10.1 Meiosis
Chromosomes and Chromosome Number *Human body cells have 46 chromosomes *Each parent contributes 23 chromosomes *Homologous chromosomes—one of two paired chromosomes, one from each parent
10.1 Meiosis
Chromosomes and Chromosome Number
Homologous
Chromosomes Are:
1. Same length
2. Same centromere
position
3. Carry genes for the
same traits
10.1 Meiosis
Haploid and Diploid Cells
*An organism produces gametes to maintain the same number of chromosomes from generation to generation.
*Human gametes contain 23 chromosomes. *A cell with n chromosomes is called a haploid cell. *A cell that contains 2n chromosomes is called a
diploid cell.
10.1 Meiosis Meiosis
*The sexual life cycle in animals involves meiosis. *Meiosis produces gametes. *When gametes combine in fertilization, the number of chromosomes is restored. *Involves two
consecutive cell
divisions called meiosis I and meiosis II
10.1 Meiosis
Stages ofMeiosisI
*The job of meiosis I is to reduce the
chromosome number by half through the separation of homologous chromosomes
Interphase
10.1 Meiosis Prophase I
*Pairing of homologous chromosomes occurs. *Each chromosome consists of two chromatids.
*The nuclear envelope breaks down.
*Spindles form.
10.1 Meiosis
Prophase I
*Crossing over produces exchange of genetic information. *Crossing over—chromosomal segments are exchanged
between a pair of homologous chromosomes.
10.1 Meiosis Metaphase I
*Chromosome centromeres attach to spindle fibers.
*Homologous chromosomes line up at the equator.
10.1 Meiosis
*Homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles of the cell.
Anaphase I
10.1 Meiosis
Telophase I
*The spindles break down.
*Chromosomes uncoil and form two nuclei. *The cell divides.
10.1 Meiosis
Meiosis II
Prophase II
10.1 Meiosis Meiosis II Metaphase II
*A haploid number of chromosomes line up at the equator.
10.1 Meiosis
Meiosis II Anaphase II
*The sister chromatids are pulled apart at the centromere by spindle fibers and move toward the opposite poles of the cell.
10.1 Meiosis Meiosis II Telophase II
*The chromosomes reach the poles, and the nuclear membrane and nuclei reform.
10.1 Meiosis Meiosis II
*Cytokinesis results in four haploid cells, each with n number of chromosomes.

10.1 Meiosis
The Importance of Meiosis
*Meiosis consists of two sets of divisions
*Produces four haploid daughter cells that are not identical
*Results in genetic variation
10.1 Meiosis
Meiosis Provides Variation
10.1 Meiosis
Sexual Reproduction v. Asexual Reproduction
Asexual reproduction
*The organism inherits all of its chromosomes from a single parent.
*The new individual is genetically identical to its parent.
Sexual reproduction
*Beneficial genes multiply faster over time.

10.2 Mendelian Genetics How Genetics Began
*The passing of traits to the next generation is called inheritance, or heredity.
*Mendel performed cross-pollination in pea plants.
*Mendel followed various traits in the pea plants he bred. Including: pea color, pea texture, plant height
*He chose these traits because they were an either/or trait.
Ex: The pea color was either green or yellow. There were no other colors possible.
10.2 Mendelian Genetics
*Mendal's first cross was between a yellow pea colored plant and a green colored pea plant *P = Parental generation
*Pure-breeding = always has the same colored offspring
10.2 Mendelian Genetics
*Mendel decided that there were two factors (also called alleles) that determined pea color *Since the yellow peas were the only ones in the F1 generation he called this the dominant trait
*Always a capitol letter
*Since the green peas were not present in the F1 generation he called it the recessive trait
*Always a lowercase letter
*Homozygous = Two of the SAME alleles for a trait
*Heterozygous = Two DIFFERENT alleles for a trait
*Also called hybrids
10.2 Mendelian Genetics
*Genotype = the allele pairs of a specific trait *Represented by letters
10.2 Mendelian Genetics
So what was happening to the genes so that Mendel saw the 3:1 ratio in is F2 generation?

10.2 Mendelian Genetics
Dihybrid Cross - Mendel then allowed the F1 Yellow Round plants to self-fertilize

Lets practice making gametes from a dihybrid cross. How many gametes can you make and what are they?

*This is called the law of independent assortment *There is a random distribution of alleles during gamete formation (meiosis)
10.2 Mendelian Genetics
Probability
*Genes can be compared to flipping a coin. Heads means you get one allele and tails means you get the other allele
*How do you figure out the probability of flipping a coin 5 times and getting heads ALL 5 times?

10.3 Gene Linkage and Polyploidy
*Genetic Recombination = new combinations of genes produced by crossing over and
independent assortment
10.3 Gene Linkage and Polyploidy
Gene Linkage
*Mendel didn't use any traits that were linked *Recall that crossing over will mix genes *The closer the genes are to each other on a chromosome, the more likely it is that they will cross over together
10.3 Gene Linkage and Polyploidy
Chromosome Maps
*Using data that tells how often genes cross over with each other, you can make a chromosome map
*The higher the crossover frequency, the farther apart the genes are
10.3 Gene Linkage and Polyploidy
*Prepare a chromosome map from the
following data set; D-F 15%, G-D 2%,
E-G 8%, E-D 10%, G - F 17%,
E - F 25%
10.3 Gene Linkage and Polyploidy
*Polyploidy = the occurrence of one or more extra sets of chromosomes (not 2n!)
*Deadly in animals but very common in plants
*Wheat and oats are 6n! *Sugar cane is 8n! *Triploidy = 3n
