter cells of the original cell. Cells produced by mitosis have identical chromosomes. The chromosomes are now single chromosomes. What is the difference between a single chromosome and a double chromosome? Stages of Cell Division “Interphase” Interphase – describes the processes of cell activity between divisions. Most cells spend their time in this phase. Cell grows, and carries out chemical activities that sustain life during this period. Cells make proteins to repair damage, move nutrients. Single strands become double strands. “Prophase” First phase of cell division. Contents of nucleus become visible (chromosomes shorten + thicken) Centrioles - Small bodies that separate and move to opposite poles. (provide attachment for spindle fibers) Spindle fibers – are protein structures that guide chromosomes during cell division. Chromosomes consist of two chromatids held together by a centromere. “Metaphase” Second phase Chromosomes composed of sister chromatids move toward the center of the cell. This area is called the equatorial plate (imaginary line that divides the cell and its chromosomes) Chromosomes appear are dark thick masses attached to spindle fibers. Chromatids become intertwined. “Anaphase” Third phase Centromeres divide and chromatids move to opposite poles of the cell. Same number of single-stranded chromosomes will be found at each pole. “Telophase” Last phase Chromosomes reach opposite poles of the cell They begin to lengthen and intertwine. Spindle fibers dissolve and nuclear membrane begins to form around each mass of chromatin. Telophase is followed by the division of the cyctoplasm. “Cytoplasm Division” Once chromosomes have moved to opposite poles, the cytoplasm begins to divide. Cytokinesis – or division of the cytoplasm, appears to be separate from nuclear division. Division of the cytoplasm must provide organelles for each newly established cell.

Homework Review Questions Page 434 Questions 1 - 6 Cloning Process of forming identical offspring from a single cell or tissue in the parent organ. Plant Cloning Plant Cloning Technology 1958 Fredrick Stewart revealed that he had produced a plant from a single carrot cell. Many plants like orchids are produced from clones Not all plants can be cloned grass and legume families cannot. Lab Plant Cloning Animal Cloning Technology Robert Biggs and Thomas King investigated nuclear transplants in frogs. Extracted nucleus from an unfertilized egg with a glass tube. The egg cell with the transplanted nucleus began to divide. Dolly the sheep was another example of this Animal Cloning Animal Cloning Animal Cloning Dolly Summary Homework Review Questions Page 440 Questions 7 -12 Page 443 Questions 13 -17
