“减数分裂”教学的重要性及建议

(一)减数分裂与细胞学、遗传学的关系现行《生物》课本中“减数分裂与生殖细胞的成熟”一节教材是全书中重要的一节,减数分裂是一种特殊的有丝分裂。在减数分裂过程中细胞经过连续两次分裂,而染色体只复制一次,结果使性细胞中染色体数目减半。性细胞再经受精作用形成合子,合子中染色体数目又恢复到亲代体细胞中染色体数目,从而使亲子代细胞中的遗传物质保持相对稳定。减数分裂的前期I,细胞中的染色体发生了一系列特殊的变化——同源染色体联会、交叉互换和分离。每一对同源染色体中的两条染色体彼此分离,以后随机地分配到二个子细胞中去;异源染色体     

高中生物电化教学一例

一、课题:减数分裂与有性生殖细胞的成熟二、教材分析:凡是进行有性生殖的动植物,在从原始的生殖细胞发展到成熟的生殖细胞的过程中,都要进行减数分裂。减数分裂是细胞连续分裂两次,而染色体在整个过程中只复制一次的特殊方式的有丝分裂。分裂结果,细胞中的染色体数目比原来的减少了一半。教材结合动物的精子和卵细胞的形成过程,比较详细地讲述了减数分裂的基本过程。由于减数分裂是研究肉眼看不见,     

小鼠和人类生殖干细胞形成、特化和维持

哺乳动物胚胎植入子宫后,随着原肠运动的发生,胚胎开始向三个胚层分化,同时生殖细胞开始形成和特化。胚胎最早期的生殖细胞被称为原始生殖细胞(primordial germ cell, PGC),雌雄原始生殖细胞增殖并迁移到生殖嵴,持续增殖后分别进入减数分裂前期和有丝分裂阻滞,分化形成卵原细胞和精原干细胞,经过复杂的发育过程分化形成卵母细胞和精子。该文回顾了小鼠和人类的原始生殖细胞的形成和特化过程,并且对小鼠和人类精原干细胞的分子特征和体外培养体系进行了总结。

支持细胞在生精细胞凋亡过程中的重要作用

精子的生成过程是一个连续的周期性的过程,这包括二倍体的精原细胞进行一系列的有丝分裂,减数分裂最后分化成为成熟的单倍体精子的过程。支持细胞(Sertoli cell)是生精上皮的一种大细胞,它从管周肌样细胞所处的基底膜延伸出去,直到生精小管的管腔内。它的底部与精原细胞相连,胞质的侧面则形成许多突起将互相联系的生精细胞包围起来,成熟的精子就从这儿释放出去。在复杂的动态生精过程中,支持细胞作为精曲小管的重要组成部分指挥着生精细胞的一系列动态过程,包括有丝分裂、减数分裂以及以后的分化。支持细胞通过给生精细胞提供激素、营养以及生理支持来完成它的功能。

1.通过小孢子有丝分裂而形成的生殖细胞,在发育过程中有一系列的包括位移和变形的变化。最后生殖细胞变为纺锤体,准备另一次有丝分裂。在此时期,生殖细胞是裸露的,它只有自己的质膜和被营养细胞的质膜包围。生殖细胞的大部分为明显的椭圆形的核所占据,具高度凝集的染色质。在生殖细胞薄层的细胞质中,除核糖体外,所有的细胞器比营养细胞质中的明显的少,而且小。微管也能在纺锤形的生殖细胞的细胞质中看到,它们的排列方向是和细胞的长轴平行的。在生殖细胞中没有造粉质体。2.当生殖细胞已移位并和营养细胞再次紧密靠近后,它开始分裂。由生殖细胞分裂所形成的精细胞及其发育包括下列主要的变化:精细胞的形状由圆球形变为椭圆形,最后变为具尾延长的细胞。与此同时,细胞质的分布逐渐集中到精细胞的一端,形成细胞质的延伸,构成所谓的精细胞的尾部。有更多的细胞器,特别是线粒体集中在尾部。从生殖细胞分裂刚形成的精细胞是裸露的,所包围的质膜是不连续的。除精细胞的质膜之外,为营养细胞的质膜所包围,在后来的发育时期此双质膜变为连续的,并在一个极短的时期有壁物质——胼胝质沉积在质膜之间的空间。但在此时期之后细胞壁变为不连续的,壁物质明显降低。对生殖细胞分裂前的位置及精细胞发育中形态变化的意义进行了讨论。     

