Heredity: Inheritance and Variation

: DIPLOID (46)
CYTOLOGY: CELL BIOLOGY
GENETICS: HEREDITY & VARIATION
CELL: BASIC UNIT OF LIFE
CHROMOSOMES: THE NO. OF CONDENSED
GENETIC MATERIAL
HUMANS HAS 46 CHROMOSOMES.
: DIPLOID- COMPLETE SET OF
CHROMOSOMES (46)
: HAPLOID- PRODUCES FOUR
DAUGHTER CELLS (23)
KEY PARTS (INVOLVED IN CELL
DIVISION)
NUCLEUS: CONTAINS THE GEETIC
MATERIAL DNA AND
CONTROLS CELLULAR GROUP PR
REPROCUTION
CENTRIOLES: CELLULAR STRUCTURE
THAT APPEARS IN PAIRS
: ORGANIZE SPINDLE FIBERS
TO AID IN THE MIGRATION
OF GENETIC DURING MITOSIS AND
MEIOSIS.
CHROMATIN: A MASS OF GENETIC
MATERIAL COMPOSED OF
DNA AND PROTEINS THAT CONDENSE TO
FORM CHROMOSOMES AND
APPEAR DURING INTERPHASE
CHROMOSOME: AN ORGANIZED
STRUCTURE OF DNA AND
PROTEIN FOUND IN CELLS.
CELL DIVISION
-PROCESS THE RESULTS ON THE
FORMATION OF NEW CELLS
REASONS: TO REPLACE WORN-OUT OR
DAMAGED CELLS.
1. MITOSIS: BODY CELLS/ SOMATIC CELLS
(AUTOSOMES) / VEGETATIVE
PARTS
2. MEIOSIS: SEX CELLS/ GAMETES/
REPRODUCTIVE CELLS (EGG AND
SPERM CELLS)
MITOSIS
: CELL DIVIDES THAT PRODUCES TWO
IDENTICAL DAUGHTER CELLS WITH
THE SAME NUMBER OF
CHROMOSOMES.
