1
Reproduction and Meiosis
How organisms make new individuals
2
Asexual reproduction Requires 1 parent, no sexes Uses mitosis
3
Budding Multi-cellular offspring grows off of parent Ex. Hydra
4
Binary Fission A single cell Protista divides into two cells forming two new organisms by mitosis Ex. amoeba
5
Sexual Reproduction Requires 2 parents Uses a process called meiosis
Male produces sperm with half the DNA Female produces eggs with half the DNA Combined - Sperm and eggs come together to form new individual zygote with whole DNA
6
Fertilization The combining of the male sperm and the female egg
7
External fertilization
When the fertilization occurs outside of the body. Ex. Male fish releases sperm over female eggs in water – called spawning
8
Internal Fertilization
When fertilization occurs inside the females body Ex. Human, mammals, reptiles, birds
9
Plant reproduction Also sexual Male and female usually on same plant
Conifers have male and female cones
10
Gametes Male gamete – Sperm Millions produced at one time very small
have a flagella to swim Produced in Testes Female gamete – Egg Only one produced at a time Very large free moving Produced in Ovaries
11
Zygote When sperm and egg unite, they combine chromosomes for a zygote with 2 sets of chromosomes. The offspring has a combination of the genetic instructions from both parents
12
v Haploid = Each gamete has ½ the number of chromosomes of the parents. Diploid = two sets of chromosome. The normal number Egg and sperm form a diploid zygote
13
Chromosomes DNA wound up on histone proteins for sorting during mitosis
14
Karyotype A method of visually organizing an individuals chromosomes
Aids in identifying chromosome abnormalities
15
Autosomes All the Non sex chromosomes Humans have 22 autosomes pairs
16
Sex Chromosomes X and Y – Different, not homologous
Determine male or female Presence of a Y causes development as a male
17
Meiosis Meiosis is the process for the formation of Gametes
Meiosis is similar to mitosis but there is a second Complete division Occurs ONLY in sex organs
19
Gameteogenesis Formation of gametes by meiosis.
In male 4 sperm are produced, In female only 1 egg and 3 polar bodies are produced
20
Meiosis I First stage of meiosis
Homologous Chromosomes line up and go to separate cells. Chromatids do NOT split at Centromere
21
Meiosis II Immediately follows telophase I
NO new DNA replication occurs Each homologue splits at centromere, with only one chromatid to each cell
22
Prophase I Chromosomes appear, centrioles, spindle fibers etc
23
Tetrads The two sets of homologous chromosomes that organize together during prophase I Provides for crossing over and recombination between homologues
24
Crossing over Occurs during prophase I into metaphase
Homologous Chromosomes switch some pieces (Recombine) between different chromatids to increase genetic diversity Chisamata – where homologues connect and cross over
25
Metaphase I Chromosome Tetrads line up
NOTE - matching pairs line side by side (in mitosis, each chromosome is separate)
26
Anaphase I Chromosome PAIRS separate
(In mitosis each chromatid separates from sister)
27
Telophase I 2 cells separate following cytokinesis
Meiosis II IMMEDIATELY follows
28
Prophase II Each of the 2 cells prepares to divide again
29
Metaphase II Chromosomes line up along middle
30
Anaphase II Sister Chromatids separate
31
Telophase II Four haploid daughter cells are produced
Each daughter cell has half the number of chromosomes from the parent cell (haploid)
32
Interesting fact Because each of the 23 pairs of chromosomes can line up in two different ways one person can produce more than 8 million different kinds of eggs or sperm. When fertilization occurs, 70 trillion different zygotes are possible! You are 1 in 70 trillion
33
Meiosis overview
34
Comparison Mitosis Meiosis 1 2 cells 1 4 cells Diploid diploid
Goe through Once Homologues line up separately No crossing over Chromatids separate during anaphase Produces identical cells with full DNA Meiosis 1 4 cells Diploid haploid Goes through Twice Homologues line up together in tetrads Crossing over Chromatids do not separate during anaphase I, only anaphase II Produces gametes with half DNA
35
