Study Notes
Cell Cycle, Mitosis, Meiosis, and Gametogenesis
- Cells arise from pre-existing cells through cell division, including mitosis and meiosis.
- Cytokinesis follows nuclear division.
Cell Cycle
- A cycle of stages cells go through to divide and produce new cells.
- Consists of:
- Interphase (non-dividing period)
- G1 phase: Cell growth
- S phase: DNA replication
- G2 phase: Growth and final preparations for division
- Cell division:
- Mitosis (nuclear division)
- Cytokinesis (cytoplasmic division)
- Interphase (non-dividing period)
Chromosomes
- Before cell division, DNA replicates.
- Duplicated chromosomes consist of two sister chromatids joined at the centromere.
- During division, sister chromatids separate into two unduplicated chromosomes.
- Each human somatic cell has 46 chromosomes.
Karyotype
- An image of homologous chromosomes (matching pairs) arranged by size, centromere position, and banding pattern.
- Human male karyotype has XY sex chromosomes.
- Human female karyotype has XX sex chromosomes.
Mitosis
- A type of cell division resulting in two genetically identical daughter cells.
- Stages:
- Prophase
- Metaphase
- Anaphase
- Telophase
Meiosis
- A type of cell division that produces four haploid daughter cells (gametes).
- Stages:
- Meiosis I:
- Prophase I
- Metaphase I
- Anaphase I
- Telophase I
- Meiosis II:
- Prophase II
- Metaphase II
- Anaphase II
- Telophase II
- Meiosis I:
Spermatogenesis
- Production of sperm in male testes.
- Stages:
- Spermatogonium
- Primary spermatocyte
- Secondary spermatocyte
- Spermatids
- Mature sperm cells
Oogenesis
- Production of oocytes in female ovaries.
- Stages:
- Oogonium
- Primary oocyte
- Secondary oocyte
- Ovum (egg)
Genetics
- Study of DNA, genes, and their transmission.
- Gene: Unit of heredity; encodes for specific proteins.
- Alleles: Alternative versions of a gene
- Homozygous: Identical alleles (e.g., AA, aa)
- Heterozygous: Different alleles (e.g., Aa)
- Genotype: Genetic makeup (e.g., AA, Aa)
- Phenotype: Observable physical traits (e.g., purple flowers)
Mendelian Genetics of Corn
- Gregor Mendel's laws of inheritance, often illustrated using corn kernels.
- Characters examined: kernel color, kernel shape
Human Blood Groups
- Determined by antigens on red blood cells (RBCs).
- Blood type: A, B, AB, or O, determined by genotypes IAIA,IAi, IBIB, IBi, IAIB ,or ii.
- Rh factor: presence or absence of Rh antigen (Rh+ or Rh-)
