Reproduction Flashcards
G1
cell increases its organelles
S
DNA replication
G2
Cell increases its organelles
M
cell divides into two
Meiosis I
Two pairs of sister chromatids form tetrads during prophase 1
Crossing over leads to genetic recombination
Homologous chromosomes separate during metaphase !
Meiosis II
Essentially identical to mitosis, but no replication
Occurs in spermatogenesis and oogenesis
Four Stages of Early Development
Cleavage: mitotic divisions
Implantation: embryo implants during blastula stage
Gastrulation: ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm form
Neurulation: germ layers develop a nervous system
Ectoderm
nervous system, epidermis, lens of eye, inner ear
Endoderm
lining of digestive tract, lungs, liver, pancreas
Mesoderm
muscle, skeleton, circulatory system, gonads, kidney
Diploid vs Haploid
Diploid: 2n (46)
Haploid: n (23)
Phases of Mitosis
prophase
metaphase
anaphase
telophase + cytokinesis
Mitosis: Prophase
condensation of genetic material, centrioles move to poles and form spindle fibres, nuclear membrane dissolves
Mitosis: Metaphase
kinetichore fibres work with spindle fibres to align chromosomes at the metapheseal plate
Mitosis: Anaphase
centromeres split and sister chromatids are pulled to opposite sides by shortening kinetochore fibres
Mitosis: Telophase and Cytokinesis
spindle apparatus dissapears, nuclear membranes form, and nucleoli reappear, chromosomes uncoil
separation of cytoplasm and organelles
Mitosis: Cell Cycle Checkpoints and Associated Proteins
G1/S: p53 (DNA check)
G2/M: p53 (size and # of organelles check)
Sperm is Produced in:
The seminiferous Tubules
Sertoli Cells
Nourish Sperm
Pathway of Sperm
SEVE(N) UP Seminiferous tubules Epididymis Vas Deferens Ejaculatory Duct Urethra Penis
spermatogonia
Male diploid stem cells
Primary Spermocytes
after multiplication of genetic material, diploid
Secondary Spermocytes
After first meiotic division, haploid
Spermatids
after meiosis 2, haploid
