Title: Tetrahymena Mating
Tetrahymena are often found in fresh water ponds, lakes, and streams. The cells are quite large and their complexity rivals that of a human cell. This makes them a good alternative to things like human tissues. The cells do not cost much to grow and require little resources to culture effectively (Ciliate Genomics, nd). They are ciliate protozoa. Like humans, they mate, but for different reasons. They do not mate to reproduce, they mate to survive. There are seven different sexes and they numbered one through seven. This high number of sexes opens up many doors in the world of mating, therefore Tetrahymena are not as limited as other creatures on Earth. For example, Humans only have two sexes which limit us drastically in the world of mating (Zoologger, 2015). In order for Tetrahymena to mate the cells must be starved of nutrients, mature, and must be a different sex. The same two sexes cannot mate (Ciliate Genomics, nd).
Tetrahymena have two nuclei. The germline nucleus and the somatic nucleus. The germline nucleus is also known as the micro nucleus, which controls the complicated sex life. The macronucleus, or somatic nucleus, deals with the everyday functions of the cell (Zoologger, 2015). The Gender of the offspring cells is determined during the mating. Fertilization results in a new micro and macro
In the science world, Tetrahymena is a uni-cellular organism found in most fresh water ponds, streams and lakes. Tetrahymena cells can tolerate many environments and are notably used as a model organism in eukaryotic cell biology and research. A model organism can be defined as an organism that is easy to culture in a laboratory and shares many similar processes and genes with complex multi-cellular organisms, for example, cells in the human body. The use of Tetrahymena as a model organism has led to the discovery of ribozymes, telomere structure and even the motor protein, dynein.
3. Explain your prediction for the effect Na+ Cl- might have on glucose transport. In other words, explain why you picked the choice that you did. How well did the results compare with your prediction?
The event in which a tetrad doesn’t split into homologous chromosomes or a homologous chromosome doesn’t split into sister chromatids, which causes an imbalance in the chromosome count of the produced gametes.
You may use the lab manual, pre-lab lectures, and credible internet resources, however you may not use your cell bio lab classmates as a resource. You will most likely see this material again on the Final and I highly encourage you to work individually and seek help from myself or your TA. Plagiarism will result in an automatic zero.
Q1. In 1944, at the beginning of his book What is Life, the great physicist Erwin Schrodinger asked the following question: “How can the events in time and space which take place within the spatial boundary of a living organism be accounted for by physics and chemistry?" What would be your answer today?
Judson contributes to onefs understanding of sex among different organisms in that she makes difficult concepts simple to comprehend. Although she uses scientific terminology, she limits it so that anyone can understand the technical information she shares. Judson also describes the types of environments in which each species and
3. Water is a precious natural resource in Florida and it is said that supplies are dwindling. Desalinization (removing salt from) ocean water has been recommended as a solution to the problem. Why shouldn’t we drink salt water? Explain.
There are many parts of a cell, they all have specific duties, and are all
P1 – Describe the microstructure of a typical animal cell and the functions of the main cell components. A typical animal cell is seen as a tiny, three dimensional sac which is in fact made up of many components, each as important as the other. The microstructure of an animal cell was in fact uncovered mainly through the use of both cell fractionation and electron microscopy. Each main component has its own, individual function which helps a cell to function and maintains the cell membrane. The components that I will be describing include the cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria, lysosomes, Golgi bodies, centrioles, endoplasmic reticulum (both smooth and rough) and ribosomes.
Throughout decades, sexual selection has been acknowledged in the explanation of evolutionary patterns. With research, we have had the opportunity to study species of animals like the Syngnathidae family. Animals that are included in this category include pipefish, seahorses, and sea dragons. This species is known for their sex role reversal, meaning that the male fertilizes and carries the eggs during incubation after the female has laid them. When we look more specifically at the pipefish, it is found that males are left with most of the parenting and care for the offspring. As the male carries its eggs, it supplies them with nutrients and oxygen through the placenta. During pipefish copulation, the female transfers her eggs through a small
On 07/11/2015 at the Lower Buckeye Jail (located at the above listed address) I was assigned as the floor officer for Tower 12. At approximately 1555 hours, Inmate Asad, Sami T188658 (V1) came out to Level 1 core stating that he had been hit in the back of the head multiple times inside his cell in T12 B pod. Inmate Asad was placed into the level 1 holding tank awaiting medical.
Cell Theory is an explanation that says everything is made of cells. It continues on to say that those cells came from preexisting cells. Cell Theory is a theory because it is a frame-worked explanation of an observation made by many biologists like Anar Van Leeuwenhoek. Van Leeuwenoek studied plant stems, pond water, and gathered a conclusion that generally, all of those things are made of cells. Other biologists like Louis Pasteur added onto this idea that all organisms are composed of cells. A theory is also composed of two components; a sequence of patterns in the world and the thing or catalyst that is responsible for the pattern. The sequence of the pattern in Cell theory is that every organism in the world are made up of cells.
About Cells Cell, smallest unit of an organism that can function independently. All living organisms are made of cells, and it is generally held that nothing less than a cell can truly be said to be alive. Some microscopic organisms, such as bacteria and protozoa, are single cells whereas animals and plants are composed of many millions of cells assembled into tissues and organs. Although viruses and cell-free extracts are able to perform many individual functions of a living cell, they lack the capacity shown by cells of independent survival, growth, and replication and are therefore not considered
PM331 Essay: Exosomes, their cell biology, normal function in the cell, and role in disease.
The cell is the smallest unit able to sustain life, and they are often referred to as the building blocks of life. There are two primary types of cell, which are categorized according to the way their genetic material is packaged, rather than size or shape. These are:
