What Cellular Structure Holds the Genetic Information?
• Chromosomes– Contain the genetic
material: DNA, RNA
• Chromatin– Is the chromosomal
material in its decondensed, threadlike state.
![Page 3: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Mitosis
• Form of asexual reproduction.
• Occurs when organism grows or replaces damaged cells.
• Prior to mitosis, cell undergoes replication.– Process in which chromatin
is copied.
• Produces diploid cells.
![Page 4: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Prophase
• Start of mitosis• Chromatin condenses
into rod-like chromosomes– Each chromosome
consists of sister chromatids, connected at the centromere
• Nuclear membrane disappears
![Page 5: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Metaphase
• Chromosomes align themselves in flat plane at cell equator.
![Page 6: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Anaphase
• Centromeres split.• Sister chromatids-
now chromosomes- are pulled to opposite poles of the cell.
![Page 7: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Telophase
• Chromosomes unravel, returning the chromatin to its non-dividing threadlike state.
• Nuclear membrane assembles.
![Page 8: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Cytokinesis
• Division of the cytoplasm.
• Begins during anaphase and telophase.
![Page 9: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
![Page 10: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Cytokinesis
• Differs in animals and plant cells.
• Plant cells form a cell plate.– membranous vesicles
congregate at center of cell.
– Vesicles contain cell wall material.
![Page 11: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Cytokinesis
• Animal cells form a cleavage furrow.– Forms around the
periphery of the dividing cell.
– Furrow becomes deeper and deeper until membrane pinches off forming two cells.
![Page 12: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Chromosomes Come in Matched Pairs
• Homologous pairs: chromosomes that are closely matched in size and shape– Determine the same
traits
• Sex chromosomes: Those that determine the gender of the organism.
![Page 13: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance
• The two members of each pair of a homologous pair of chromosomes carry alleles for the same genes and, therefore, affect the same traits.
• Proposed in 1903.
![Page 14: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Mapping genes
• Locus: location of a gene on a chromosome.
• Currently trying to map all human genes to the appropriate chromosome.
• Example: gene responsible for sickle cell anemia is located on chromosome 11.
![Page 15: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Sexual reproduction
• Type of reproduction in which genetic information from female combines with male.
• Requires fertilization– Fusion of gametes
(egg and sperm)– These cells need to
have half the amount of genetic information.
![Page 16: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Meiosis
• Produces haploid cells (gametes-eggs and sperm)– Posses only one member
of each pair of homologous chromosomes
• Chromosomes replicate before meiosis.
• Requires two rounds of division.
![Page 17: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Prophase I
• Chromatin condenses into compact chromosomes.
• Nuclear envelope disappears.
• Synapsis occurs.– Homologous pairs of
chromosomes closely align allowing exchange of chromosome segments
![Page 18: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Metaphase I
• Aligned pairs of replicated chromosomes move to the equator of the dividing cell.
![Page 19: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Anaphase I
• Members of homologous pairs of chromosomes separate from each other
• They move to opposite poles of the cell.– Chromosomes
experience independent assortment.
![Page 20: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Telophase I
• Chromosomes cluster at opposite poles of cell and begin to decondense
• Nuclear envelope may reform.
• Cytokinesis occurs• Interkinesis: phase
between meiosis I and and II.
• Daughter cells now haploid.
![Page 21: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Prophase II
• Partially unraveled chromosomes condense again.
![Page 22: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Metaphase II
• Chromosomes move to cell equator.
• No longer homologous pairs, so chromosomes line up singly in middle of cell.
![Page 23: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Anaphase II
• Centromeres divide and chromosomes separate.
• Move to opposite poles of the cell.
![Page 24: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Telophase II
• Clustered chromosomes at cell pole begin to decondense.
• Nuclear membrane develops.
• Cytokinesis occurs.• Produces four non-
identical haploid cells.
![Page 25: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
![Page 26: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Mitosis vs. Meiosis
![Page 27: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Cell Cycle
• Repetitive sequence of events that characterizes life of cell.
