5. Animal Life Cycle multicelled body gametes zygote meiosisfertilization mitosis Diploid Haploid

6. Asexual Reproduction Single parent produces offspring All offspring are genetically identical to one another and to parent

7. Sexual Reproduction Involves: – Meiosis – Gamete production – Fertilization Produces genetic variation among offspring

8. Fig. 9-3, p.140

9. Homologous Chromosomes Carry Different Alleles Cell has two of each chromosome One chromosome in each pair from mother, other from father Paternal and maternal chromosomes carry different alleles

10. Fig. 9-2, p.140

11. Mitosis Functions – Asexual reproduction – Growth, repair Occurs in somatic cells Produces clones Mitosis & Meiosis Compared Meiosis Function – Sexual reproduction Occurs in germ cells Produces variable offspring

12. Results of Mitosis and Meiosis Mitosis – Two diploid cells produced – Each identical to parent Meiosis – Four haploid cells produced – Differ from parent and one another

14. Stages of Meiosis Meiosis I Prophase I Metaphase I Anaphase I Telophase I Meiosis II Prophase II Metaphase II Anaphase II Telophase II

15. p.141b

16. Meiosis I Each homologue in the cell pairs with its partner, then the partners separate

17. Meiosis II The two sister chromatids of each duplicated chromosome are separated from each other one chromosome (duplicated) two chromosomes (unduplicated)

Homologues separate from their partner. Homologous pairs align randomly. four nuclei (4n) Sister chromatids of chromo-somes seperate. Chromosomes align at spindle equator. Fig. 9-11b, p.148

21. a Both chromosomes shown here were duplicated during interphase, before meiosis. When prophase I is under way, sister chromatids of each chromosome are positioned so close together that they look like a single thread. Fig. 9-6a, p.144

22. b Each chromosome becomes zippered to its homologue, so all four chromatids are tightly aligned. If the two sex chromosomes have different forms, such as X paired with Y, they still get zippered together, but only in a tiny region at their ends. Fig. 9-6b, p.144

23. Sexual Reproduction Shuffles Alleles Through sexual reproduction, offspring inherit new combinations of alleles, which leads to variations in traits This variation in traits is the basis for evolutionary change

24. Crossing Over Each chromosome becomes zippered to its homologue All four chromatids are closely aligned Non-sister chromosomes exchange segments

25. c We show the pair of chromosomes as if they already condensed only to give you an idea of what goes on. They really are in a tightly aligned, threadlike form during prophase I. d The intimate contact encourages one crossover (and usually more) to happen at various intervals along the length of nonsister chromatids. e Nonsister chromatids exchange segments at the crossover sites. They continue to condense into thicker, rodlike forms. By the start of metaphase I, they will be unzippered from each other. f Crossing over breaks up old combinations of alleles and puts new ones together in the cell’s pairs of homologous chromosomes. Fig. 9-6c, p.144

26. Effect of Crossing Over After crossing over, each chromosome contains both maternal and paternal segments Creates new allele combinations in offspring

27. 123 combinations possible or Alignment at metaphase I Fig. 9-7, p.145

29. Oogenesis Growth Mitosis I, Cytoplasmic division Meiosis II, Cytoplasmic division ovum (haploid) primary oocyte (diploid) oogonium (diploid reproductive cell) secondary oocyte (haploid) first polar body (haploid) three polar bodies (haploid)
