  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 twoidentical 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

  19. Interphase Plant cell Animal cell

  20. Prophase Plant cell Animal cell

  21. Metaphase Plant cell Animal cell

  22. Anaphase Plant cell Animal cell

  23. Telophase Plant cell Animal cell

  24. Cytoplasmic division cleavage furrow cell plate • Division of cytoplasm • Animal cells : by formation of cleavage furrow • Plant cells : by formation of cell plate

  33. Self Learning Exercise Click the button for a photomicrograph showing the cells of a plant at different stages of mitosis Q: What is the DNA content of cell 1 as compared with that of cell 3? A. DNA content of cell 1 and cell 3 are the same. B. DNA content of cell 1 is doubled that in cell 3. C. DNA content of cell 1 is only half of that in cell 3. D. DNA content of cell 1 is only quarter of that in cell 3.

  45. 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

  46. 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

  47. Prophase I • Chromosomes become visible • Nuclear membrane disappears

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

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