Lecture 2 Flashcards
meiosis
crossing over and independnt assortment and fertilization
2 ways to get genetic variagtion
mutaion and sexual reproduction… mutation only way to get new information
the production of haploid gametes
meiosis
the fuiosn of haploid gametes
fertilization
consequences of meiossi
genetic variation
interphase
DNA synthesis and chromosomes replication phase
seperation of homologous chromosome pairs, and reduction of the chromosome number by half
meiosis 1
seperation of sister chromatids, also known as equational division
meiosis II
major results of meiosis
increase in cell numbers sometimes, duaghter cells are not genetically identical, daugther cells are haploid, formation of gametes… compare to mitosis
gametognesis
spermatogensis. oogenesis… produces sperm and eggs
synapsis
pairing of homologous chromosmes
crossing over
in meiosis
meiosis requires
two consectutive cell divisions but only one cycle of DNA replication
crossing over
- once chromosome possesses the A and B allele
- and the homologous chromosomes possesses the a and b allele
DNA SYNTHESIS - DNA replication in the S phase produces identical sister chromatids
CROSSING OVER - During crossing over in prophase I, segments of nonsister chromatids are exchanged.
MEIOSIS I AND II - after meiosis I and II, each of the resulting cells carries a unique combination of alleles
produces variation without crossing over
independent assortment… needs more than on pair of chromsomes… line up as homologous pairs in varies ways.
reduction divison
meiosis I…. Diploid to haploid
equational division
Meiosis II… haploid
prophase I
Leptotne zygotene pachytene... synaptonemal complex diplotene.. bivalent or tetrad, chiasmata diakinesis
leptotene
exteneded state, microscopically can’t be discerned as indviduals… thread like, very thin, each chormosome still two chromatids(replication has already occured)… start to condense…
zygotene
start ot pair up, homologous chromsomses pair(synapsis).. synaptonemal complex forms, results in bivalents(tetrads)
pachytene
thick… starting to condense.. shorter and thicker… crossing over begins
