  1. Chromosomes and Cell Division http://www.alumni.ca/~laued3e/chromosome.jpg New Cells Are Formed by Cell Division

  2. About 2 trillion cells are produced by an adult human body every day. • This is about 25 million new cells per second. • Why would cells divide or reproduce?

  3. Different Types of Cell Division • 1. Bacteria reproduce by binary fission. • Binary Fission= a form of asexual reproduction that produces identical offspring • If the offspring are identical, what is true about the DNA? • 2. Eukaryotic organisms undergoing growth, development, repair or asexual reproduction • 3. The formation of gametes or sex cells

  4. Rod-shaped Bacteria Dividing by Binary Fission http://www.emc.maricopa.edu/faculty/farabee/BIOBK/BioBookmito.html

  6. Eukaryotic cells form chromosomes before cell division • gene = a segment of DNA that codes for a protein or RNA molecule • As a eukaryotic cell prepares to divide the DNA and proteins associated with the DNA coil into a structure called a chromosome. • Before DNA coils, the DNA is copied. • The two exact copies of DNA that make up the chromosome are called chromatids.

  7. Genes are found on chromosomes • They are sections of DNA • Here is the gene for Parkinson’s Disease.

  8. The chromatids attach at a point called the centromere.

  10. Homologous Chromosomes = chromosomes that are similar in size, shape, and genetic content • Each homologue in a pair of homologous chromosomes comes from one of the two parents. • There are 46 chromosomes in human somatic or body cells or 2 sets of 23 chromosomes.

  11. Diploid= two sets of chromosomes • Haploid= one set of chromosomes • Zygote= a fertilized egg cell, the fusion of two haploid gametes • autosomes= chromosomes that are not directly involved in determining sex • 22 pairs • Sex chromosomes= determine sex • XX=female XY=male

  13. Karyotype = a photo of the chromosomes in a dividing cell that shows the chromosomes arranged by size.

  14. Is this a karyotype of a male or female?

  15. Do you notice anything about this karyotype? • Down’s syndrome http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucbhjow/bmsi/lec7_images/47_xx_21.gif

  16. What do you notice about this karyotype? • Turner Syndrome http://www.antenataltesting.info/images/karyotypeTurners.jpg

  17. 1. Why is cell division important? • 2. What are chromosomes made up of? • 3. Where are genes found?
