A
Meiosis
24
Q
What is Meiosis
A
process of cell division = 4 cells having half the number of chromosomes as the OG cell
25
If cell starts with 4 chromosomes meiosis will lead to
2 chromosomes in each four cells
26
What does the egg produced after meiosis do?
Egg from female combines with sperm from male
Chromosomes from each parents combine to create new offspring
27
What does the new offspring have?
Full set of chromosomes
28
Specialised reproductive organ known as?
Gonads
29
Gonads for female and male?
F: Ovaries
M: Testes
30

eg earthworm & garden snail
32
Simultaneous ( synchronous ) hermaphrodism
Both sperm-producing and egg- producing organs are presented in one organisms
33
Some fish species found in coral reefs change sex.
They are known as..
Sequential hermaphrodites
34
How many chromosomes does human have?
46 chromosomes
35
Haploid number
People have 46 chromosomes. Each gametes give 23 chromosomes.
n=23
36
What is meiosis the process of?
Producing haploid gametes from diploid germ cells

42
How many process of division in meiosis?
```
TWO SETS
prophase 1 & 2
metaphase 1 & 2
anaphase 1 & 2
telophase 1 & 2
```
43
purpose of meiosis
reduce the number of chromosomes by half and to create genetic diversity.
44
How is genetic diverse
homologous chromosome pairs line up and exchange pieces-a process called recombination
Recombination increases genetic diversity by putting pieces of slightly different chromosomes together.
45
What is stem cells?
Unspecialised cells
46
Two key qualities of stem cells?
1. Self Renewal ( They can continuously divide and replicate )
2. Potency ; They have the capacity to differentiate into specialised cell types
47
Two things stem cells can become
- More stem cells
| - Specialised cells
48
How are bone, nerve etc cells produced
Embryonic stem cells and adult somatic stem cell both cultured in a laboratory
49
Procedure of embryonic stem cells ( 1 of ingredient for other cells )
Stem cells removed from inner cell mass of blastocyst
50
Procedure of Adult (somatic ) stem cell ( 2 of ingredient for other cells )
Stem cells removed from umbilical-cord blood and bone marrow
51

Bone cell
Nerve cells
Skin cells
Blood cells
52
Four types of stem cells ( in order ) of human development

2. Pluripotent
3. Multipotent
4. Unipotent
53
Totipotent
Form any cell type
and extra embryonic tissue ( zygote)
54
Pluripotent
Form any cell type
Embryonic stem cell
55
Multipotent
Differentiate into a number of closely related cell type
haematopoeitic adult stem cell

Do not have a specific job or function
62
Regenerative medicine
Stem cell used to replace damaged bodily tissues
63
Why do scientists and doctors want to use stem cells?
To help understand how the body works.
See how stem cells develop into tissue to understand the process of how body uses to create new tissues in a controlled and regulated way.
64
What are three types of a stem cell?
- Embryonic stem cells
- Adult stem cell
Induced- pluripotent stem cell ( IPSCs )
65
What is the ethical controversy over using human embryonic stem cells for research?
People against embryonic stem cell research argue that using and destroying embryos shows a lack of respect for the value and dignity of life.
Adult stem cells = bette r as there's consent
66
How are most embryos obtained?
By using the unused embryos from IVF treatments.
67
What is the difference between a totipotent stem cell and a pluripotentstem cell?
totipotent = totally powerful
- become any cell
- in iso = become a human
-within four days of fertilisation = cell splits forming tissue of the fetus = no longer totipotent
now plluripotent = increeasingly loss their plasticity
68
What is the difference between a pluripotentstem cell and a multipotentstem cell?
less plastic == multipotent
- able to become small and limited selection of related cell types
- is able an adult stem cell
69
What does IPSCs stand for and what are they?
Induced - pluripotent Stem cells
are from specilaised adult somatic cells ( NOT GAMETES ) which are reprogammed to act like pluripotent embryonic stem cells.
70
Name two potential uses of using IPSCs?
- allow custom tailoring of stem cells therapies to individual patients
- benefit drug testing, thus testing on human tissues made from IPSCS IS GOOD alternative, accurate results = no animal harmed

