Test 2-P11,P12,P13 Flashcards
Why is meiosis the gateway to genetic
Offspring resemble their parents more than they do unrelated individuals
Heredity
Heredity is the transmission of traits from one
generation to the next
Variation
- Variation is difference in genes (genotype) and expression (phenotype) among individuals in a population
Genetics
Genetics is the scientific study of heredity and
variation
Gamete
Sexual reproduction combines cells (gametes)
from 2 parents through fertilization
(Sperm and egg)
Sexual reproduction in Meosis
Sexual reproduction combines cells (gametes)
from 2 parents through fertilization
* By mixing chromosomes from two individuals
genetic diversity is increased
* This process differs from mitosis in which one cell
produces two genetically identical daughter cells
The whole point of meiosis is for variation
-half of your DNA from from sperm and half DNA comes from Egg but all mitorcondrial DNA from Mom because back of the sperm near the tail Sperm is cut off when they combine(sometime not true and rare disease associate with it)
genes
- Genes are the units of heredity and are made
up of segments of DNA - Genes are passed to the next generation via
reproductive cells called gametes (sperm and
eggs) - Most DNA is packaged into chromosomes
Somatic cell
Humans have 46 chromosomes in the nuclei
of their somatic cells, all cells of the body
except gametes and their precursors
Locus
A gene’s specific position along a chromosome
is called its locus
Diploid, Hapliad, and reduction division
Most plants and animals have two sets of
chromosomes: one set from each parent
– That means they are diploid (2n)
* Reduction of chromosomes is necessary to avoid
doubling in every generation
* Reproductive structures that produce gametes or
spores have cells with a single set of chromosomes
(haploid cells (1n))
-just makes sex cells
Reduction division
1.Sperm and egg are haploaid-half of DNA-reduction divsion
2. Make 1 diploid cell which is you
3.
Meiosis reduces the number of chromosomes by ½ toproduce haploid (1n) cells
-to get to half a much DNA in eahc cell you have to go through 2 round meiosis 1 and 2
n meiosis, you want ½ the genetic material (start with 1
cell and X chromosomes/cell, end with 4 cells and ½ X
chromosomes/cell)
- Meiosis generates variation
- Through independent assortment of chromosomes
- Through crossing over
What happens in meiosis 1
Meiosis is preceded by normal interphase (G1, S, G2)
* Chromosome replication in S phase makes identical sister chromatids
* Sister chromatids remain attached at the centromere
Structure of Chrosmone in Meiosis 1 in prophase/ Crossing over
Homologous chromosomes pair
and the synaptonemal complex
holds them close together in
synapsis
* Segments of chromosomes can
be exchanged through crossing
over
* Visible structures at cross over
points are called chiasmata
(plural, singular= chiasma)
* The four chromatids held
together by chiasmata(where they cross over) are called
a tetrad
- Chromosomes from mom and dad are on top of each other and physical connect by protein and they swap out parts of their chromosomes(go away with a new arm)(happen thre times per chromosome).After this your chromosomes is new with different genes in it-called recombant chromosomes
-can have mutiple Chiasma
Meiosis 1 Detailed
1 cells to 2 cells
Diploid to haploid
Starts with chrosmones and end up with half of those chromosomes
Meiosis 2 Detailed
2 cells to 4 cells
At the end you have half as many chromsomes then the 2 cells
Prometaphase and Anaphase meiosis 1
-Prometa(Homogeneous pair help by Chiasma and microtubes attach to fuse kinetochores of sister Chromatids)
-Anaphase (Homogoueus pairs pulled apart by microtubes attach to fuse kinetochores but of sister Chromatids held together by centromere
-Chromsome are different when go into Anaphase
Prometaphase and Anaphase meiosis 2
-Prometa(sister Chromatids held by centromere and microtubes attach to fuse
indivudual kinetochores )
-Anaphase Sister chromatids pulled apart by microtubes attach to fuse kinetochores
Tetrad Complex-Bivalent
Crossing over happen at the chiasma and the chromosomes exchange DNA and comes apart in anaphase one and are different then when they came in
Promphase 1-where all the crossing over happen
Metaphase 1-Chrosmones still on top of each other
Anaphase-Seperate and have 2 Chrmotid per chromsomes
Why Crossling over is important
Crossing over can unlink
linked genes, thus
increasing variation in a
population.
Typically genes that are
linked are physically close
to each other on a
chromosome
Some Gene associate with each other because they are on the same chromosomes (likely Brown hair and Brown eyes)
Crossing over switch up the package(Blue eyes and brown hair instead of ginger hair), it break gene linage
-Brown ahir and brown eye close to each other the chromosome because in order to break that linkage you dont needs as much realastate to make a break
-Strong gene linkage is an inducators of how close they are on the chromosome
What are the sources of variation that comes in meiosis
crossing over-Chrosome don’t look the same after crossing over(can get gamates that neither parent but is a combo)
independent assortment-right or left(8 million combinates) variation of gametes
random fertilization-which sperm with which egg(8 million sperm)
indepdent assortment
Meiosis also creates variation through independent assortment of gametes and happen in metaphase 1 and metaphase 2
Metapahse one:During metaphase, you can line up to see what wall of the cell you are facing
Metaphase two-During metaphase, you can line up to see what wall of the cell the chromatid is facing are facing
(if they line up on the right, everyone on the right is in your cell)
Draw Independent Assortment
Draw
random fertilization
Sperm Fertilizes an egg creating a zygote and the random nature of which egg with which sperm creates variation
-Parent can make genetically differnet gamates
-can produce off spring genetically greater than the number of humans on earth
Meosis Handout
Meisos 1
-S phase: 1 chromtid to 2 chromatids
Prophase:Crossing over 4 Chromatids-2 chromsones crossing over
Metaphase-Bivalent and line up int the middle of the phase-right or left side is important for indepsedent assortment
Anaphase-tetrad is broken and pulled to this each side of teh cell
telephase- nucleus form around chosmones
(you are haploid by the ned of this)
cytokensis-breakt he cell apart
Meosis 2
Promphase-nuclear enevlope diappear
metpahse- line up in the middle of the cell-indepdent assortment
Anaphase-2 Chromatid to 1 chromatid per chrosomes and is happing in 2 cells at the same time
Telaphase-Know you have four cells and haploid(product of crossing over and intendent assortment)
Combine with egg or sperm cell for variation-haploid until fertilization happen
-Human female don’t finish meiosis until after fertilization