• Consists of two main phases:– Interphase
• Period that cells are in when not dividing.• 90% of cell cycle
– M phase• Includes mitosis and cytokinesis
![Page 28: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Cell Cycle
![Page 29: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Cell Cycle
• Interphase has three subphases– G1 (first gap)
• Cell makes copies of organelles and grows larger
– S (synthesis)• Genetic material is copied• End of this phase, cells chromosomes are doubled
– Copies are attached; thus total number of chromosomes remains the same
– G2 (second gap)• Cell prepares upcoming M phase
![Page 30: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Regulation of Cell Cycle
• Cell cycle must be regulated or can result in cancer– Uncontrolled cell growth
• Metastasize: cell breaks free from original cancerous mass and resides in new area in the body
![Page 31: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Regulation of Cell Cycle
• Two checkpoints– First between G1 and S
– Second between G2 and M
• To pass checkpoints, cell must possess appropriate amount of protein in cytoplasm.– These proteins activate
other proteins necessary for production of genetic material and mitosis
![Page 32: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Regulation of Cell Cycle
• To pass checkpoints, cell must possess appropriate amount of regulating protein in cytoplasm.– When regulator concentration is high, cell
cycle progresses.– When low, cell cycle is suspended at that
stage.
• External and internal regulatory agents also influence passage through checkpoints.
![Page 33: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Why So Some Genetic Traits Tend to Travel Together?
• Chromosomes contain genes– Chromosomes follow law of independent
assortment, not genes
• If two genes are on the same chromosome, – the two genes are inherited together or are
said to be linked or in linkage groups
![Page 34: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Why So Some Genetic Traits Tend to Travel Together?
• Example: sex linkage• Sex chromosomes
– Contain other genes aside from those to determine gender.
• Example: eye color and gender in fruit flies
![Page 35: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Chromosomes Can Exchange Segments During Meiosis
• Crossing over– Exchange of genetic
material between chromatids of homologous chromosomes.
– Occurs at the chiasmata.
![Page 36: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Chromosomes Can Exchange Segments During Meiosis
• Crossing over– Important mechanism
for creating new combinations of genes.
– Disrupts linkage groups.
![Page 37: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
What Is the Chemical Nature of the Gene?
• 1860s– Frederich Meisner studied fundamental
constituents of life• Discovered unknown substance contains carbon,
nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphorus.• Found it came from nucleus of cell.• Named it nucelin
– His students renamed substance nucleic acid after finding it was acidic.
![Page 38: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
What Is the Chemical Nature of the Gene?
• 1881– Discovered nucleic acids were contained in
chromatin.
• Question: Was the genetic material made of proteins or nucleic acids?
![Page 39: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
DNA is the Genetic Material
• 1928– Fred Griffiths, medical officer for British
Ministry of Health• Studied the bacteria pneumoncoccus
– Two kinds» Smooth: Virulent form that appears smooth and
shiny when grown on agar plate» Rough: harmless form that appears rough when
grown on agar plate.
• Experimented by injecting the two types in mice.
![Page 40: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
DNA is the Genetic Material
![Page 41: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
DNA is the Genetic Material
• Griffiths identified the material as the transforming principle
• Avery, MacLeod and McCartney– Study transforming principle for 20 years.– They determined that the transforming agent
was DNA.
![Page 42: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
DNA is the Genetic Material
• Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase– Studied viruses that infect bacteria
• Viruses are called bacteriophages
![Page 43: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
DNA is the Genetic Material
• Viruses are made of • Protein coat and nucleic acid
• Viruses mix their genes with host genes– hijack cell machinery and use it to produces
new viruses– Usually kills host cell
![Page 44: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
DNA is the Genetic Material
• Hershey and Chase labeled protein and DNA differently with isotopes– Variants of elements that share same chemical
properties but differ in number of neutrons
• Label DNA with 32P and protein with 35S
![Page 45: Chapter 5](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555d12afd8b42ab2228b49e5/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
