BABS1201 Lecture Notes - Lecture 14: Cell Membrane, Dna Replication, Cell Division

36 views8 pages

Document Summary

Dna replication commences at the origin of replication. Replication of the chromosome continues and each origin becomes attached separately to the plasma membrane. Once replication is complete, the plasma membrane grows inward to separate the 2 new daughter cells and a new cell wall is deposited. The number of cells in the human is ~ 1 billion per gram of tissue - all derived from a single cell - the fertilised egg. So, large numbers of cells must replicate often to produce the adult human. It is essential that this process is precisely regulated. Cell cycle times vary for different cell types but for most replicating human cells, it is between. Mitotic phase: nucleus divides and chromosomes are distributed to daughter cells (mitosis) and the cytoplasm divides into two daughter cells (cytokinesis). Dna is replicated, packaged with proteins to form chromatin and is then condensed for cell division. Explain the difference between a gene and a chromosome.
