Bell Ringer Monday October 24, 2016 Copy and answer the following: Describe the cells formed at the end of the cell cycle. How do you think the formation of sex cells differs from the formation of body cells?

Reduction-Division Genetic Recombination MEIOSIS Reduction-Division Genetic Recombination

Meiosis The form of cell division by which GAMETES, with HALF the number of CHROMOSOMES, are produced. DIPLOID (2n)  HAPLOID (n) Meiosis is SEXUAL reproduction. TWO divisions (MEIOSIS I and MEIOSIS II).

Meiosis Sex cells divide to produce GAMETES (sperm or egg). Gametes have HALF the # of chromosomes. Occurs only in GONADS (testes or ovaries). Male: SPERMATOGENESIS -sperm Female: OOGENESIS - egg or ova

Spermatogenesis n=23 n=46 2n=46 sperm haploid (n) Meiosis II human sex cell diploid (2n) n=46 Meiosis I

Oogenesis n=23 n=46 2n=46 Haploid (1n) human egg sex cell Meiosis II 2n=46 human sex cell diploid (2n) n=46 Meiosis I Polar Bodies (die)

Interphase I Similar to mitosis interphase. CHROMOSOMES (DNA) replicate in the S phase Each duplicated chromosome consist of two identical SISTER CHROMATIDS attached at their CENTROMERES. CENTRIOLE pairs also replicate.

Interphase I Nucleus and nucleolus visible. Nucleus chromatin cell membrane nucleolus

Meiosis I (four phases) Cell division that reduces the chromosome number by one- half. Four phases: a. Prophase I b. Metaphase I c. Anaphase I d. Telophase I Prophase I

Prophase I Longest and most complex phase (90%). Chromosomes condense. Synapsis occurs - Homologous chromosomes come together to form a tetrad. Tetrad is two chromosomes or four chromatids (sister and non-sister chromatids).

Non-Sister Chromatids-HOMOLOGS Homologs contain DNA that codes for the same genes , but different versions of those genes Genes occur at the same loci

Prophase I - Synapsis Homologous chromosomes sister chromatids Tetrad

Homologous Chromosomes Pair of chromosomes (maternal and paternal) that are similar in shape and size. Homologous pairs (tetrads) carry GENES controlling the SAME inherited traits. Each locus (position of a gene) is in the same position on homologues. Humans have 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes: a. First 22 pairs of autosomes b. Last pair of sex chromosomes LOCI

Homologous Chromosomes eye color locus hair color Paternal Maternal

Crossing Over Crossing over may occur between non-sister chromatids at sites called chiasmata. Crossing over: segments of nonsister chromatids break and reattach to the other chromatid. Chiasmata (chiasma) are where chromosomes touch each other and exchange genes (crossing over.) Causes Genetic Recombination

Genetic Recombination Tetrad nonsister chromatids chiasmata: site of crossing over variation

Crossing Over Lab

Tuesday October 25, 2016 Bell Ringer Copy and answer the following: Sketch a pair of homologous chromosomes. What happens during crossing over? When does crossing over happen?

Crossing Over Lab B b C c D d E e F f G g DATA TABLE # of times "a" is on the same chromosome as: % of times "a" is on the same chromosome as: B b C c D d E e F f G g

Sex Chromosomes XX chromosome - female XY chromosome - male

MEIOSIS I Meiosis I Homologs separate

Prophase I Nucleus & Nucleolus disappear Spindle forms Chromosomes coil & Synapsis (pairing) occurs Tetrads form & Crossing over Occurs centrioles spindle fiber aster fibers TETRAD

Metaphase I Shortest phase Tetrads align on the equator. Independent assortment occurs – chromosomes separate randomly causing GENETIC RECOMBINATION

Homologs line up at equator or metaphase plate Metaphase I Homologs line up at equator or metaphase plate OR

Anaphase I Homologous chromosomes separate and move towards the poles. Sister chromatids remain attached at their centromeres.

Anaphase I Homologs separate

Telophase I Each pole now has diploid (2n) set of chromosomes. Cytokinesis occurs and two diploid daughter cells are formed.

Telophase I cytokinesis

Wednesday march 23, 2016 Bell Ringer Answer the following: Calculate how many chromosomes a person would have if he or she were the fifth generation, his or her great-grandfather (first generation) had 46 chromosomes, and the chromosome number doubled every generation. Based on the above calculation, what is the importance of meiosis?

Sister Chromatids Separate MEIOSIS II Sister Chromatids Separate Meiosis II

Meiosis II No Interphase II or very short No DNA Replication Remember: Meiosis II is similar to mitosis

Prophase II Same as Prophase in mitosis Nucleus & nucleolus disappear Chromosomes condense Spindle forms

Metaphase II Same as Metaphase in mitosis Chromosomes (not homologs) line up at equator

Anaphase II Same as Anaphase in mitosis SISTER CHROMATIDS separate

1n Sperm cell fertilizes 1n egg to form 2n zygote Telophase II Same as Telophase in mitosis. Nuclei and Nucleoli reform, spindle disappears CYTOKINESIS occurs. Remember: FOUR HAPLOID DAUGHTER cells are produced. Called GAMETES (eggs and sperm) 1n Sperm cell fertilizes 1n egg to form 2n zygote

Telophase II

Variation Also known as GENETIC RECOMBINATION Important to population as the raw material for NATURAL SELECTION. All organisms are NOT alike Strongest “most fit” survive to reproduce & pass on traits

Question: What are the 3 sources of genetic recombination or variation?

Answer: CROSSING OVER (prophase I) INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT (metaphase I) RANDOM FERTILIZATION

Question: A cell containing 20 chromosomes (diploid) at the beginning of meiosis would, at its completion, produce cells containing how many chromosomes?

Answer: 10 chromosomes (haploid or 1n)

Thursday March 24, 2016 Bell Ringer Copy and answer the following: What are the four stages of mitosis? What are the eight stages of meiosis? Of mitosis and meiosis, which one produces greater genetic diversity?

Karyotype An organized picture of the chromosomes of a human arranged in pairs by size from largest to smallest. Pairs 1-22 called AUTOSOMES Last pair are SEX CHROMOSOMES Male - XY

Karyotype Female - XX

Karyotype Down Syndrome – Trisomy 21 Female - XX

Fertilization The fusion of a sperm and egg to form a zygote. A zygote is a FERTILIZED EGG n=23 egg sperm n=23 2n=46 zygote

Question: A cell containing 40 chromatids at the beginning of meiosis would, at its completion, produce cells containing how many chromosomes? 10 Chromosomes

Friday March 25, 2016 Bell Ringer Copy and answer the following: True or False: Haploid gametes are produced through meiosis. Genetic variation is decreased through crossing-over. Oogenesis produces egg cells. Division of cell cytoplasm is called interkinesis.

Monday March 28, 2016 Bell Ringer Copy and answer the following: A cell from a body cell of an animal has 58 chromosomes. What is the animal’s haploid number? Why is crossing over an important part of the process of meiosis?
