Meiosis and genetic variation Meiosis KM

Reproduction Asexual Many single-celled organisms reproduce by splitting, budding, parthenogenesis. Some multicellular organisms can reproduce asexually, produce clones (offspring genetically identical to parent). Meiosis KM

The fusion of two gametes to produce a single zygote. Sexual reproduction The fusion of two gametes to produce a single zygote. This introduces greater genetic variation by allowing genetic recombination. With the exception of some self-fertilizing organisms (e.g. hermaphroditic worms), zygote has gametes from two parents. Meiosis KM

Chromosomes exist in homologous pairs in diploid cells. Homologues Chromosomes exist in homologous pairs in diploid cells. The exception is sex chromosomes (X, Y). All other chromosomes are known as autosomes - they have homologues. Meiosis KM

In humans … 23 chromosomes donated by each parent (total = 46 chromosomes / 23 pairs). Gametes (sperm/ova): Contain 22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome. Are haploid (“n” = 23 in humans). Fertilization results in a zygote with 2 haploid sets of chromosomes - now diploid. Cells are now diploid cell (“2n” = 46 in humans) All somatic cells are produced by mitosis. Only gametes are produced by meiosis. Meiosis KM

Chromosome numbers All are even numbers – diploid (2n) sets of homologous chromosomes! All even, as all are diploid, contain pairs of chromosomes. Ploidy = number of copies of each chromosome. Meiosis KM

Meiosis – key differences from mitosis Meiosis reduces the number of chromosomes by half. Daughter cells differ from parent, and each other. Meiosis involves two divisions, Mitosis only one. Meiosis I involves: Synapsis – homologous chromosomes pair up. In Metaphase I, homologous pairs line up at metaphase plate. In Anaphase I, sister chromatids do NOT separate. Overall, separation of homologous pairs of chromosomes, rather than sister chromatids of individual chromosome. Meiosis KM

Meiosis 1 First division of meiosis Prophase 1: Each chromosome dupicates and remains closely associated. These are called sister chromatids. Crossing-over can occur during the latter part of this stage. Metaphase 1: Homologous chromosomes align at the equatorial plate. Anaphase 1: Homologous pairs separate with sister chromatids remaining together. Telophase 1: Two daughter cells are formed with each daughter containing only one chromosome of the homologous pair. Meiosis KM

Meiosis II Second division of meiosis: Gamete formation Prophase 2: DNA does not replicate. Metaphase 2: Chromosomes align at the equatorial plate. Anaphase 2: Centromeres divide and sister chromatids migrate separately to each pole. Telophase 2: Cell division is complete. Four haploid daughter cells are obtained. Meiosis KM
