Sperm and Egg Sperm trying to enter egg and leave packet of genetic information – i.e. chromosomes containing DNA. Sperm trying to enter egg and leave packet of genetic information – i.e. chromosomes containing DNA. Only one sperm will be successful Only one sperm will be successful For zygote to have same number chromosomes as parents, chromosome number must be halved when egg and sperm made For zygote to have same number chromosomes as parents, chromosome number must be halved when egg and sperm made Halving chromosome number done by MEIOSIS (produces haploid cells) Halving chromosome number done by MEIOSIS (produces haploid cells) Diploid number restored when sperm fertilizes egg Diploid number restored when sperm fertilizes egg

Meiosis and Genetic Variation Independent Assortment & Crossing Over Genetic Variation
21
Meiosis = rapid generation of new genetic combinations How genetic variation arises Independent Assortment Independent Assortment Independent Assortment Independent Assortment Crossing Over Crossing Over Crossing Over Crossing Over Random Fertilization – Random combination of 2 gametes Random Fertilization – Random combination of 2 gametes Why don’t they all look alike?
22
Why is Genetic Variation Important? Evolution! Evolution! Pace of evolution increases as genetic variation increases Pace of evolution increases as genetic variation increases Genetic recombination increases evolution Genetic recombination increases evolution 3 rd type is produced – not identical to either parent 3 rd type is produced – not identical to either parent Genetic variation can bring out good traits or not so successful traits Genetic variation can bring out good traits or not so successful traits

Gamete Formation Sperm production = spermatogenesis – meiosis results in production of 4 sperm Sperm production = spermatogenesis – meiosis results in production of 4 sperm Egg production = oogenesis – meiosis results in production of 1 egg cell and 3 polar bodies because cytoplasm divides unequally Egg production = oogenesis – meiosis results in production of 1 egg cell and 3 polar bodies because cytoplasm divides unequally Polar bodies die Polar bodies die Egg lives Egg lives Egg = Ovum Egg = Ovum

Modeling Crossing Over Each person in group needs 4 paper strips – 2 of one color, 2 of another color – taped together (loosely) to represent chromatids joined by centromeres 4 paper strips – 2 of one color, 2 of another color – taped together (loosely) to represent chromatids joined by centromeres Pen or pencil Pen or pencil Scissors Scissors Tape Tape A textbook (you should end up with 4 textbooks in a group) A textbook (you should end up with 4 textbooks in a group) Procedure On two strips of the same color, write “A”, “B”, and “C” – one of the two homologous chromosomes On two strips of the same color, write “A”, “B”, and “C” – one of the two homologous chromosomes On two strips of another color, write “a”,“b”, “c” this is another the two homologous chromosomes On two strips of another color, write “a”,“b”, “c” this is another the two homologous chromosomes Use scissors and tape to demonstrate crossing over between chromatids of homologous chromosomes Use scissors and tape to demonstrate crossing over between chromatids of homologous chromosomes

Modeling Crossing Over What do the letters “A”, “B” and “C” and “a”, “b”, and “c” represent? What do the letters “A”, “B” and “C” and “a”, “b”, and “c” represent? Why are the chromosomes you made homologous? Why are the chromosomes you made homologous? Compare the number of types of different chromatids (combinations of “A”, “B”, “C”, “a”, “b”, and “c”) before crossing over and after crossing over. Compare the number of types of different chromatids (combinations of “A”, “B”, “C”, “a”, “b”, and “c”) before crossing over and after crossing over. How does crossing over relate to genetic recombination? How does crossing over relate to genetic recombination? During what phase of meiosis does crossing over occur? During what phase of meiosis does crossing over occur?

Modeling Independent Assortment In your groups of 4, line up homologous pairs as the chromosomes would line up during Metaphase I. Do this on top of two textbooks In your groups of 4, line up homologous pairs as the chromosomes would line up during Metaphase I. Do this on top of two textbooks How many different arrangements can you make? How many different arrangements can you make? What will happen during Anaphase 1? Will the 2 cells which are the result of Meiosis one contain the same genetic information? What will happen during Anaphase 1? Will the 2 cells which are the result of Meiosis one contain the same genetic information? Pull books apart to represent cytokinesis Pull books apart to represent cytokinesis How does independent assortment relate to genetic recombination How does independent assortment relate to genetic recombination
27
Modeling Meiosis II You should now have 2 cells – each with 4 double chromosomes in them (there will be more or less chromosomes, depending on how many people are in your group) You should now have 2 cells – each with 4 double chromosomes in them (there will be more or less chromosomes, depending on how many people are in your group) Line up double chromosomes as in Metaphase II. Use another textbook to add to your “cytoplasm”. Line up double chromosomes as in Metaphase II. Use another textbook to add to your “cytoplasm”. Snip tape between the centromeres so that the single chromosomes can travel to opposite poles. Pull books apart to model cytokinesis Snip tape between the centromeres so that the single chromosomes can travel to opposite poles. Pull books apart to model cytokinesis Do the same thing with your second cell Do the same thing with your second cell How many cells do you have as a result of Meiosis? Compare the chromosomes of your gametes. What do you notice? How many cells do you have as a result of Meiosis? Compare the chromosomes of your gametes. What do you notice?
