Parent CellParent Cell

Daughter CellDaughter Cell

Mitosis

New cells must have the same number of chromosomes. The DNA must be duplicated.

Humans: 46Fruit Flies: 8Cat: 32Potato and Chimp: 48

- a type of cell division which produces daughter cells exactly like the parent.

MITOSIS is a series of changes MITOSIS is a series of changes or phasesor phases

In plants, a new cell wall - called a cell plate - forms between the daughter cells.

ASSIGNMENT:WORKSHEET “MITOSIS”

DNA - “deoxyribonucleic acid”

- a chemical which makes up the chromosomes.

- Key to heredity.- Duplicated during

mitosis.

It’s structure and how it works was a mystery until 1952.

James Watson and Francis Crick-proved the shape/structure of DNA was a double helix. (twisted ladder) p.111

The DNA molecule is made of four chemicals put into a certain order.

- the sequence forms the hereditary code.

- it controls eye color, height, allergies, etc.

Base pairs

Guanine --- Cytosine

Adenine --- Thymine

A section of the chromosome called a gene determines traits.

Ex. blonde hair, blue eyes, etc

DNA is duplicated during mitosis

- called replication.- sometimes an error

occurs (caused by pollution or x-rays) called a mutation.

- a permanent change in the gene.

- most are harmful.

ex. deformed frogs in Minnesota.

DNA ResearchRecombinant DNA- new DNA created

when DNA from one organism is combined with another organism.

- also called “gene splicing”.

This has created “new” organisms.

1. oil eating bacteria.

2. Disease resistant potatoes.

3. Insulin producing bacteria.

4. “Round-up ready” corn

What if we could replace the DNA strand which causes

cancer?

Many are against DNA research. We could create a very deadly disease.

Cloning

- a clone is genetically identical to its parent.

- The DNA comes from one parent - not two.

- Good? Bad?

CLASSIFICATION (P. 22-26)

- methods of grouping things according to similarities or differences.

Ex. by size, color, age, etc.

Classifying organisms is called taxonomy.- started by Aristotle

in 350 BC.

Many disagreements about the groupings:

-by air?

-by sea?

-by land?Where to put frogs? Geese?

Today’s system is called binomial nomenclature (two-name naming)

Ex. Canis lupus- created by

Carolus Linnaeus.

Ex. Canis familiaris

Latin was used by scientists and scholars in the 1700’s.

- used today to avoid the confusion of using many different languages.

Ex. Spanish moss- not Spanish- not moss

The Latin names are an organism’s genus species.

Canis familiaris

Genus grouping Species grouping

Always capitalized

Always lower case.

“smallest”

Can produce offspring

Both italicized

Other examples:

Felis domesticus

Acer rubrum ‘red maple’

Homo sapiens sapiens

Bison bison

ASSIGNMENT:

READ PAGES 22 - 26.

CLASSIFICATION CATEGORIES

- there are seven different levels of scientific classifications.

- it becomes more exact/specific as you “move down”.

Ex. Bottlenose Dolphin

Tursiops truncatus

Kingdom Animal

Phylum Chordate

Class Mammal

Order Cetacea

Family Delphinadae

Genus Tursiops

Species truncatus

King Phillip cried out for goodness sake

Six Kingdom Classification

1) Kingdom Animal

- are multicellular.

- can move from place to place.

- cannot make their own food.

2) Kingdom Plant

- make their own food through photosynthesis.

- can be large (redwoods) or unicellular (plankton)

3) Kingdom Fungi

-can not move.

- can not make their own food.

- absorb food from dead material.

Ex. mushrooms, mold, yeast.

4) Kingdom Protist

-are unicellular.

- have traits of both plants and animals.

Ex. Euglena

- can move but it has chloroplasts.

5) Kingdom Eubacteria

Ex. strep.

6) Kingdom Archebacteria

Ex. stromatolites-both are prokaryotic.

- unicellular.

- Archebacteria are ‘older’ and more primitive and can live in harsh conditions.

The difference between them is their chemical make-up.

These kingdoms were formed when Kingdom Monera was split into two.
