How much DNA has each of daughter cells in the end of mitosis? 5 ng Shipunov (MSU) Introduction to Botany.

Lecture 14 September 30, 2015 5 / 17 Life cycle Basics Multicellularity, or Origin of Death Sometimes, cells do not part after mitosis. These simple cell aggregates may benefit from their size (e.g., harder to swallow) and putative division of labor (e.g., capture light from different sides and share products of photosynthesis) Next step is to separate germ cells and somatic cells. Somatic cells with eventually die whereas germ cells may give an offspring. This is the beginning of multicellularity. Life cycles of multicellular organisms are based on interleaving gaplont and diplont, the second is making spores Shipunov (MSU) Introduction to Botany.

They have two variants of each gene! 1 Dominance: if one gene is deadly mutated, there is the second working variant 2 Protein production: two genes will give more protein 3 Diversity: if one gene is producing protein adapted to +5...+30◦C and other—to +10...+35◦C, the organism may live under +5...+35◦C Shipunov (MSU) Introduction to Botany. Lecture 14 September 30, 2015 15 / 17 Life cycle Evolution of life cycles Summary Zygotic life cycle has no diplont, gametic life cycle has no haplont, sporic life cycle has both haplont and diplont The evolution of life cycles goes from zygotic to sporic and then to gametic because “diplonts are better” Shipunov (MSU) Introduction to Botany.
