Document Summary

Lecture 2 - mitosis & meiosis cellular reproduction. We are concerned here with eukaryotic cell reproduction. Segregation of genes from generations to generations follow the segregation of chromosomes: more complex than prokaryotic cell reproduction. Centromere (location where two sister chromatids are attached), telomere (ends of chromosomes) Many eukaryotes have two copies of each type of chromosomes in their nuclei: diploid (2n) Diploid organisms are produced by a fusion of 2 gametes, 1 from female parent, other from male. Gametes are haploid (n) - fusion produce a diploid zygote (2n) Diploid and haploid are not only the possibilities - there could be many more. This class, only diploid and haploids would be dealt with. Haploid (n) - one copy of genetic material subdivided into chromosomes: singular sister chromatid. Diploid (2n) - two copies of genetic material subdivided into chromosomes: a pair of sister chromatids. Gamete comes from each of the parent.
