Sexual Reproduction and Genetics

Sexual Reproduction and Genetics

- one member of a pair comes from each parent

I. MeiosisI. MeiosisA. Homologous Chromosomes:

- pairs of chromosomes that are very similar

B. Diploid:B. Diploid:- a full set of homologous

chromosomes (2n)- in humans: 46 (23 pairs)- in pea plants: 14 (7 pairs)

Human Chromosomes

(23 homologous pairs)

Human Chromosomes

(23 homologous pairs)

C. Haploid:C. Haploid:- a half set of chromosomes (1n)- occur in Gametes (specialized

reproductive cells: sperm and egg)

D.Process of Meiosis:D.Process of Meiosis:- specialized cell division in which the

chromosome number is cut in half- homologous pairs of chromosomes are

separated- produces haploid gametes- occurs in 2 stages:

1.Meiosis I:1.Meiosis I:a) similar to mitosis, but, during

metaphase, homologous chromosomes come together to form a tetrad

b) Crossing-over occurs: exchange of genes between homologous chromosomes

c) The homologous chromosomes separate during anaphase I.

c) 2 cells are produced that contain 1 replicated chromosome from each homologous pair.

Crossing-over in a tetrad of a grasshopper.

Each cross-over is called a chiasma. This example shows 5 chiasmata.

E. Importance of Meiosis:E. Importance of Meiosis:- provides genetic variation in the next

generation

1.1. Independent AssortmentIndependent Assortment- chromosomes randomly separate

during meiosis- results in gametes with different

combinations of chromosomes- for pea plants, 27 = 128 different

combinations

combinations of genes from any 2 parents

III. Principles of Heredity

III. Principles of Heredity

A.Concept of Unit

Characters:- traits are controlled by "factors" (genes) which occur in pairs- one from each parent

B. Principle of Dominance

and Recessiveness:

B. Principle of Dominance

and Recessiveness:- some alleles dominate, or mask, the

effect of other alleles- Allele: one of the "versions" of a gene

C.Law of Segregation:C.Law of Segregation:- during meiosis (production of

gametes), each pair of genes separate

that are identical- TT or tt

V. Gene Linkage and PolyploidyV. Gene Linkage and PolyploidyA. Gene Linkage

- Chromosomes contain thousands of genes.- Genes are physically linked together on a chromosome.- During crossing over this linkage can be broken temporarily.- Frequency of crossing over can be used to make chromosome maps.
