5. Know where the major sources of genetic variability come from during meiosis
6. Know when the different phases occur in humans (females and males)
7. Know what can go wrong in meiosis

What is heredity?
The transmission of traits from one generation to the next
How are these traits passed on?
By offspring acquiring genes from parents by inheriting chromosomes
(SEXUAL REPRODUCTION)
Karyotype
Ordered display of an individual's chromosomes Homologous Chromosome
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
* A single individual passes along copies of all its genes to offspring via binary fission in prokaryotes

MITOSIS REVIEW QUESTIONS
1. What type of cells does mitosis occur in?2. How many times does DNA replicate in mitosis?3. How many cellular division(s) occur in mitosis?4. How many daughter cells are formed by mitosis?5. What is the chromosome number in daughter cells formed by mitosis from diploid parent cells?6. In mitosis, are daughter cells identical to or different from parent cells?
SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
Reproduction where two parents give rise to offspring that have unique combinations of genes inherited from the parental gametes
Gametes need 1) motility to be able to meet and unite and 2) food to nourish the developing embryo
Why Meiosis?
Reduces genetic information that is passed on to offspring; fertilization of sperm and ovum recombine genetic information to form new organism (zygote)=GENETIC VARIABILITY

Where does meiosis occur?
Only in Reproductive Organs:
Males-testes-sperm cell(s)
Females-ovaries-egg cell (ovum; ova)
Human gametes only have one set of chromosomes- 22 autosomes and an X (female) or an X or Y (male) sex chromosome= HAPLOID
REVIEW--HAPLOID/DIPLOID
1. If an organism has 2N=24 chromosomes is this the haploid or diploid number of chromosomes?
2. How many chromosomes will be found in a gamete produced by this organism?
3. How many chromosomes will be found in a zygote produced by this organism?
4. If the zygote of an organism has 12 chromosomes, N= __ chromosomes.
Life Cycle-Generation to generation sequence of stages on the reproductive history of an organism—from conception to production of own offspring
Gametophyte
Sporotophyte
SPOROPHYTE: DOMINANT: In ferns, rhizome with roots & leaves (fronds); sporangia in sori on the underside of fronds
Pteridophytes
GAMETOPHYTE: In ferns, INDEPENDENT, heart-shaped prothallus with antheridia and archegonia
Meiosis-Replicates once, divides twice (reduces amount of genetic material)
Interphase is an important stage preceding meiosis. Without this stage meiosis would not occur.
During this stage, each individual chromatid replicates, similar to mitosis.
Prophase I is one of the most important stages of meiosis.
1) DNA of the chromosomes begin to twist and condense, making the DNA visible to the microscope.
2) Each chromosome actively seeks out its homologous pair (which also has a sister chromatid).
Cells in Prophase I
At Metaphase I, the homologous pairs and their sister chromatids prepare for separation.
During metaphase, the chromosomes are lined by the spindle fibers at the metaphase plate.
Cell in Metaphase I
Anaphase I pulls apart the tetrad, separating each homologous chromosome.
It is by random chance that a certain chromosome is pulled to a certain pole.
Cell in Anaphase I
In Telophase I two nuclear envelopes begin to surround the separate chromosomes.
Interkinesis follows, which is a resting period from Telophase I to Prophase II. This differs from mitosis because DNA replication does not occur.
Cell in Telophase I
MAIN EVENTS OF MEIOSIS I
The number of chromosomes has been cut in half, HOMOLOGOUS CHROMOSOMES SEPARATE. End result is two haploid daughter cells.
During Prophase II, each dyad (1/2 a tetrad) is composed of a pair of sister chromatids connected by a centromere.
The centrosomes (replicated during Telophase I) produce the spindle fibers and start to move toward the poles of the cell.
Cells in Prophase II
Metaphase II is similar to Metaphase I in that the dyads (sister chromatids) are lined up at a metaphase plate by the spindle fibers.
Cells in Metaphase II
Anaphase II separates the dyads into individual chromatids. Each sister chromatid ends up on one side of the cell.
Cells in Anaphase II
In Telophase II, the nuclear envelopes forms around each set of DNA and the cytoplasm divides.
Four haploid cells have formed from one diploid cell. The chromosomal content is 1/2 the chromosomal content of a diploid cell.
Cells in Telophase II
MAIN EVENTS OF MEIOSIS II
Separate the sister chromatids of the replicated chromosomes.
End result is four haploid daughter cells. GAMETES in animals or SPORES in plants.

What is the chromosome number in daughter cells formed by meiosis from diploid parent cells?6. In meiosis, are daughter cells identical to or different from parent cells?
MECHANISMS FOR GENETIC VARIATION
1. Independent assortment.
2. Crossing over.
3. Random fertilization.
Independent assortment
Independent assortment
*Variation due to the random orientation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis I and nonidentical sister chromatids in meiosis II.# of possible combinations when chromosomes are independently assorted is 2n, where n=haploid #.
HOW MANY POSSIBLE COMBINATIONS FOR HUMANS??
2n,2(23 power)= ~8 MILLION
Crossing over
Occurs in Prophase I; homologous portions of two nonsister chromatids trade spaces.
Crossing over*Occurs in humans, 2-3 times per chromosome pair.
*Crossing over does not create new genes. It simply recombines existing genes in new ways.
Random fertilization
HOW MANY POSSIBLE COMBINATIONS FOR HUMANS??
2n,2(23 power)= ~8 MILLION in ovum2n,2(23 power)= ~8 MILLION in spermZygote composed of 1 in 70
trillion possible combinations
Crossing over and random fertilization add more diversity

END RESULT:
MALESSpermatogenesis-production of sperm
in testes, 100,000,000/hr/teste
puberty until death
4 haploid spermatids that will differentiate into 4 mature sperm cells
Spermatogenesis
Entire process takes ~74 days
FEMALES
WHAT:
WHERE:
WHEN:
Oogenesis-production of ova (eggs)
in ovaries
Initial steps occur PRIOR to birth. By week 25, cells develop into primary oocytes and begin meiosis until late prophase I and then STOP (~700,000-2 million).
FEMALES
WHEN: Oocytes recommence at puberty (~20-40,000 remain). Oocytes have been in prophase I for 12-40 years. During female lifetime ~480 may complete meiosis I (one/month). Meiosis II will NOT be completed unless fertilized by a sperm (cell cycle restarted by sperm).
END RESULT:MEIOSIS I: large secondary oocyte and small polar body; MEIOSIS II: ovum and three polar bodies
ERRORS IN MEIOSIS1. Non-disjunction-When
homologous chromosomes fail to separate or disjoin in Meiosis I. 25-50% of miscarriages result from zygotes with abnormal chromosome numbers. 1 in 118 newborns have chromosomal abnormalities.Aneuploidy-If effect is limited to one or a few chromosomes;
one more=TRISOMY,
one less=MONOSOMY
