Study Notes
Cell Biology and the Cell Cycle
- A human zygote consists of 46 chromosomes, with 23 inherited from the mother.
- Labrador retriever color variations are due to meiosis, enabling different offspring colors from two parents.
- Diploid cells, designated as 2n, contain two homologues for each chromosome, organized in pairs.
- The cell cycle involves growth, DNA replication, and cell division.
- Mitosis produces two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell.
Stages of Mitosis and Meiosis
- Homologous chromosomes pair during prophase 1 of meiosis.
- In mitosis' anaphase, chromatids separate at the centromere, while in meiosis I, homologous chromosomes segregate.
- The cell cycle progresses through phases: G1, S (synthesis), G2, followed by mitotic phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Chromosome Composition and Reproduction
- Haploid cells contain a single set of chromosomes, while diploid cells have two sets.
- Sexual reproduction involves the formation of gametes, which have the chromosome number represented as n + n = 2n during fertilization.
Cancer and Cell Division
- Cancer refers to the uncontrolled division of certain body cells, leading to tissue invasion and interference with normal body functions.
- Mitosis is a type of division resulting in identical parent and daughter cells. In contrast, meiosis results in non-identical daughter cells.
- Meiosis involves two rounds of division and produces four daughter cells, while mitosis results in two.
Genetic Variation
- The law of independent assortment explains the genetic variation in offspring, such as siblings having different eye colors despite the same hair color.
- Somatic cells can replicate; a somatic cell with 8 chromosomes has 16 chromosomes by the end of the S phase.
- A somatic cell maintains the same chromosome number post-division, exemplified by a cell with 44 chromosomes that remains unchanged after division.
Unique Processes in Cell Division
- Tetrad refers to a pair of homologous chromosomes during meiosis.
- Binary fission is a process of asexual reproduction common in unicellular organisms.
- Plant cell mitosis features a cell plate, which is absent in animal cell mitosis.
