Chapter 6 Chromosomes and Cell Reproduction
Why It’s Important Cells must copy their chromosomes and divide properly in order to make new cells that function ________________ properly 4-day old mouse cells
2
Chapter 6 Section 1 Chromosomes Objectives Identify four examples of cell division in eukaryotes and one example in prokaryotes. Differentiate between a gene, a DNA molecule, a chromosome, and a chromatid. Differentiate between homologous chromosomes, autosomes, and sex chromosomes. Compare haploid and diploid cells. Predict how changes in chromosome number or structure can affect development.

14
identical copied chromatid centromere
Chromosomes have two ________________ sides because they contain DNA that has already been ____________ Each side is called a sister _____________ and they are attached at a point called a _________________ identical copied chromatid centromere

17
Asexual Reproduction – Eukaryotic cells
exact Eukaryotic cells will make _________ copies of themselves during asexual reproduction for four different types of cell division One type is simply for ___________________ Eukaryotes may also make new cells for _________________, ________________, or _____________________ reproduction repair growth development
18
somatic skin muscle nerve copies age
Asexual reproduction only occurs in body cells which are also called ___________________ cells Examples of somatic cells are _______________, _____________, and ________________ cells You want these new cells to do the same job as their parent cell, so it is good that they make exact __________of each other Overtime…the ends of your DNA strands start to deteriorate so your cells ______ and change slightly even though they are “copies” somatic skin muscle nerve copies age
19
46 diploid 2n sets mother father
All of your somatic cells contain ____ chromosomes, which means they are _________ cells A diploid cell is mathematically written as ______, which means they have two _______ of chromosomes… you inherit one set from your _____________ and ____________ diploid 2n sets mother father
20
Sexual Reproduction – Eukaryotic Cells
______ pair of your chromosomes are called your _______ chromosomes, because they are involved with determining your ____________ Your other 22 pairs of chromosomes are called ________________ sex gender autosomes
21
X Your two sex chromosomes are referred to as _____ and _____ You inherit one from each parent ______ = male ______ = female Females can donate only X’s while males can donate an X or a Y… Do males or females determine the sex of an offspring? Y XY XX males
22
sex two gametes egg sperm haploid n one
Your _________ cells reproduce sexually because ______ cells are needed to make another cell Your sex cells, also called _________________, consist of ________ or _________ cells Gametes are _____________ cells, which are written mathematically as ______, meaning they have a _____________ set of chromosomes two gametes egg sperm haploid n one
23
23 unite fertilization zygote
If human somatic cells (2n) have 46 chromosomes…how many chromosomes do gametes (n) have? When two gametes _____________, they make a diploid body cell in the process of _______________ This fertilized cell is called a ____________ 23 unite fertilization zygote
