Anuiploidy + non-disjunction Flashcards
Iclicker 1
Diploid – have 2 copies of Homologous Chromosomes
- 2 chromosomes (count by # of centromeres)
iclicker 2
Still diploid – # of dsDNA strands changes BUT still only 2 chromsomes – still diploid
iclicker 3
After anaphase – have 1 copy of HC
- Seperated = haploid
Ploidy in Meiosis
Dplioid –> Diploid –> Haploids (during Anaphase)
- Meiosis 2 = get haploid
- After anaphase each cell has 1 copy of HC
Ploidy
Number of copies
Example – humans are diploid –> 2 copies of all 23 unique chromosomes
slide 14 - What is the ploidy of this human cell?
Triploid – have 3 copies of each chromsome
Polyploid
When there is over 2N (over diploid) for every chromosome
- Every cell has same # of chromosomes and its more than normal for that sepcies
Aneuploid
An abnormal number of one or more chromosomes
- Have non-typical number at one or more than one but not all
Ex. Trisomy 21 –> Downsyndrome
Polyplodit stability
Animals – Polyploidy is lethal in most animals
Fungi – Ploidy is unstable in fungi
Plants – Many plants are tolerant of polyploidy
Polyploidy in plants
Polyploidy tends to lead to larger fruits/flowers
- Common in plants because get bigger fruit
Well tolerated in plants
Triploids are usually sterile because 3 chromsomes don’t know how to line up during metaphase
Example – plants were diploid and had seeds that trun balck and now they are triploud and now seeds don’t trun black
Example 2 – Strawberry
Small = wild = diploid
Big = Octoploid
Triploid plants
Are usually sterile – because three chromosomes don’t know how to line up during metaphase
How does polyploid occur
Ploidy cell typically organinate when spindle fibers don’t form correctley during meiosis
- Arise due to mistake in mitosis or meiosis
- HC alugn on splindle that pulls them apart –> if prevent spindle from forming = won’t be pulled = stay in the middle
- Spindle fibers cam’t form = seperarting chromsomes = stay in teh same cell during cytokenesis
Mutation preventing from spindle from forming
The two seperating chromosomes stay in the same cell during cytokensis
- No spindle = chromosomes stay together
One cell = has no DNA
One cell = has double DNA – one cell has extra copy of every chromosome
Disjunction
The seperation of chromosomes
When does disjunction occur
Mitosis – Anaphase
Meiosis – Anaphase 1 and Anaphase 2
Nondisjuction
When chromosomes or sister chromatids fail to seperate
Chromosomes = not seperating –> ALL dragged to one side of the cell
What leads to Annupliody
Non-disjuction – mistake in disjunction
When can nondisjunction occur?
Mitosis + meiosis 1 + meiosis 2
Can occur in males and females
How many chromosomes does nondisjunction usually affect
Typically only affects 1 chromosome
ALL others segragate normally
Result of nondisjunction
Results in varaition in chromsome number – ganates with the wrong number of chromosomes
Nondisjunction in M1 – 2N, 2N , 0N , 0N
Nondisjunction in M2 – 2N, 0N, 1N, 1N
***Add in image
How often is nondisjunction
Rare event – mistake in meiosis
- More likley in one cell
Even more rare if have nondisjunction in Meiosis 2 that it will occur in both cells in Meiosis 2 – will only occur one cell (because rare)
Slide 22 – iclicker
2N + 1N –> get 3N
Slide 23 – iclicker
Meiosis 1 – Because 2 gamates with 2N than in Meisosis 2 (have 2 2N in meiosis 1 and 1 2N in meiosis 2) = more likley to get 2N – can the combine to get 3N
Result of fertalization after annuploidy
Meiosis 1 – 2N –> 3N
0N –> 1N
2N + 2N + 0N + 0N —> 3N + 3N + 1N + 1N
***3N = trisomy
End = get trisomy
Meiosis 2 – 2N + 0N + 1N + 1N –> 3N + 1N + 2N + 2N
