What do these pictures show?
Measure your partner’s ear length Are every bodies ear length the same? Why not? Genetic variation
1) Genetic Variation Meiosis: crossing over independent assortment Variation between organisms due to: Meiosis: crossing over independent assortment Fertilization
2) Meiosis Review DNA replicates Prophase I: synapsis & crossing over 1st Division – 2 cells 2nd Division – 4 haploid cells
3) Crossing Over During meiosis I (prophase I) homologous pairs synapse (line up) and an exchange of genes occurs
4) Genetic Recombination During Crossing Over, genes change their location on chromosomes. This change increases genetic variation and leads to offspring with different appearances.
5) Independent Assortment During meiosis, the homologous pairs line up and separate randomly (matter of chance). In other words, the chromosomes separate randomly into gametes.
6) What is the result of independent assortment? Different combinations of genes in gametes
7) Fertilization During fertilization a mother’s genes (egg) and a father’s genes (sperm) combine. This combination of genes results in Genetic Recombination.
