Title: Cell Division


1
Cell Division
2
Purposes of cell division
  • Increase the number of cells for growth and
    repair of worn out tissues
  • Transmit genetic information to later generations
  • Reproduction and heredity

3
What's inside the nucleus?
chromosome
nucleus
chromatins
4
What is a chromosome?
  • Genetic materials found inside the nucleus of a
    cell
  • Made of protein and DNA
  • DNA controls protein synthesis
  • ? Control the appearance of characters and
    metabolic activities of an organism

5
  • A gene is a short length of DNA on chromosome
    which controls an inherited character of the
    organism

gene controlling skin colour
gene controlling tongue rolling
chromosome
gene controlling eye colour
  • A chromosome carries a lot of genes

gene controlling blood group
6
  • Each species has a fixed number of chromosomes in
    the nucleus of each of its cells
  • Chromosomes always exist in pairs in the body
    (somatic) cells

Homologous chromosomes
  • Each human somatic cell has 46 chromosomes
  • 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes

7
  • Members of homologous chromosomes carry same
    genes
  • But the genes on the members of homologous
    chromosomes may be of different forms
  • ? Alleles

allele for white skin colour
allele for white skin colour
8
Alleles
  • Alternative forms of genes on the same position
    of the homologous chromosomes which control the
    same character but have different expressions

9
  • 22 pairs are identical in both sexes
  • autosomes
  • The 23rd pair is different in male and female
  • sex chromosomes

10
Steps of cell division
  • Nuclear division
  • Cytoplasmic cleavage

11
CELL CYCLES
12
Types of nuclear division
  • Mitosis
  • Meiosis

13
Mitosis
  • Produces two identical daughter cells
  • Each daughter cell has the same kind and number
    of chromosomes as the original parent cell

14
Interphase (Resting stage)
  • Chromosomes cannot be seen
  • Chromosomes duplicate and double in number

15
Prophase
nuclear membrane disappearing
chromatids
centromere
  • Chromosomes become visible
  • Each chromosome consists of two identical
    chromatids

homologous chromosomes
16
Metaphase
  • Chromosomes line up at the equator (centre of the
    cell)
  • Spindles are formed to attach to the centromere
    of each chromosome

17
Anaphase
chromosomes
  • Sister chromatids separate as individual
    chromosomes
  • They move apart towards the opposite poles

18
Telophase
nuclear membrane forming
  • Chromosomes gradually disappear
  • Nuclear membrane is form around each set of
    chromosomes

Significance of mitosis
  • To ensure that each daughter cell maintains
    exactly the same number and kind of chromosomes
    as the parent cell
  • ?Mitosis is important in produce more cells for
  • growth
  • repair
  • replacing dead and damaged cells
  • asexual reproduction

47
Meiosis
  • Producing cells with chromosome number half of
    the parent cell
  • Cells having pairs of homologous chromosomes -
    diploid (2n)
  • e.g. body (somatic) cells
  • Cells having one chromosome from each homologous
    pair - haploid (n)
  • e.g. gametes
  • Two nuclear divisions
  • Meiosis I and meiosis II
  • Four haploid cells are produced

48
Prophase I
  • Chromosomes become visible
  • Nuclear membrane disappears

49
Prophase I
  • Homologous chromosomes pair up
  • Crossing-over may occur between homologous
    chromosomes

50
Metaphase I
  • Homologous chromosomes lie up at the middle of
    the cell randomly

51
Anaphase I
  • The 2 members of each homologous pair of
    chromosomes separate from each other and move to
    opposite poles of the cell

52
Telophase I
  • Nuclear membrane reforms
  • Followed by cytoplasmic cleavage
  • Each cell has half the chromosome number as the
    parent cell

53
Second meiotic division
  • Separation of chromatids of each chromosome
  • 4 daughter cells with half of the chromosome
    number of the parent cells are formed

54

55
Occurrence of meiosis
  • Plants anthers and ovules
  • Mammals testes and ovaries

56
What would happen if gametes are formed by
mitosis?
Male (2n)
Female (2n)
Mitosis
Sperm (2n)
Egg (2n)
Fertilization
Zygote (4n)
Mitosis
Sperm/Egg (4n)
Fertilization
Zygote (8n)
57
Significance of meiosis
  • Leads to halving of chromosome number, so to
    ensure that the diploid number of chromosomes can
    be restored after fertilization

58
Significance of meiosis
  • Produce genetic variation at
  • crossing-over between homologous chromosomes
    during prophase I
  • independent assortment of chromosomes during
    metaphase I

59
Crossing-over during meiosis
60
Independent assortment
61
Sources of genetic variation
  • Crossing-over between homologous chromosomes
    during meiosis
  • Independent assortment of chromosomes during
    meiosis
  • Random fusion of gametes during fertilization
  • Mutation
