Study Notes
Frog Embryo Development
- Gametogenesis occurs in gonads, leading to the formation of haploid gametes.
- Male gonads (testes) undergo spermatogenesis to produce spermatozoa.
- Female gonads (ovaries) undergo oogenesis to produce oocytes.
Fertilization and Early Development
- Fertilization activates the egg by sperm, resulting in a diploid zygote.
- Cleavage is the mitotic division of the zygote that forms a multicellular embryo.
- Gastrulation involves cell migration that establishes primitive germ layers.
- Formation of the Body Plan formalizes the structure of the embryo.
- Organogenesis is the process where organs grow and differentiate.
Mitosis and the Cell Cycle
- Mitosis involves the distribution of chromosomes into two daughter nuclei.
- Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm, resulting in two genetically identical daughter cells.
- Interphase consists of three phases: G1, S, and G2.
- G1 phase includes metabolic activity and cell growth.
- S phase encompasses DNA synthesis with chromosome duplication.
- G2 phase prepares the cell for division with additional growth and metabolic activity.
- Each daughter cell can initiate a new cell cycle after division.
Meiosis and Gamete Formation
- Meiosis enables the generation of haploid gametes within the gonads.
- Meiosis I includes the separation of homologous chromosomes.
- In Prophase I, spindle formation and homologous chromosomes pair up, allowing segment exchange.
- Metaphase I sees chromosomes aligned along the mitotic spindle.
- Anaphase I is characterized by the segregation of homologous chromosomes.
Key Concepts
- Haploid Cells produced through meiosis increase genetic diversity.
- Mitosis results in two genetically identical cells, while meiosis leads to gamete formation.
- Each cell cycle in mitosis and meiosis has distinct stages critical for proper cell division and genetic distribution.### Chromosome Separation and Meiosis II
- Homologous chromosomes separate during the first meiotic division.
- Meiosis II involves sister chromatids undergoing separation.
- Prophase II and Metaphase II are key stages in the second meiotic division.
Telophase I and Cleavage Furrow
- Early Telophase I results in the formation of two haploid cells.
- During cleavage furrow formation, the cell membrane begins to indent for division.
Chromosome Structure in Meiosis II
- Each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids during Anaphase II.
- Telophase II entails the completion of meiosis, resulting in four haploid daughter cells.
Final Stages of Meiosis
- Cytokinesis occurs after Telophase II to complete cell division.
- New plasma membranes form around daughter cells, each with a nucleus containing half the genetic information.
