Chapter 36, Problem 9TYU

(a)

Summary Introduction

To draw:

Four rounds of mitosis of the stem cell.

Concept introduction:

Spermatogenesis is the process where sperm cells are produced through the meiosis of the spermatogonium. Stem cells are the undifferentiated cells which can give rise to every type of cell it is found with and in the process it also gives rise to another stem cell.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To draw:

Single mitosis followed by meiosis of a spermatogonium.

Concept introduction:

Spermatogenesis is the process where sperm cells are produced through the meiosis of the spermatogonium. Stem cells are the undifferentiated cells which can give rise to every type of cell it is found with and in the process it also gives rise to another stem cell.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine:

What would happen if the stem cell divides like the spermatogonium.

Concept introduction:

Spermatogenesis is the process where sperm cells are produced through the meiosis of the spermatogonium. Stem cells are the undifferentiated cells which can give rise to every type of cell it is found with and in the process it also gives rise to another stem cell.

Mitosis differs from meiosis in the following ways EXCEPT:(a) Mitosis results in a full complement of chromosomesin two cells, whereas meiosis results in four cells havinghalf the number of chromosomes.(b) In mitosis, all chromosomes are replicated, whereas inmeiosis, only half are replicated.(c) Mitosis only occurs in somatic or body cells, whereasmeiosis occurs in production of gametes or sex cells.(d) None of the above.(e) a and c only
Meiosis in males produces four spermatids, each of which contains: (a) 23 chromosomes. (b) 23 pairs of chromosomes. (c) the diploid number of chromosomes. (d) 46 pairs of chromosomes.
The diagram in Figure 1 shows a section through the mammalian testis. With reference to this diagram answer the following questions:     FIGURE 1   (a) What percentage of each of the following types of cells would you expect to contain an X chromosome. Give a REASON for your answer in each case.  i) type cell A                                                                                          ii) type cell B                                                                                                                      (b)Name the cell type labelled B which under goes mitosis.  State the importance of mitosis in a mature testis.