"细胞分裂"课件的设计及分析

1　教材分析本章主要讲述细胞分裂的方式、特点和过程。细胞分裂的方式主要有三种:有丝分裂、无丝分裂和减数分裂。本章着重讲述有丝分裂的过程。主要说明有丝分裂的细胞周期、有丝分裂的几个不同分裂时期及各个时期染色体变化。在细胞周期的间期主要完成组成染色体的ＤＮＡ分子的复制和有关蛋白质的合成。这些知识与学习后面有关遗传物质基础知识有紧密联系,有丝分裂的过程和分裂期特点与讲述减数分裂知识有直接关系。所以真核细胞有丝分裂的细胞周期和有丝分裂过程既是重点又是难点。2　课件设计21　导言复习提问:真核细胞的细胞结构分为…     

Differentiation of generative and vegetative cells in angiosperm pollen

 Cellular differentiation of a generative and a vegetative cell is an important event during microspore and pollen development and is requisite for double fertilization in angiosperms. The generative cell produces two sperm cells, or male gametes, whereas the vegetative cell produces an elongated pollen tube, a gametophytic cell, to deliver the male gametes to the embryo sac. For typical differentiation of the gametic and gametophytic cells, cell polarity, including nuclear positioning, must be established prior to microspore mitosis and be maintained during mitosis. Microtubules are closely involved in the process of asymmetric cell division. On the other hand, alteration of the chromatin composition seems to be responsible for the differential gene expression between the generative and vegetative cells. Cytoplasmic regulatory molecules, which affect chromatin configuration, are postulated to be unequally distributed to the two cells at the asymmetric cell division. Thus, typical differentiation of the cells is accomplished by a cellular mechanism and a molecular mechanism, which might be independent of each other. These results are discussed in relation to one model that accounts for the different fates of generative and vegetative cells during sexual plant reproduction.

Male reproductive cell development in Nicotiana tabacum: male germ unit associations and quantitative cytology during sperm maturation

Generative and sperm cells were examined at four stages of development from generative cell formation to sperm cell maturation using serial transmission electron microscopy. The generative cell and vegetative nucleus are associated in a male germ unit association during pollen maturation and tube elongation, except for generative cell mitosis. At late stages of prophase, this association loosens; the generative cell separates from the vegetative nucleus at metaphase. Slender, unbranched, or occasionally branched projections may be found at one or both ends of the generative cell, or they may be single, blunt, and short. Slender projections are rare during anaphase and telophase. The vegetative nucleus moves back into apposition with one sperm cell at the end of mitosis. During the re-establishment of the association, the vegetative nucleus first touches the end of the leading sperm cell and then moves next to the middle of the sperm nucleus. As the sperm cells enter interphase, a conventional association is re-established between one cell and the vegetative nucleus through one or more long and slender cytoplasmic extensions; these associations are maintained throughout later passage in the pollen tube. During maturation, a significant increase occurs in the surface area of the sperm cells (particularly in the sperm cell in association with the vegetative nucleus), and a lesser increase in nuclear volume and surface area. Other sperm cell parameters, including those of heritable organelles, remain unchanged during sperm cell maturation.     

