    Study Notes

    Overview of Cell Cycle and Division

    • Key processes of life include cell reproduction, essential for growth and repair.
    • The cell cycle consists of orderly phases leading to cell division and generation of daughter cells.
    • Two main types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis, each with distinct functions and implications.

    The Cell Cycle

    • Mitosis and Meiosis are critical for organism development and maintenance.
    • The cell cycle is an ordered series of events including growth, DNA replication, and division.
    • Cell growth and replication occur during Interphase, divided into:
      • G1 Phase: Cell grows, synthesizes DNA building blocks, and accumulates energy.
      • S Phase: DNA replication occurs, forming sister chromatids attached at the centromere.
      • G2 Phase: Energy and proteins necessary for mitosis are prepared and organelles are duplicated.

    Mitosis

    • Mitosis ensures equal chromosome distribution to daughter cells, maintaining chromosome number.
    • Mitosis includes:
      • Prophase: Chromosomes condense and become visible; nuclear envelope disintegrates.
      • Metaphase: Chromosomes align at metaphase plate; microtubules attach to kinetochores.
      • Anaphase: Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles; cell elongation begins.
      • Telophase: Chromosomes decondense; nuclear envelope and nucleolus reappear; cytokinesis occurs.

    Importance of Mitosis

    • Produces two identical daughter cells, critical for growth, repair, and hair growth, as well as replacing damaged cells.

    Meiosis

    • Meiosis reduces chromosome number by half, producing haploid cells for sexual reproduction.
    • Involves two main divisions:
      • Meiosis I (Reductional Division): Homologous chromosomes are separated.
      • Meiosis II (Equational Division): Sister chromatids are separated.

    Meiosis I Stages

    • Prophase I: Chromosomes condense; synapsis occurs with potential crossing-over, enhancing genetic diversity.
      • Stages: Leptotene, Zygotene, Pachytene, Diplotene, Diakinesis.
    • Metaphase I: Homologous chromosomes align at the equatorial plate.
    • Anaphase I: Homologous chromosomes separate, each still paired with sister chromatids.
    • Telophase I: Cells contain half the original chromosome number and undergo cytokinesis.

    Meiosis II Stages

    • Similar to mitosis but leads to haploid daughter cells:
      • Prophase II: Chromosomes condense; nuclear membrane dissolves.
      • Metaphase II: Chromosomes align at the equatorial plate; kinetochores attach.
      • Anaphase II: Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles.

    Genetic Disorders from Meiosis

    • Nondisjunction can lead to conditions such as Down syndrome (due to chromosome 21 errors) and Klinefelter syndrome (XXY).
