Chromosomes

2

Prokaryotic Chromosome

The DNA of prokaryotes (bacteria) is one, circular chromosome attached to the inside of the cell membrane

3

Eukaryotic ChromosomesAll eukaryotic cells store

genetic information in chromosomes

Most eukaryotes have between 10 and 50 chromosomes in their body cells

Human body cells have 46 chromosomes or 23 identical pairs

4

Eukaryotic ChromosomesEach chromosome is composed

of a single, tightly coiled DNA molecule

Chromosomes can’t be seen when cells aren’t dividing and are called chromatin

5

Chromosomes in Dividing Cells

Duplicated chromosomes are called chromatids & are held together by the centromere

Called Sister Chromatids

6

KaryotypeA picture of the

chromosomes from a human cell arranged in pairs by size

First 22 pairs are called autosomes

Last pair are the sex chromosomes

XX female or XY male

7

Boy or Girl?

Y - Chromosome

X - Chromosome

The Y Chromosome Decides

Cell Reproduction

9

Types of Cell ReproductionAsexual reproduction involves

a single cell dividing to make 2 new, identical daughter cellsMitosis & binary fission are

examples of asexual reproductionSexual reproduction involves

two cells (egg & sperm) joining to make a new cell (zygote) that is NOT identical to the original cellsMeiosis is an example

10

MeiosisFormation of

Gametes (Eggs & Sperm)

11

Facts About Meiosis

Preceded by interphase which includes chromosome replication

Two meiotic divisions --- Meiosis I and Meiosis II

Original cell is diploid (2n)Four daughter cells produced

that are monoploid or haploid (1n)

12

Facts About MeiosisDaughter cells contain half the

number of chromosomes as the original cell

Produces gametes (eggs & sperm)

Occurs in the testes in males (Spermatogenesis)

Occurs in the ovaries in females (Oogenesis)

13

Start with 46 double stranded chromosomes (2n)

After 1 division - 23 double stranded chromosomes

After 2nd division - 23 single stranded chromosomes (n)

  Occurs in our germ cells that produce gametes

More Meiosis Facts

14

Why Do we Need Meiosis?

It is the fundamental basis of sexual reproduction

Two haploid (1n) gametes are brought together through fertilization to form a diploid (2n) zygote

15

Fertilization – “Putting it all together”

1n =3

2n = 6

16

Replication of Chromosomes

Replication is the process of duplicating a chromosome

Occurs prior to division

Replicated copies are called sister chromatids

Held together at centromere

Occurs in Interphas

e

17

A Replicated Chromosome

Homologs (same genes, different alleles)

SisterChromatids(same genes,same alleles)

Gene X

Homologs separate in meiosis I and therefore different alleles separate.

18

Meiosis Forms Haploid Gametes

Meiosis must reduce the chromosome number by half

Fertilization then restores the 2n number

from mom from dad child

meiosis reducesgenetic content

toomuch!

The right number!

22

Tetrads Form in Prophase I

Homologous chromosomes

(each with sister chromatids)  

Join to form a TETRAD

Called Synapsis

23

Crossing-OverHomologous

chromosomes in a tetrad cross over each other

Pieces of chromosomes or genes are exchanged

Produces Genetic recombination in the offspring

24

Homologous Chromosomes During

Crossing-Over

25

Metaphase I

Homologous pairs of

chromosomes align along the equator of the

cell

26

Anaphase I

Homologs separate and move to opposite poles.

Sister chromatids remain attached at their centromeres.

27

Telophase I

Nuclear envelopes reassemble.

Spindle disappears.

Cytokinesis divides cell into two.

28

Meiosis II

Only one homolog of each chromosome is present in the cell.

Meiosis II produces gametes with one copy of each chromosome and thus one copy of each gene.

Sister chromatids carry identical genetic information.

Results of MeiosisGametes (egg & sperm) form

Four haploid cells with one copy of each chromosome

One allele of each gene

Different combinations of alleles for different genes along the chromosome

Gametogenesis

Oogenesis or

Spermatogenesis

39

SpermatogenesisOccurs in the

testesTwo divisions

produce 4 spermatids

Spermatids mature into sperm

Men produce about 250,000,000 sperm per day

40

Spermatogenesis in the Testes

Spermatid

41

Spermatogenesis

42

OogenesisOccurs in the ovariesTwo divisions produce 3 polar

bodies that die and 1 eggPolar bodies die because of

unequal division of cytoplasmImmature egg called oocyteStarting at puberty, one oocyte

matures into an ovum (egg) every 28 days