Brassica napus pollen development during generative cell and sperm cell formation

Summary Brassica napus pollen development during the formation of the generative cell and sperm cells is analysed with light and electron microscopy. The generative cell is formed as a small lenticular cell attached to the intine, as a result of the unequal first mitosis. After detaching itself from the intine, the generative cell becomes spherical, and its wall morphology changes. Simultaneously, the vegetative nucleus enlarges, becomes euchromatic and forms a large nucleolus. In addition, the cytoplasm of the vegetative cell develops a complex ultrastructure that is characterized by an extensive RER organized in stacks, numerous dictyosomes and Golgi vesicles and a large quantity of lipid bodies. Microbodies, which are present at the mature stage, are not yet formed. The generative cell undergoes an equal division which results in two spindle-shaped sperm cells. This cell division occurs through the concerted action of cell constriction and cell plate formation. The two sperm cells remain enveloped within one continuous vegetative plasma membrane. One sperm cell becomes anchored onto the vegetative nucleus by a long extension enclosed within a deep invagination of the vegetative nucleus. Plastid inheritance appears to be strictly maternal since the sperm cells do not contain plastids; plastids are excluded from the generative cell even in the first mitosis.     

Mitosis and Amitosis of Generative Cell Nuclei in Artificially Germinated Pollen Tubes in Zephyranthes candida(Lindl.)Herb.

This paper deals with the comportmem of the vegetative nucleus and its spatial association with the generative cell and sperm cells in the artificially germinated pollen tubes of Zephyranthes candida (Lindl.) Herb. before and after generative cell mitosis with the use of DNA-specific fluochrome 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). The induction of amitosis and abnormal mitosis of generative cell nuclei by cold-pretreatment of the pollen prior to germination was studied in particular. In normal case, the generative cell, after appressing to the vegetative nucleus for certain time, underwent mitosis to form two sperms, while the vegetative nucleus became markedly elongated, diffused, and exhibited blurring of its fluorescence. After division, a pair of sperms remained shortly in close connexion with the vegetative nucleus. Then the vegetative nucleus returned to its original state. In the pollen tubes germinated from cold-pretreated pollen, amitosis of some generative cell nuclei were frequently observed. Amitosis took place via either equal or unequal division with a mode of constriction. During amitosis, the dynamic change of vegetative nucleus and its intimate association with generative cell afore described did not occur. Sperm nuclei produced from amitosis could farther undergo amitisis resulting in micronnclei. Factors affecting the amitosic rate of generative cells, such as pollen developmental stage, temperature and duration of cold-pretreatment, were studied. Besides amitosis, cold-pretreatment also induced some abnormal mitotic behavior leading to the formation of micronuclei. Based on our observations and previously reported facts in other plant materials, it is inferred that the vegetative nucleus plays an important role in normal mitosis of generative cell and development of sperms.

Generative Cell Division and Sperm Cell Association in the Pollen Grain of Sambucus nigra

Generative cell division in tricellular pollen grains of Sambucusnigra L. (Caprifoliaceae) has been examined with light and electronmicroscopy. During division the generative cell is located inthe centre of the pollen grain, near to the nucleus of a surroundingvegetative cell. Conventional mitosis of the generative cellis followed by cytokinesis through centrifugal cell plate formation.Two sister sperm cells remain in spatial contact with each otherand are surrounded, as formerly their progenitor cell was, bythe vegetative cell. From the changes of shape of the generativecell during division and of the sperm cells it may be assumedthat the space between these cells and the vegetative one containsa labile, non-rigid, wall material. No plastids have been observedin the generative cell and its mitochondria appear to be unequallydistributed between the two future sperm cells during division.

Generative cell division and sperm cell formation in barley

Summary Shortly before and during division, the generative cell of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is located near the vegetative nucleus, in the peripheral layer of the highly vacuolated vegetative cell at the aperture pole. This position is also characteristic of the two resulting sperm cells. Conventional mitosis of the generative cell is followed by cytokinesis through cell plate formation. Just after division, the two sperm cells are enclosed together within a common inner vegetative cell plasma membrane, and they gradually separate from each other only during pollen maturation. The space between the generative or sperm cell plasma membrane and the vegetative cell plasma membrane is very thin and appears to be devoid of a cell wall. Both the generative cell and the young sperm cells contain a normal set of organelles; plastids devoid of starch are only sporadically observed. Our data indicate that in Hordeum vulgare the generative cell divides after migrating inside the pollen grain. This follows the pattern of development well established for several species with tricellular pollen.     

