3. CELL PROLIFERATION
An act of a cell to reproduce and multiply in number
Human body consists of;
Somatic cells
Genetic cells (oogonium and spermatogonium)
All body cells are somatic cells
Somatic cells proliferate by mitosis
Genetic cells undergo meiosis
Several rad (many grays) are needed for cell damage
4. CELL CYCLE
Geneticist see cell cycle as mitosis and interphase
Somatic cells division by stages (mitosis);
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
The portion of a cell cycle b/w mitotic events is called
interphase
Interphase is cell growth b/w division
In cell cycle; M, G1, S, G2 phases happens
Phases are characterised by structure of
chromosomes
5. CELL CYCLE …….
G1 is the pre-DNA synthesis phase
This is the gap in cell growth between M and S
S is the synthesis phase (DNA replicated in two identical
DNA daughter)
In S, chromosomes transferred from two chromatids
(centromere in centre) to four chromatids
Results in two pairs of homologous chromatids with
same DNA contents and structure
G2 phase is a post-DNA synthesis gap of a cell growth
6. MITOSIS
Chromosomes are not visible
DNA slowly takes the shape of chromosomes
Prophase
Nucleus swells, DNA prominent, structural form
Metaphase
Chromosomes appears, lined up equator of nucleus
Anaphase
Splitting of chromosomes at centromere, chromatids connected by fibers
Spindles fibers, chromosomes are half and moved towards the spindle
Telophase
Chromosomes into DNA, two nuclei (membrane covering), cytoplasm division
7. MEIOSIS
Genetic material changes by division process called meiosis
Genetic cells-somatic cells (23 pairs or 46 chromosomes)
If genetic cells marriage to another genetic cells (must be 23)
The union of genetic cells must result in 46
It starts with 46 chromosomes
Appears same at G2 phase and have completed
Progress into two daughter cells by mitosis
Contains 46 chromosomes of two chromatids each
All of sub phases are same
8. MEIOSIS
Each daughter cells progresses to second division
All material including chromosomes are divided
Second division not accompanied by S-phase
No replication of DNA occurs
No chromosomes are duplicated
The granddaughter cells contains only 23 chromosomes
Parent cell undergone two division
Some chromosomal material are exchanged by crossing over
Change in genetic constitution and changes in traits
9. TISSUES AND ORGANS
Collection of cells similar structure and function called tissues
Tissues are bound together to form organs
Different organs perform same function forms organ system
Tissues and organs of body includes stem cells and mature cells
They are susceptible to radiation based on degree of radiosensitivity
Assignment: Response to radiation in relation to cell type!?
