Study Notes
Human Genetics
- Study material for 3rd Stage Medical Laboratory Techniques students at Al-Salam University, Baghdad, Iraq.
- Content covers cell cycle checkpoints, cell cycle, mitosis, and meiosis.
Cell Cycle Checkpoints
- Control mechanisms ensuring proper cell cycle progression.
- Assess cell conditions at each checkpoint.
- Major checkpoints: G1 (Start/Restriction), G2/M, and Metaphase-to-Anaphase.
- Progression through checkpoints determined by cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs).
- Different cyclin forms produced at each cell cycle stage to control specific events.
Cell Cycle and Checkpoints
- Stages: G1, S, G2, and M (Mitosis)
- G1 Checkpoint: Occurs towards the end of G1 phase. Ensures cell size, protein synthesis are appropriate for DNA replication prior to S phase.
- DNA Synthesis Checkpoint: Occurs during the S phase. Checks correctness of DNA replication.
- Mitosis Checkpoint: During the M phase. Ensures mitosis is complete before cell division.
Phases of Cell Cycle
- Interphase: Cell growth and chromosome copying.
- Mitotic (M) phase: Includes mitosis and cytokinesis.
- Interphase subdivided further into G1, S, and G2 phases
- G1 phase: The longest and variable phase. Cells gather nutrients, synthesize RNA and proteins, prepare for DNA replication.
- S phase: DNA replication. Cell DNA content doubles.
- G2 phase: Cell prepares for division. Cell growth, checks replicated DNA.
Mitosis
- Cell division that increases cell number, permits renewal of cell populations, and allows wound repair.
- Karyokinesis (nuclear division) and cytokinesis (cytoplasm division).
- Phases of Mitosis:
- Prophase: Chromatin condenses, nuclear envelope disappears.
- Metaphase: Chromosomes align at the metaphase plate.
- Anaphase: Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles.
- Telophase: Chromosomes decondense, nuclear envelope reforms, cytokinesis begins.
- Cytokinesis: Completion of cell division producing two daughter cells.
Meiosis
-
Two sequential nuclear divisions producing gametes (sex cells).
-
Reduced chromosome number to half the parent cell's.
-
Haploid gametes combine during fertilization to form a diploid zygote.
-
Gametes (e.g., sperm and egg) have one copy of each chromosome.
-
Meiosis I: Reductional division (chromosome number reduction).
- Stages of Meiosis I: Prophase I (with 5 substages: Leptotene, Zygotene, Pachytene, Diplotene, Diakinesis), Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I.
-
Meiosis II: Equational division (sister chromatids separate).
- Stages of Meiosis II: Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II.
-
Differences in meiosis between males and females.
-
Male: Results in 4 genetically different haploid spermatids that differentiate into spermatozoa.
-
Female: Results in one ovum and 3 polar bodies, which degenerate.
-
Meiosis and genetic variability.
-
Random assortment and crossing over result in genetically unique gametes.
