  Explain the 4 changes in chromosome structure.

Eukaryote chromosomes are composed or "packaged" by strands of negatively-charged DNA wrapping themselves around positively-charged globular proteins called histones.  The histones form clusters called nucleosomes that clump together to form chromatin fibers in the nucleoplasm or cytoplasm inside the nuclear membrane.  When the DNA in a chromatin strand is being used during early protein synthesis, it is loosely packed and called euchromatin.  When it is not being used, it is coiled into a tight package called heterochromatin.
18.1 Chromosomes
Chromosomes: A review
  Humans have 46 chromosomes that are in 23 pairs within a cell’s nucleus.
       Pairs of chromosomes are called Homologous chromosomes.
       Autosomes are the 22 pairs of chromosomes that control traits unrelated to gender.
       Sex chromosomes are the 1 pair that contains the genes that do control gender (male sex chromosomes are XY and those of the female are XX.
-       Cells (somatic or body) that have 46 (2n) paired chromosomes are called diploid.
-       Cells (sex cells or gametes) that have only 23 (n) unpaired chromosomes are called haploid cells.
What is a karyotype?
• A karyotype (Greek karyon = kernel, seed or nucleus) is the number and appearance of chromosomes in the nucleus of a eukaryotic (true or nucleated) cell; the term is also used to denote
the complete set of chromosomes (46 in humans).

The cell cycle

               2 parts
                     1.    Interphase
               G1 stage – cell doubles its organelles; cell grows in size
               S stage DNA synthesis (replication) occurs
               G2 stage – proteins needed for division are synthesized
                     2.    Cell division (mitosis and cytokinesis)
                Mitosis – nuclear division
                Cytokinesis – cytoplasmic division

The cell cycle

Control of the cell cycle

                  Checkpoints can delay the cell cycle until certain conditions are met.
                  There are 3 major checkpoints.
                   G1, if passed, the cell is committed to divide.
                   G2 cycle pauses to verify DNA replication.
                   M cycle pauses to verify spindle assembly and chromosome attachment.
Control of the cell cycle
Figure 18.3  Control of the cell cycle.


External control of the cell cycle
                  External signals like hormones and growth factors (signaling molecules) can alter the rhythm of the cell cycle
                  signaling molecules bind specific receptors on target cells causing a molecular signal to be generated inside the cell
(signal transduction)
                  Net result is the turning off/on certain genes involved in cell cycling

Chromosome structure in mitosis

•Chromosomes contain both DNA and proteins (collectively called chromatin).
•Chromosomes that are dividing are made up of 2 identical parts called sister chromatids.
•The sister chromatids are held together at a region called the centromere.

Chromosome structure in mitosis

The spindle in mitosis

               centrosome – the microtubule organizing center of the cell
              

aster – a radial array of microtubules extends from each centrosome at one of the poles
(ends of the cell)
               Kinetochores – short cylinders of microtubules that assist in the formation of spindle fibers

Overview of mitosis

               A diploid cell makes and divides an exact copy of its nucleus.
               It is used in cell growth and cell repair.
               Mitosis occurs in body cells.
               There are 4 phases.
1.           Prophase
2.           Metaphase
3.           Anaphase
4.           Telophase


Overview of mitosis



1. Mitosis: Prophase

                Chromosomes condense and become visible.
                The nuclear envelop fragments.
                The nucleolus disappears.
                Centrosomes move to opposite poles.
                Spindle fibers appear and attach to the centromeres.

Overview of meiosis
    Two nuclear divisions occur to make 4 daughter cells.
    It is used to make gametes (egg and sperm).
    Meiosis occurs in sex cells
    Has 8 phases (4 in each meiosis, I & II)

    Prophase I
    Homologous chromosomes pair (synapsis); crossing-over occurs, in which there is exchange of genetic information.
    Metaphase I
    Homologous pairs line up at the equator.
    Anaphase I
    Homologous chromosomes separate and move toward opposite poles.

18.4 Meiosis
What is crossing-over?
               Crossing-over is the exchange of genetic information between homologous sister chromatids during synapsis (In synapsis, homologous chromosomes loosely pair up, aligned gene by gene).
               This occurs during metaphase1 of meiosis I and increases genetic variation.
18.4 Meiosis What is crossing-over?
Figure 18.11  Synapsis and crossing-over increase variability.
18.4 Meiosis
What is independent alignment?
               In metaphase I, homologous pairs align independently at the equator.
               Maternal or paternal member may be oriented toward either pole.
               It gives rise to various possible combinations of maternal and paternal chromosomes in gametes descended from this cell.
