1. Sexual reproduction is characterized by processes that pass a unique combination of genetic material to offspring, resulting in increased genetic diversity
Asexual reproduction only one parent-reproduction without the fusion of gametes.

2. Prokaryotes Reproduce with Binary Fission
Doubling the genetic material
Division
Cell Elongation
Separation of cytoplasm

3. Eukaryotic Reproduction
More complicated
Must organize more genetic material

4. Clickers:
What process must occur prior to chromosome duplication?
Cell reproduction
Mitosis
DNA replication
Nuclear division

5. Eukaryotic Genome Organization
Normal cells are diploid resulting from combination of two haploid cells (gametes)
What is the sex of this person?
DIPLOID Cells, 2n
22 Autosomes -1 member of the pair from each parent
1 sex chromosome pair- 1 member of the pair from each parent
2n= 46 in humans, 1n=23

7. BEFORE we go further….
Homologous Pair corresponding genes, non identical
Sister Chromatids one homologue doubled, identical
Tetrad- both members of the pair doubled
DIPLOID

9. Mitosis
Cell division that results in the EXACT duplication of parent cell into two daughter cells
Growth & Development
Zygote to 10 trillion cells!
Asexual Reproduction
Making more of yourself; unicellular
Think about organizing 6ft of DNA in tiny cell for every division!

16. Growth Factors

17. Cancer
Cells that have lost their control of the cell cycle and divide uncontrollably
Abnormal check points during cell cycle, no apoptosis
Loss of anchor dependency
Loss of cell density dependency

18. Cancer Karyotype
