GAMETOGENESIS

41
Q

• The lineage of cells from which gametes arise.

A

GERM LINE

42
Q

• The cells which produce the gametes.

A

PRIMORDIAL GERM CELLS (PGCs)

43
Q

• In mammals, primordialgerm cells arise from yolk
sac endoderm. The cells migrate around the gut to
the mesentery into the gonad.

• In birds and reptiles, they travel through the blood
stream and into the gonads.

• Two successive meiosis occur during
gametogenesis to reduce the diploid number of chromosomes of germ cells into haploid.

• Stages of meiosis is similar with the stages of
mitosis, i.e. P I,II ; M I,II ; A I,II and T I,II.

• Timing of meiosis differs in males and females.

• In males, meiosis starts from the onset of puberty
throughout the entire reproductive life.

• In females, meiosis starts before birth and completion of meiosis is upon fertilization.

A

PGC MIGRATION

44
Q

• A process where a single cell divides
into two identical daughter cells (cell division) with
same diploid number of chromosomes.

• When you say diploid number it refers to the 2N
number of chromosomes of the cell in contrast to the
N ,a haploid number, ex. in humans 2N=46 and
N=23chromosomes.

• The major purpose of mitosis is for growth and to
replace worn out cells.

A

MITOSIS

45
Q

• A process where a single cell divides
twice to produce four cells containing half the
original amount of genetic information.

A

MEIOSIS

46
Q

What part or cell organelles are involved in
mitosis?

A

Cell membrane, nucleus, nuclear
membrane and centriole.

47
Q

What cells in the body are diploid, which are
haploid?

A

The diploid cells are the somatic cells and
the haploid cells are the sex cells (gametes).

48
Q

How do the cells become haploid?

A

During meiosis the sex cells become
haploid.

49
Q

Why the sex cells ( gametes: sperm & egg) are
haploid?

A

During fertilization where the egg and
sperm cell unite will not result to polyploidy (more
than 2 sets of chromosomes).

50
Q

• Cell cycle is a repeating series of events that
include growth, DNA synthesis, and cell division.

• In prokaryotes is quite simple: the cell grows, its
DNA replicates, and the cell divides (asexual
reproduction).

• In eukaryotes, the cell cycle is more complicated,
has several phases.
• The mitotic phase (M) actually includes both
mitosis and cytokinesis. This is when the nucleus
and then the cytoplasm divide.

• The other three phases (G1, S, and G2) are
generally grouped together as interphase. During
interphase, the cell grows, performs routine life
processes, and prepares to divide.

A

CELL CYCLE AND CELL DIVISION

51
Q

• Cell undergoes rapid growth.

• Synthesize amino acids needed for DNA
replication.

• If a cell is not dividing, the cell enters the G0
phase from this phase.

A

Growth Phase 1 (G1): Longest phase

52
Q

• Forms two genetically identical daughter cells.

• During this phase, the amount of DNA in the cell is
doubled, though the cell remains in a diploid state.

A

Synthesis Phase (S)

53
Q

• A shortened
growth period in which many organelles are
reproduced or formed. Parts necessary for mitosis
and cell division are made during G2, including
microtubules used in the mitotic spindle.

A

Growth Phase 2 (G2)

54
Q

• The resting phase where the cell has left the cycle
and has stopped dividing.

• These cells may remain in G0 for a long period of
time, even indefinitely, such as with neurons.

• Cells that are completely differentiated may also
enter G0.

• Some cells stop dividing when issues of
sustainability or viability of their daughter cells
arise, such as with DNA damage or degradation, a
process called cellular senescence.

• Cellular senescence occurs when normal diploid
cells lose the ability to divide, normally after about
50 cell divisions.

A

G0 phase

55
Q

• The entire process involved in the transformation
of germinal epithelial cells (stem cells) to
spermatozoa.

• Occur in the seminiferous tubules of the testis.

• Can be divided into two phases:
spermatocytogenesis & spermiogenesis.

A

SPERMATOGENESIS

56
Q

• Proliferative phase whereby spermatogonial cells
multiply by a series of mitotic divisions followed by
the meiotic divisions which produce the haploid (n)
number of chromosomes.

A

SPERMATOCYTOGENESIS

57
Q

• Maturation of the spermatids while they are still in
the adluminal compartment.

A

SPERMIOGENESIS

58
Q

of the seminiferous tubules where they stay for a
while then migrate in the epididymis for further
maturation.

A

A

Two zona binding sites

92
Q

• Proposed model for zona binding and the
initiation of the acroso- mal reaction in mammalian
spermatozoa. The sperm plasma membrane
overlying the acrosome contains two receptor-like
regions. The first, called the zona binding region
(ZBR), reacts with ZP3 to cause physical
attachment of the sperm to the zona pellucida. A
second membrane region, the acrosome reaction
promoting region (ARPR), also binds to ZP3 and
initiates the acrosome reaction by causing the sperm
plasma membrane to fuse (arrows) to the outer acrosomal membrane.
