    Study Notes

    DNA Consistency in Cells

    • Every cell in the body contains the same DNA, ensuring uniform genetic material across different cell types.
    • Chromosomes form prior to cell division to guarantee that daughter cells receive a complete set of genetic material.

    Process of Cell Division

    • Mitosis is the process where the nucleus divides before the entire cell division.
    • Prior to mitosis, DNA is replicated, creating two copies for each daughter cell.
    • Effective sorting and separation of chromosomes during cell division ensures that each daughter cell receives identical genetic information.

    Structure of Chromosomes

    • Chromosomes are coiled structures composed of DNA and proteins, facilitating proper segregation during cell division.
    • In non-dividing phases, DNA exists as chromatin, a less condensed and grainy form.

    Chromatid and Centromere

    • After DNA replication, each chromosome appears as an "X," consisting of two identical sister chromatids connected at the centromere.
    • Sister chromatids ensure that each resulting cell inherits the same genetic information.

    DNA and Genes

    • Chromosomes encode genetic instructions for protein synthesis, organized into units called genes.
    • Each gene typically provides instructions for a single protein, with many genes present on each chromosome.

    Human Chromosome Structure

    • Human cells typically contain two sets of chromosomes: one inherited from each parent.
    • Each set has 23 chromosomes, totaling 46 chromosomes per cell, organized into 23 pairs.
    • Homologous chromosomes in pairs share size, shape, and genetic content but contain different alleles (variant forms of the same gene).
