Slide 2

Why is it important for organisms to reproduce?(30s) so they can pass on hereditary material so they can continue the species

Slide 3

Is a chemical Made of 2 long strands Each strand has a sugar, a phosphate and a nitrogen base (adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine Is found in cells In chromosomes Controls the production of proteins

Slide 4

Is like a blueprint of a house stores and uses information to direct the activities of the cell & to make exact copies of itself Shaped like a twisted ladder

Slide 5

Mitosis is when the nucleus divides 2 new nuclei are made

Slide 6

What causes a cell to divide? Some cell biologists have observed that size is a trigger As a cell grows, its surface area grows slower than its volume. The Cell Cycle Sequence of events that occur in a cell from mitosis to mitosis Although there are names for these steps, it is a continuous process

Slide 7

Interphase The largest part of the cell cycle This time variesex. Yeast cell could be 2hrs, an amoeba a few days, animal in early embryo stage could be every 15-20 min. When the cell is growing in volume Duplicates DNA Mitosis Prophase Nuclear membrane disappears Chromosomes become visible

Slide 8

Metaphase Chromosomes line up in the center Anaphase Chromatids of each chromosome separate Telophase New nuclear membrane forms Cell starts to pinch Cytokinesis Cytoplasm of the original cell splits

Slide 9

How does one organism reproduce? Its called A- sexual

Slide 10

Binary Fission When the parent organism splits to form 2 new organisms Budding Happens in both unicellular and multicellular organisms Organism develops buds on its body and when that bud reaches a certain size it separates Regeneration Regrowth of a missing or damaged body part

Slide 11

Cloning organism has same DNA as parent

Slide 12

How come you wake up in the morning feeling fine and feel awful by the end of the day? Bacteria reproduce through binary fission and can reproduce in as quickly as 30 minutes

Slide 13

Sexual Reproduction New organism comes from DNA of 2 cells Spermegg new organism

Slide 14

A body cell has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs) A sex cell has only 23 chromosomes

Slide 15

Meiosis special kind of cell division Two nuclear division Produces haploid cells Takes place only in reproductive tissues

Slide 16

Meiosis has phases just like Mitosis Meiosis I Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I & Cytokinesis Meiosis II occurs in each of the cells produced by Meosis I, is not preceded by DNA replication Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II, & Cytokinesis

Slide 17

Fertilization The fusion of gametes (haploid cells) to form a diploid cell This recombination allows for variation 23 46

Slide 18

When an individual is missing either a chromosome from a pair (monosomy) or has more than two chromosomes of a pair (trisomy). An example of a condition caused by numerical abnormalities is Down Syndrome, also known as Trisomy 21 (an individual with Down Syndrome has three copies of chromosome 21, rather than two). Turner Syndrome is an example of monosomy, where the individual - in this case a female - is born with only one sex chromosome, an X.

Slide 19

Plants can reproduce sexually! Female reproductive organ produces eggs (ovary ), and male produces sperm (pollen) Some plants are either male or female Plants rely on birds, bees, wind and water to move their egg and sperm to other plants

Slide 20

How many chromosomes does a body cell have? How many chromosomes does a sex cell have? What is it called when sex cells are formed?
