REPRODUCTION
Two Types of Cells Composing
the Body
• Somatic cells - pertains to the cell
composing the bulk of the body such as
the nerve cell, muscle cells, kidney cell,
etc.
• Germ cells – pertains to the
reproductive cells such as the ova of
female and the spermatocytes of male.
What is cell division?
• formation of 2 daughter cells from a
single parent cell
• uses mitosis and meiosis
• each cell (except sperm and egg)
contains 46 chromosomes (diploid)
• sperm and egg contain 23
chromosomes
The Cell Cycle
• The cycle of growth
and asexual
reproduction of a
cell.
• It includes two
phases:
A. Interphase
B. Mitosis (M phase)
Interphase
• the nucleus is not
• Divided into:
undergoing
division
• occurs between 1. G1 stage
mitotic or meiotic 2. S phase
divisions also 3. G2 stage
called
interkinesis.
G1 phase
• active protein synthesis and imbibitions
of materials resulting in cell growth
• duplicates organelles
• centriole replication
S-phase (Synthesis phase)
• Chromosome duplication results from
replication of DNA
G2 Stage
• protein synthesis for
formation of spindle
fibers, asters, and
other materials
needed for cell
division.
• centriole replication
completed
M phase or Mitosis
Divided into: Four Stages:
Karyokinesis 1. Prophase
which involves
2. Metaphase
the division of
the nucleus 3. Anaphase
Cytokinesis 4. Telophase
which involves
the division of
the cytoplasm
Cytokinesis
• Cleavage furrow
forms in anaphase
or telophase &
constricts original
cell into two
smaller animal
cells
Control of Mitosis
Cyclins Cancer
are group of closely Is the result of
related proteins that uncontrolled cell
controls the timing division
of the cell cycle in It can easily and freely
eukaryotic cells spread because of the
they act as external absence of proteins on
regulators which the their surface that
direct cells to speed bind normal cells
up or slow down together.
Meiosis
• Type of cell reproduction which
produce gametes or sex cells.
• Gametogenesis the process of
production of gametes or sex cells.
• Spermatogenesis
• Oogenesis
Meiosis is also known as reduction
division.
• Diploid cells become
haploid cells
• Diploid (2n)- cell that
contains both sets of
homologous
chromosomes.
• Haploid (n)- cell that
contains only a single
set of chromosomes
Chromosome Number
• 46 Chromosomes (23 pairs)
1. Autosome (22 pairs)
2. Sex Chromosomes (1 pair)
• X chromosomes – female
• XY chromosomes - male
Homologous chromosomes
• matching pairs of
chromosomes in a
diploid cell
• Both chromosomes
contain
information that
code for the same
traits.
PHASES OF MEIOSIS
1. MEIOSIS I
2. MEIOSIS II
Meiosis I
Meiosis I
Prophase I
• Chromosomes are
thick and visible.
• Homologous pair
are tangled together
• Each pair consist of
a total of four
chromatids
(tetrads).
Metaphase I
• The homologous
chromosomes
are arranged in
the middle of
the cell.
Anaphase I
• Homologous pair of
chromosomes
separate from each
other
• Spindle fibers pull
one member of each
pair of chromosomes
to opposite ends of
the cell.
Telophase I
• Each individual
chromosome still
consist of two sister
chromatids.
• new nuclear
envelop may or may
not form
• Cytokinesis takes
place.
Prophase II
• Two pairs of
centrioles move to
opposite poles
• Nuclear envelop
disappears
• Spindle fibers
appear
Metaphase II
• Chromosomes are arranged along the
equatorial plane of the spindle
Anaphase II
• Centromeres divide
• Sister chromatids separate to become
daughter chromosomes
• Daughter chromosomes are pulled to
opposite poles of the cell
Telophase II
• Spindle fibers
disappear
• Nuclear envelop
forms around the
two daughter
chromosomes
• A nucleolus reforms
