Part 1: Chromosomal Mutations Errors of Cell Division
Karyotypes • Photograph of chromosomes, arranged by homologous pairs • First 22 pairs (in humans) are “autosomes”. • Last pair are sex chromosomes • XX = female, XY = male
Aneuoploidy • Cells that have an abnormal number of chromosomes are aneuploid. Down Syndrome Female 47 XX +21 Normal Female 46 XX
Some Common Aneuoploidies X X X Turner’s Syndrome 45 X Triple X Syndrome 47 XXX
More Common Aneuoploidies X Y Y X X Y Klinefelter’s Syndrome 47 XXY XYY Syndrome 47 XYY
Anuoploidy Results from Nondisjunction of Sister Chromatids, During Mitosis or Meiosis
Errors Occur in Mitosis and Meiosis Errors of Mitosis Errors of Meiosis Errors of meiosis are passed to every cell of an offspring Called “germ line mutations” • Errors of mitosis are confined to daughter cells (not hereditary) • Called “somatic mutations”
Nondisjunction • Nondisjunction is the failure of chromosomes to separate during cell division, leading to asymetrical distribution between daughter cells.
Nondisjunction (continued) • Most chromosomal mutations of mitosis or meiosis are due to nondisjunction of sister chromatids, during anaphase (anaphase II in meiosis) • Additionally, in meiosis I, nondisjunction may occur between homologous chromosomes
Somatic Mutation • Somatic mutations occur in body (somatic) cells and affect only the daughter cells of the affected cell. • Moles and some cancers are the results of somatic mutations.
Nondisjunction can occur when spindle fibers from one centriole attach to both sister chromatids (mitosis & meiosis II) or both homologous chromosomes (meiosis I) Spindle fibers from one centriole attaching to both sister chromatids
Homologous chromosomes Sister chromatids Mitosis:Metaphase
Chromosomes align across the “equator” of the cell, one sister chromatid on each side.
Mitosis:Anaphase Nondisjunction of sister chromatids
Mitosis:Telophase & Cytokinesis Nuclei form
Interphase Daughter cells are aneuoploid Karyotype: 2n + 1 (trisomy) Karyotype: 2n – 1 (monosomy)
Germ Line Mutation • Errors that occur in gamete production affect offspring.
Homologous chromosomes line up across the middle Sister chromatids Meiosis I:Metaphase
Meiosis I:Anaphase Nondisjunction causes both homo chromo’s to be in one cell
End of Meiosis I • 2 aneuoploid daughter cells formed
Meiosis II: Metaphase Chromosomes line up at “equator” of cell.
Meiosis II: Anaphase Sister chromatids separate to opposite sides of cell.
Meiosis II: Telophase 4 aneuoploid haploid cells form (sperm or eggs)
Meiosis II: Telophase Karyotype N + 1 Karyotype N - 1
