Structure of chromosomes:



Structure Of Chromosomes:

Structure of chromosome

Structurally the chromosomes consist of following parts
1. Chromatids
2.centromere or primary construction
3. Chromonema and chromomeres
4. Secondary construction or nuclear organizer
5. Telomere




1 Chromatids
Chromosomes consist of two thread like structure called chromatids.
2. Centromere or primary construction:
The chromatids are connected with each other by a small round structure called centromere (  In centromere the proteins are present which provide attachment with microtubules are called kinetochore.
The position of the centromere is specific in the chromosomes.
3:chromonema and chromonemata:
The chromatids are composed of two thin highly coiled filaments called chromonema or chromonemata. Each chromonema contains a double stranded DNA.
Both chromonema are coiled in spiral manner and they also contain swellings on their surface called chromomeres( structural subunit of chromosomes.the arrangement of chromomere structure can help in control of gene expression.)
There are several hundreds chromomeres on each chromosomes.the thin regions in between the chromomeres on each chromosomes are called interchromomeres. The position of chromomeres in the chromonema is constant is constant in each chromosome.
The outer membrane of chromosome is called pellicle and the inner part of chromosome in which chromonema are present is known as matrix.
The modern biologist do not consider the presence of peelicle,matrix and chromonema.
4: Secondary construction or nuclear Organizer:
Certain chromosomes also contain an additional part called secondary construction. It is associated with the nucleolus so it is called Nucleolus organizer(crucial for the formation of of the nucleolus l,in humans NORs are located on the short arms of the acrocentric chromosomes 13,14,15,21 and 22.during cell division NORs do not breaks).
     Stellite body: after secondary construction a small part of chromosome is called Stellite body.the chromosomes which contain stellite body are called SAT chromosomes,term is due to Sergei Navashin 1912
5. Telomere:
It is the polar part or end portion of chromosome. It does not allow the attachment of another chromosome.(found in wide range of eukaryotic to proists,if a chromosome break then without telomere they can bind).
      (3#Next post will be about types of chromosomes on the basis of centromere and position of centromere)

Neurotransmitters and receptors

Image
Neurotransmitters and receptors Did you know there are billions of neurons—and trillions of synapses—in your amazing brain? ^1 1 start superscript, 1, end superscript  (No wonder you can learn anything, including neurobiology!) Most of your synapses are  chemical synapses , meaning that information is carried by chemical messengers from one neuron to the next. In the article on synapses, we discussed how synaptic transmission works. Here, we’ll focus on  neurotransmitters , the chemical messengers released from neurons at synapses so that they can “talk” to neighboring cells. We’ll also look at the receptor proteins that let the target cell “hear” the message. Neurotransmitters: Conventional and unconventional There are many different kinds of neurotransmitters, and new ones are still being discovered! Over the years, the very idea of what makes something a neurotransmitter has changed and broadened. Because the definition has expanded, some recently discovered n

Excretion in Invertibrate,(Excretion in Planaria, Excretion in Earthworm,Excretion in Cockroach)

Image
Excretion in Invertibrate Excretion in Planaria Habitat : Planaria is a fresh water invertebrate.   Excretory product: planaria remove ammonia and it is ammonotlic. This excretion occurs by two methods, diffusion, specialized excretory system. Excretory organs: Planaria has simple tubular excretory system called protonephiridia. Protonephridia arranged in two longitudinal trunk one on each side of the body. Each track consists of a network of tubules without internal openings. These tubules divide into small branches which open in flame cells. Tubules open on the outside by small opening called nephridiophores. Structure of flame cell: Flame cells are club shaped hollow cells. Each flame cell contains nucleus, cytoplasm and internal cavity. Group of cilia is present in the cavity. Cilia perform a movement like a flame of candle. Flame cells also has many cytoplasmic elongations. Mechanism of excretion: Flame cells absorb wastes and push them into the cavit

Waste Products Of Animals

Image
Nitrogenous Wastes Of Animal: Waste Products Of Animals: The nitrogenous wastes are urea,ammonia and uric acid . These all wastes are not removed by the same animal. These wastes are produced and excreted by different animal which are living in different habitats. The type of nitrogenous waste and their excretion depend upon the habitat of an animal. 1.Ammonia (NH3): It is the excretory product of aquatic animals ,developes by the break down of amino acids,harmful to the living cells,excreted by diffusion and highly soluble in water. About 500 ml of water is needed to remove one gram of ammonia . Animals those excrete ammonia are called ammonotelic . Examples: Eartworm, protozians, sponges and fishes etc. 2.Urea {CO (NH2)2}: It is the excretory products of mostly land animals ,produced by the liver from ammonia,less toxic than ammonia and can be store in the body for short time. One gram of urea require 50 ml of water for excretion. Animals those remove urea are
