  1. Chromosomes

  2. Homework

  3. Cell Cycle Review • What are the three big parts of the cell cycle, in order? • What happens in each one?

  4. Interphase • Put this diagram in your notebooks (you don’t need the cell pictures or texts) Most of the cell’s life is spent in interphase. Interphase then has some sub-phases, like how “adulthood” is broken down into “young adult,” “mature adult,” “middle-age,” etc.

  5. Interphase G1 (Gap 1) - Cell growth

  6. Interphase G1 (Gap 1) - Cell growth S (Synthesis) - Copy DNA to prepare for later reproduction

  7. Interphase G1 (Gap 1) - Cell growth S (Synthesis) - Copy DNA to prepare for later reproduction G2 (Gap 2) - Lots of protein synthesis, and ensuring “good health”

  8. Interphase G1 (Gap 1) - Cell growth S (Synthesis) - Copy DNA to prepare for later reproduction G2 (Gap 2) - Lots of protein synthesis, and ensuring “good health” G0 (Gap zero) - Resting

  9. Interphase How is interphase analogous to a human life cycle?

  10. Cell Cycle • The cell reproduction that we are talking about at the moment is called: • Asexual reproduction. Just by looking at the term, what do you think it probably means?

  11. Cell Cycle • The cell reproduction that we are talking about at the moment is called: • Asexual reproduction: Reproduction that does not involve two cells fusing together. • Mitosis is asexual reproduction. Why?

  12. Cell Cycle • Asexual reproduction: Reproduction that does not involve fertilization (two cells combining their DNA). Produces offspring genetically identical to the parent. • Mitosis • Other examples include: • Binary fission • Budding • Fragmentation • Parthenogenesis • Spore formation

  13. Cell Cycle • Sexual reproduction: Reproduction in which two cells contribute their chromosomes to create a new cell with a unique genome. • Example: Fertilization of sperm and egg

  14. Chromosomes • Chromosome: A very long, supercoiled strand of DNA. • Different organisms have different numbers of chromosomes in every cell.

  15. Chromosomes • Gene = Region of a chromosome that codes for one protein.

  16. Chromosomes • Different chromosomes carry different genes. • For instance, in humans, everyone has a gene called INSR at the same place on chromosome #19. INSR is a gene that codes for a receptor protein that detects insulin.

  17. Chromosomes • Everyone has two chromosome #19s in each of your cells, so you have two INSR genes. • And two chromosome #1s, two #2s, etc. • Demo

  18. Chromosomes • Homologous chromosomes: Two versions of the same chromosome. They code for all the same proteins, but they may each make those proteins with slightly different sequences and shapes.

  19. Chromosomes • Because we have homolgous chromosomes, meaning two copies of every chromosome, our cells are called diploid. • Latin/Greek Word Roots: Di • Diploid: A cell with 2 copies of each chromosome.

  20. Chromosomes • Diploid: • Haploid: A cell with only 1 copy of each chromosome. • Sperm and eggs only.

  21. Chromosomes • So, a normal diploid human cell has 46 chromosomes: 23 kinds of chromosome, 2 versions of each. • After a human cell undergoes mitosis, how many chromosomes do you think each of the two offspring cells will have?

  22. Chromosomes • Each cell will have 46! They are identical copies of the parent cell, after all.

  23. Chromosomes • To get from one diploid cell with that many chromosomes to two offspring also with that many chromosomes, DNA replication will happen during interphase. • Find three people, and explain to them how DNA replication works.

  24. Chromosomes • DNA Replication • A strand of DNA “unwinds” and “unzips” • Extra DNA nucleotides are attached to their base pair partners • This creates two DNA molecules that are entirely identical to each other • Keep this in mind for the future.
