Figure 12.3 Eukaryotic Chromosome

173 Words1 Page

Figure 12.3 Eukaryotic chromosomes shows chromosomes that are stained purple in order to make visible the chromosomes of an African blood lily. The thin red lines in the cytoplasm are the cytoskeleton in a cell that is getting ready to divide. Chromosomes carry the genetic information for each organism. The chromosomes go through changes when cells divide in order to ensure the genetic information is passed to every cell in an organism. The process of cell division takes has many phases, but the most important part of the cell division makes sure that the genetic information is copied and passed on within every cell. The chromosomes divide, and duplicate themselves during the process of cell division. In eukaryotic cells, the cells create

    three phases G1, where the cells grows up to double it’s original size, S phase, where the dan is replicated , and G2 ,where the cells finishes it growing and prepares to go into prophase. Prophase is where the cell’s nuclear membrane dissolves. Chromatin tightly coils and condenses into chromosomes. Spindle fiber begins to appear and then the cell goes on to metaphase. During metaphase, the cell’s spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes and the chromosome aline in the middle of the cell.

    G1 is the main development period of the cell cycle. In G1, the cell plans to experience cell division. The cell still plays out the majority of its typical capacities, however begins to get greater. The cell then starts to make a duplicate of the cell parts (organelles). It additionally starts to create RNA and orchestrate proteins to prepare to separate.

  • Why Do Cells Undergo Mitosis?

    556 Words  | 3 Pages

    Cells are the most basic, living structural and functional living units of the body. In order for growth and repair to happen the cells must go through cell division; this is called mitosis. Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells after going through four stages, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Before the somatic cells (body cells except reproductive) undergo mitosis, they must go through interphase in which they spend 78% of their time. This begins with the G1 phase where the cells make a variety of proteins that are necessary for DNA replication.

    Introduction: This lab report outlines an experiment on the observation of mitosis in the cells of garlic root tips. Mitosis simply put is the division of a nucleus producing two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Miotic cell division consists of five stages: Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase. The purpose of this experimet was to identify and observe cells within each stage of mitosis using garlic root tip cells.

    Cellular information passes from one generation to the next in the form of Dna through a process called meiosis. Cellular information is stored in Dna, which is wound tightly around proteins in a double helix to form chromatin strands, which in turn are wound tightly to form chromatids. A normal human has 92 chromatids. After dna replication occurs in the S phase of meiosis, these chromatids duplicate themselves to form sister chromatids that are held together by a centromere. This becomes a chromosome, which then travels through the process of meiosis.

    Eukaryotic cells divide and reproduce in two ways: mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is a process of nuclear division that chromosomes are separated into two identical sets of chromosomes. The purpose of mitosis is cell regeneration, growth, and asexual reproduction. Meiosis, on the other hand, is a special type of cell division which reduces the chromosome number by half. To achieve halving the genome, DNA replication is followed by two consecutive rounds of nuclear division during meiosis.

Prokaryotic have smaller number of 70S types Ribosomes present which lie free in cytoplasm or are engaged in protein synthesis and Eukaryotic has the greater number with 80S types of Ribosomes. Ribosomes are made in the thickest part of the nucleus, the nucleolus, and then need to be transported around the cell in order to make proteins. Also suspended in the eukaryotic cytoplasm are the mitochondrion and also, unique to plant cells, the

In the average human eye there are around six to seven million cone cells in total. The cone cell is made up of two parts, the outer segment and the inner segment. The outer segment holds the membranous discs which pigment the colour which is perceived by the cone cells. The membranous discs also contain transmembrane proteins which help transmit signals through the membranous discs.