Male gametophyte development inPlumbago zeylanica: cytoplasm localization and cell determination in the early generative cell

Summary The behavior of the generative cell during male gametophyte development inPlumbago zeylanica was examined by epifluorescence microscopy and electron microscopy with organelle nucleoid as a cytoplasm marker. When the thin sections stained with 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindoIe (DAPI) were observed under an epifluorescence microscope, two types of fluorescence spots were detected in the cytoplasm of the pollen cells before the second mitosis. The spots emitting stronger fluorescence were confirmed as plastid nucleoids and those emitting dimmer fluorescence were mitochondrial nucleoids. Before the first mitosis, both plastid and mitochondrial nucleoids distributed randomly in the cytoplasm of the microspore. A small lenticular generative cell formed with attachment to the interior of the intine after the mitosis. Small vacuoles were found in the lenticular cell. In the cytoplasm of the lenticular cell, both plastid nucleoids and the small vacuoles were distributed randomly at the very beginning but began to migrate in opposite directions immediately. Plastid nucleoids aggregated to the side of the cell that faces the pollen center and the small vacuoles aggregated to the side of the cell that attaches to the inline. As the result, the lenticular generative cell appeared highly polarized in cytoplasm location soon after the first mitosis. In accordance with the definition of the cytoplasm polarization, the primary wall between the generative and the vegetative cells began to flex and the lenticular generative cell started to protrude towards the pollen center. When the generative cell peeled away from the inline, it was spherical in shape with the pole that aggregated plastids towards the vegetative nucleus. But the cell direction appeared to be transformed immediately. The pole that aggregated small vacuoles turned to the position towards the vegetative nucleus and the pole that aggregated plastid nucleoids turned to the position countering to the vegetative nucleus. A cellular protuberance formed at the edge of the pole that aggregated small vacuoles and elongated into a tapered end that got into contact with the vegetative nucleus. The polarization of the cytoplasm kept constant throughout the second mitosis. The small vacuoles that apportioned to the sperm cell which attached the vegetative nucleus (the leading sperm cell) disappeared during sperm cell maturation. Plastid nucleoids were apportioned to the other sperm cell (the trailing sperm cell) completely. Mitochondrial nucleoids became undetectable after the second mitosis.     

Origin of sperm cell association in the “male germ unit” ofBrassica pollen

The association of the two sperm cells inBrassica napus pollen following the generative cell division was investigated. The generative cell during division is located in the center of the pollen grain, within the vegetative cell. The space present between the two cells is slightly irregular as seen following standard glutaraldehyde fixation. After completion of mitosis vesicles appear in the equatorial plane, coalescing centripetally to form a cell plate which fuses with the membrane of the generative cell, dividing it in two sperm cells. They are isolated from the vegetative cell by the space between the two cell membranes and are separated from each other by a similar space resulting from the cell plate formed during cytokinesis.     

土麦冬离体萌发花粉管中生殖细胞与营养核的动态变化

主要报道了土麦冬人工培养萌发花粉管中生殖细胞与营养核的动态变化。多数花粉管中,生殖细胞与营养核贴合后,开始进行有丝分裂,贴合时,营养核略呈弥散状态。在分裂早中期,生殖细胞与营养核分开,从贴合到分开大约经历３－５ｈ,精子形成后,不与营养核连接。ＤＡＰＩ对生殖细胞的有丝分裂有抑制作用。少数花粉管中,生殖细胞核进行无丝分裂,有缢裂和劈裂两种方式。生殖细胞核发生缢裂的花粉管中,未观察到生殖细胞与营养核的贴