96
Stages of both cycles
( Meisos 1 and Meisos 2 )
Prophase 1 and 2
Metaphase 1 and 2
Anaphase 1 and 2
Telophase 1 and 2
97
Process of meiosis ( before devision ) :
Duplicates its DNA before cell division begins ( prophase )
Each single strand of chromosomes become double stands of chromosomes
98
Prophase 1
- Chromosomes condense
- Join together in homologous pairs
- Each pair contains one chromo from father and one from mother - different copies of same genes
- Genes are swapped with each pair through process called "crossing over" = helps with genetic variation
Nucleus begins to break down
99
Metaphase 1
The pairs of chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
Fibres attach to the chromosomes to two bodies on opposite side of the cells
100
Anaphase 1
The fibres seperate the pairs by pulling them apart
101
Telophase 1
Two nuclei form and then the cell splits into two cells = each has 24 double stand of chromo
102
Meiosis (II)
Each cell will divide again to form FOUR cells with 23 single stranded chromosomes
103
Prophase (II)
NOW THEY ARE TWO DAUGHTER CELLS, with 23 chromosomes
Chromosomes condenses and nucleus breaks down.
104
Metaphase (II)
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
105
Anaphase (II)
Fibres pull single-stranded chromosomes apart
106
Telophase (II)
Neceuli form and finally cell divides
NOW HAS FOUR SEX CELLS
107
Info about the FOUR SEX CELLS PRODUCED BY MEISOS
genetically different to EACH OTHER and ORIGINAL cell
108

HAPLOIDS
110
IN MALE these four sex cells are

haploid= n
diploid = 2n
```
113
What type of cells does mitosis and meiosis happen in
Mitosis : Somatic cells
| Meiosis : Sex cells
114
Chromosomes in meiosis compare to mitosis
Meiosis : chromosomes number remains the same
Mitosis : chromosomes number is halved in each daughter cell
115
WHY IS STRAWBERRIES CAN BE A SEXUAL REPRODUCTIONS
Insect pollinators visit strawberry flowers. Pollen from one flower joins the egg of another to form seeds that cover the strawberry fruit.
116
How can trees be both s and as
rely on wind for pollination
new trees also sprout from roots
117
Which part of the cell determines what traits of the parents are passed to the offspring?
Chromosomes
118
What needs to happen to chromosomes, before meiosis can begin?
The chromosomes in the parent cell are copied
119
How does meiosis ensure that a child will have traits from both parents?
The sperm and egg combine to form offspring, each will contribute half the normal amount of chromosomes.
120

Two
121
What does each sex cell contain?

124

Mitosis: Diploid
| Meiosis : Hyploid
125

126
M and M
In what type of cells does the division occur?
Mitosis: Body Cell somatic cells
Meiosis: Reproductive cells
gametes
127
Purpose of crossing over
The crossing over recombines the homologous chromosomes so that the output cells or gametes will carry a different combination of genetic information from the input germ cell.
128
Define Fertilisation
It is the fusion of gametes to form a new organism of the same species.
129
Define Gamete
( egg + sperm ) Are haploid = they have a single set of DNA only.
130
Define Sperm
Male reproductive cell.
131
Define Ovum
A mature female reproductive cell, which can be divided to give rise to an embryo usually after fertilisation by a male cell.
132
Define Zygote
Starts dividing, the single cell becomes subdivided into smaller cells.
133
TWO TYPES OF fertilisation
Internal
| External
134
ADVANTAGES of External fertilisation
Little energy to mate
Large no. offsprings
Offspring spread widely = less competition
135
ADVANTAGES of INTERNAL fertilisation
- Egg is protected from dehydrated land
- The embryo is isolated within the female = limits predators
- Survival rate is higher
- Enhances fertilisation from males
136
DISADVANTAGES of External fertilisation
Many gametes go unfertilised
Offspring often do not protect their parents
137
DISADVANTAGES of INTERNAL fertilisation
Harder to bring both male and female into intimate contract.
Limited amount of offsprings being produced at any given time.
138
why external fertilisation is far more common in aquatic animals than in terrestrial animals.
sperm need a watery environment to swim to an egg, external fertilisation is limited to animals that either live in aquatic environments or reproduce in a watery environment.
139
two energy costs of sexual reproduction that are not present in asexual reproduction.
Internal fertilisation = FINDING, ATTRACTING, SECURING FEMALE MATE
External fertilisation = PRODUCING LARGE NO. OF GAMETES IN ORDER TO INCREASE THE CHANGE OF FERTILISATION
140
