Chapter 10: Sexual Reproduction and Genetics CHROMOSOMES AND CHROMOSOME NUMBER -Human body cells have 46 chromosomes -Each parent contributes 23 chromosomes -Homologous chromosomes- one of two paired chromosomes, one from each parent -Same length -Same centromere position -Carry genes that control the same inherited traits HAPLOID AND DIPLOID CELLS -An organism produces gametes to maintain the same number of chromosomes from generation to generation -Human gametes contain 23 chromosomes -A cell with n chromosomes is a haploid cell -A cell with 2n chromosomes is a diploid cell - MEIOSIS I -The sexual life cycle in animals ivolves meiosis -Meiosis produces gametes -When gametes combine in fertilization, the number of chromosomes is restored MEIOSIS

Chapter 9: Cellular Reproduction CELLULAR GROWTH -As the cell grows, its volume increases much more rapidly than the surface area. -The cell might have difficulty supplying nutrients and expelling enough waste products. TRANSPORT OF SUBSTANCES -Substances move by diffusion or by motor proteins. -Diffusion over large distances is slow and inefficient. -Small cells maintain more efficient transport systems. CELLULAR COMMUNICATIONS -The need for signling proteins to move throughout the cell also limits cell size. -Cell size affects the ability of the cell to communicate instructions for cellular functions. THE CELL CYCLE -Cell division prevents the cell from becoming too large -It also is the way the cell reproduces so that you grow and heal certain injuries

DNA, RNA, and Protein Synthesis DNA -The species-particular DNA sequences produce the species-particular proteins -Genes code for proteins -Genes are long strands of DNA of chromosomes WHAT IS DNA? -DNA is genetic code -Instructions for heredity -Components of genes -Director of protein synthesis -A type of nucleic acid -A type of organic compound -A polymer {a compound made of repeating subunits} DNA'S PROPER NAME IS -Deoxyribonucleic acid -Consists of a ribose sugar with a "missing oxygen" (thats the de-oxy part) -And it's found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cell STRUCTURE OF DNA -A nucleotide of DNA is the base unit -A nucleotide consists of a phosphate, a sugar, and a nitrogen base DNA IS A DOUBLE STRAND -The nitrogen bases have compliment partners

Chapter 7: Cellular Structure and Function THE CELL THEORY -All organisims are composed of one or more cells -The cell is the basic unit of structure and organization of organisms -All cells come from pre-existing cells PROKARYOTIC CELL -Simple structure -Contains a plasma membrane -Does not contain membrane bound organelles EUKARYOTIC CELL -Contains a plasma membranre -Contains membrane-bound organelles PLASMA MEMBRANE -Thin, flexible boundary between the cell and its enviornment -Allows nutrients into the cell -Allows waste to leave the cell SELECTIVE PERMEABILITY -The plasma membrane controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell -The plasma membrane is composed of the phospholipid bilayer FLUID MOSAIC MODEL

Gene Expression Chapter 11 ? Differentiation yields a variety of cell types, each expressing a different combination of genes ? Different types of cells make different proteins because different combinations of genes are active in each type Muscle cell Pancreas cells Blood cells Fiure 11.2 Differentiated cells may retain all of their genetic potential Most differentiated cells retain a complete set of genes Root of carrot plant Root cells cultured in nutrient medium Cell division in culture Plantlet Adult Plant Single cell Figure 11.3 DNA packing in eukaryotic chromosomes helps regulate gene expression ? A chromosome contains DNA wound around clusters of histone proteins ? This beaded fiber is further wound and folded

Cells, Membranes and Cellular Reproduction A Tour of the Cell ? Cell Structure & Function ? Chapter 4 ? Compared to the images generated by the Hubble telescope or the planetary probes like Voyager, telescope images are limited. ? Same with looking at cells under a light microscope, view is limited. ?Which of the following cell parts are visible under a light microscope? ? Cell membrane - yes. ? Large macromolecules - no. ? Microtubules - no. ? Mitochondria - maybe just barely. ? Many bacteria - yes ? The microscopic size of most cells ensures a sufficient surface area across which nutrients and wastes can move to service the cell volume ? A small cell has a greater ratio of surface area to volume than a large cell of the same shape 30 ?m 10 ?m
