Title: Cell Division-measuring growth


1
Cell Division-measuring growth
  • How would you measure growth?
  • Write your answers on pupil white boards

3
Cell Division-measuring growth
  • Two methods to measure growth are height and
    mass.
  • Other measurements of growth are cell
    length number of cells dry mass
  • Dry mass is the mass of the organism after all
    the water content is removed. It is found by
    drying in an incubator until there is a constant
    mass.

Measurements of growth
Method Advantages Disadvantages
Cell length Easy to measure under a microscope Often irregular shape No reference to number of cells
Number of cells Good indication of overall size Difficult to count them all Doesnt take into account the size of cells
Dry mass Accurate indication of growth Time consuming Organism or part (e.g. leaf) is killed in process
name an organism which could be measured by each
method
5
Questions
  • Jane is 20 years old and has had her height and
    mass measured at regular intervals over one year.
    Suggest why her mass showed greater variability
    than her height.
  • Suggest why organisms need to be dried until
    there is a constant mass.
  • Explain why dry mass is likely to be a more
    accurate measurement of plant growth than mass
    without drying.

6
Mitosis
  • It is important that when cells divide during
    growth that the new (daughter) cells produced
    have the same genetic make up as the original
    (parent) cell- they are clones of the parent
    cell.
  • This means that they have the same number and
    type of genes and chromosomes as the parent cell.
  • This type of cell division is known as mitosis.

7
  • Chromosomes make an identical copy of themselves
    before the cell divides.
  • The copies are called chromatids and are held
    together at the centromere.

Mitosis
  • Mitosis is the type of cell division used in
  • Growth
  • Replacing worn out cells
  • Repairing damaged tissue.

10
3. Chromatids in each chromosome separate are
pulled to opposite ends of the cell by spindle
fibres
2. Chromatids line up along the centre (equator)
of the cell
by spindle fibres
1. Each chromosome replicates into 2 identical
chromatids held together at the centromere
4. Once chromatids reach the opposite ends the
cell divides in 2
5. The 2 new cells contain exactly the same
chromosomes as each other and the parent cell

12
Asexual Reproduction in Plants
  • This produces genetically identical offspring.
  • Cells from the parent plant reproduce identical
    copies of themselves.
  • An example is strawberry runners producing new
    plants.
  • Because the new plants are genetically identical
    to the parent they are called clones.

13
Propagation of Strawberry Plants
New strawberry plants developing from buds on the
runner. Each plant is genetically identical to
the parent.
Parent plant
The runner provides food reserves that allow the
new plants to become established.
14
Taking Cuttings
  • The use of cuttings is a form of cloning that is
    often carried out by gardeners to make larger
    numbers of identical plants

15
Taking Cuttings
Dip cutting into compound that contains hormones
to stimulate root growth
Place in compost until established
Cut a section with a few leaves
16
Activity
  • Take your own plant cuttings from a geranium
    plant and pot them up!
  • Think about what apparatus you will need and plan
    how you will carry this out.

17
Tissue Culture
  • This is a type of cloning that can be carried out
    all year round in a lab.
  • It must be carried out by scientists in sterile
    conditions producing disease free varieties
  • This is used to conserve very rare plants, e.g.
    orchids

19
Advantages of Plant cloning
  • Only plants with desirable qualities are
    produced.
  • It is a quick process producing lots of plants

20
Disadvantages of Plant cloning
  • The lack of variation means that all plants may
    be equally susceptible to disease or have other
    weaknesses.

Cancer
Cancer is produced by uncontrolled cell division.
23
Some causes of cancer
  • UV radiation- this is produced from the sun or
    sunbeds and causes skin cancer.
  • Chemicals in cigarette smoke namely TAR can cause
    lung cancer.
  • Viruses eg Human papilloma virus which can cause
    cervical cancer.

  • Abnormal cells
  • may vary in size
  • may have several nuclei
  • may be unspecialised in shape and function
  • may have irregular, thickened and enlarged
    nuclear membranes
  • may contain chromosomes that stick together

29
Cancer cells grow in clumps called TUMOURS
30
  • Benign tumours
  • Enclosed in a capsule and dont invade
    surrounding tissue
  • Remain in one place
  • Resemble the tissue from which they arise

31
Malignant Cancer
Malignant tumour
Lymphatic vessel
Malignant cells
Blood vessel
32
  • Malignant tumours
  • Can grow into the surrounding tissue
  • Cells may break off from the main tumour and
    spread around the body.
  • Do not resemble cells around them.
  • Are arranged in a haphazard irregular fashion

33
The cells of a malignant tumour can be carried to
other parts of the body in the blood or lymphatic
systems THEREFORE The cancer can spread and
new tumours can grow in different parts of the
body
34
The importance of detecting cancer early
  • If a cancer is detected early the tumour will be
    smaller and will have caused less damage to the
    body.
  • It is also important to detect a malignant tumour
    before it spreads to other parts of the body.
  • Therefore early detection improves survival rates.

35
Screening programmes
  • These programmes aim to identify the cancer
    before it spreads too far.
  • These are available to detect breast, cervical,
    skin and testicular cancer.

36
Treating Cancer
  • Once cancer has been identified there are a
    number of treatment options
  • Surgery-cancer is removed from the body
  • Radiotherapy
  • Chemotherapy

37
Meiosis
  • Meiosis is another type of cell division
  • It occurs in the testes and ovaries to produce
    sperm and eggs(gametes).
  • The purpose of meiosis is to produce gametes with
    half the number of chromosomes of all the other
    cells in the body.
  • As meiosis halves the chromosome numbers in the
    daughter cells it is also known as reduction
    division.

38
  • Most human cells have 46 chromosomes arranged in
    23 pairs.
  • Sperm and eggs produced by meiosis have only 23
    chromosomes.
  • It is not just any 23 chromosomes from the 46 but
    one chromosome from each pair that passes to the
    sperm or egg.

39
What are the possible different chromosome
combinations?
40
  • It could be either chromosome of a particular
    pair that passes into the sperm or egg. So there
    are millions of potential chromosome combinations
    223 possibilities.
  • This random independent assortment of chromosomes
    in meiosis at gamete formation gives unique
    gametes helps produce variation in offspring.

42
Haploid and diploid
  • The chromosome number in the gametes is termed
    the haploid number (23 in humans).
  • The normal number in and organism is termed the
    diploid number (46 in humans).
  • Therefore fertilisation restores the diploid
    number in the offspring and combines the
    different arrangements of chromosomes produced
    during meiosis.
