1
Mitosis, Meiosis, DNA, Cell cycle
2
Replication Proceeds from 5’ to 3’ Occurs in the nucleus
Occurs during interphase Is semiconservative Requires enzymes
3
Enzymes DNA polymerase: attaches new nucleotides
DNA Iigase: joins 3’ end of one Okazaki fragment to the 5’ end of another Okazaki fragment. Helicase: Breaks hydrogen bonds, opens the zipper Topoisomerase: facilitates unwinding and unzipping of DNA
4
Haploid and diploid Haploid (n): after meiosis
1 chromosome from each pair Diploid (2n): somatic cell, zygote 2 chromosomes from each pair Beginning of meiosis 4 chromosomes from each pair 2 x diploid number
5
Cell cycle Interphase: most time Prophase: chromosomes condense
Metaphase: replicated chromosomes line up on the equatorial plate Anaphase: pairs separate to opposite poles Telophase: New nuclei form Cytokinesis: cell divides
6
Cancer Tumor, Benign, Malignant, Metastatic High rate of mitosis
Shorter cell cycle Poor or “broken” cell regulation
7
Enzymes
8
DNA
9
Electrophoresis Electric current pulls DNA toward the positive lead. What about DNA causes it to move to the positive end?
10
Avery, MacCleod, and McCarty
11
Avery, MacCleod, and McCarty
Heat treating and protein degrading enzyme break down protein DNAase breaks down DNA
12
Crossing over Produces recombinations % recombination = map distance
Increases genetic variability in gametes
13
Nondisjunction Tetrads fail to separate during anaphase II
Can produce trisomy or monosomy
14
DNA Chargaff Watson Crick Adenine = Thymine Cytosine = Guanine
Adenine is complimentary to Thymine Cytosine is complimentary to Guanine
15
Possibilities Number of gamete possibilities = 2n, where n = number of homologous chromosome pairs For humans 8,388,608 possible combinations
16
Mitosis and meiosis Mitosis produces copy (2n)
Growth and repair Meiosis produces half a copy (n) Gametes Sperm Egg and polar bodies
