Chromosomes & Cell Division Notes
About two trillion cells are produced by an adult human body every day!

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid): Stores info and tells the cells when to make proteins, and what kind to make.
GENE: unit of heredity, enough DNA to instruct for the construction of one protein.
Each DNA molecule is made up of thousands of genes.

Forms of DNA(1) Chromatin - genetic material in non-dividing cell’s
nucleus; DNA in thin, non-coiled strands. DNA is in this form 99% of the time because cells are
generally not dividing. DNA must be in this form in order to be copied
(replicated).
(2) Chromosomes - genetic material in dividing cell’s nucleus; DNA in coiled, rod-shaped form.
DNA must be in chromosome form in order for the cell to divide or reproduce.

Steps in Chromosome FormationChromatin DNA in thin, uncoiled strands.DNA replicates.DNA coils.Chromosomes DNA in 2 joined identical
chromatids.

ChromosomesChromatids - one of two duplicated, joined,
identical parts of a chromosome; found after DNA replication but before cell division.
Centromere – Point at which sister chromatids are attached

Chromosome NumberEvery species has a characteristic number of
chromosomes which is different from other species.
Example: nematode worm 2 pairsprotozoan 300
pairshuman 23 pairs
Chromosomes occur in pairs in sexually reproducing organisms. One of the pair comes from the MOM, the other comes from the DAD.
![Page 8: Chromosomes & Cell Division Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56815a5e550346895dc794bd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Chromosome NumberHOMOLOGOUS CHROMOSOMES: two
members of a pair of chromosomes that carry genes for the same traits, have the same size and shape. (ONE FROM MOM AND ONE FROM DAD)
![Page 9: Chromosomes & Cell Division Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56815a5e550346895dc794bd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Human Chromosomes - Karyotype
![Page 10: Chromosomes & Cell Division Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56815a5e550346895dc794bd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Diploid vs. HaploidDIPLOID (2N): total chromosome number in a body or
somatic cell, having both chromosomes of a homologous pair.
Diploid or 2N number in humans is 46 chromosomes or 23 homologous pairs.
HAPLOID (1N): chromosomes number in sex cell (egg or sperm), only one chromosome from each homologous pair.
Haploid or 1N number in human egg or sperm is 23, there are no homologous chromosomes.

MITOSIS
the key to growth
![Page 12: Chromosomes & Cell Division Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56815a5e550346895dc794bd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Mitosis - the division of the nucleus into two equal halves or sets of genetic informationBasically, simple cell division
![Page 13: Chromosomes & Cell Division Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56815a5e550346895dc794bd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Purpose: Each cell must have the complete “blueprint” of their DNA.
Every time the cell divides, it must pass on a copy of each chromosome.

Every cell in the body (except 1 kind that we will talk about later) has the same DNA. Each cell will just use their part of it. (Ex. Heart cells will use heart DNA). Therefore; all cells divide using mitosis.Cells divide as part of growth or reproduction
“Growth” includes:
*getting larger
*repair
*replacement (for normal “wear and tear”)
![Page 17: Chromosomes & Cell Division Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56815a5e550346895dc794bd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Mitosis is part of the Cell Cycle
The cell cycle is divided into 5 phases.1. Interphase
2. Prophase
3. Metaphase
4. Anaphase
5. Telophase
**This is a moving, continuous process. Stages are for study.

Interphase Period of growth and normal
cell activityEvents of Interphase:•The cell spends most of its life in interphase.•DNA is in chromatin form, spread throughout the nucleus.•DNA replicates, cell then contains two exact copies of each chromosome.•Centrioles found just outside the nuclear membrane of the cell.
Stages:• G1 (Gap 1) – normal cell activities•S (Synthesis) – DNA synthesis (replication)•G2 (Gap 2) – prepares for cell division
![Page 19: Chromosomes & Cell Division Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56815a5e550346895dc794bd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Look for a distinct nucleus
Interphase
![Page 20: Chromosomes & Cell Division Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56815a5e550346895dc794bd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Mitosis: ProphaseThe first stage of cell division
Three things happen:
Chromosomes coil and become visible
The nuclear membrane breaks down and disappears
The spindle forms
*Animal cells have centrioles
![Page 21: Chromosomes & Cell Division Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56815a5e550346895dc794bd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Mitosis: ProphaseLook for chromosomes in the center
![Page 22: Chromosomes & Cell Division Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56815a5e550346895dc794bd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Mitosis: Metaphase
Chromatids attach to the spindle fibers at the centromere
Chromosomes line up on the “equator” (in the middle of the cell)
![Page 23: Chromosomes & Cell Division Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56815a5e550346895dc794bd/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Mitosis: MetaphaseLook for chromosomes lined up on the “equator”
![Page 24: Chromosomes & Cell Division Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56815a5e550346895dc794bd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Mitosis: Anaphase•Centromeres split apart
•Chromatids move away from each other toward opposite poles
![Page 25: Chromosomes & Cell Division Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56815a5e550346895dc794bd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Mitosis: AnaphaseLook for chromosomes in two groups pulling apart
![Page 26: Chromosomes & Cell Division Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56815a5e550346895dc794bd/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Mitosis: TelophaseThe fourth and final phase of mitosis
The opposite of Prophase (the cell is ending its division and going back to normal)
Chromosomes unwind to form chromatin
Two new nuclei form with new membranes
The spindle disappears
![Page 27: Chromosomes & Cell Division Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56815a5e550346895dc794bd/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Mitosis: TelophaseLook for two groups of chromosomes with a cell plate or cleavage furrow
![Page 28: Chromosomes & Cell Division Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56815a5e550346895dc794bd/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

CytokinesisThe division of the cytoplasm
Animal cells pinch inward forming a cleavage furrow.
Plant cells divide from the inside towards the outside by forming a cell plate which becomes the cell wall.
