Without Sex by single-celled or mulitcellular organisms. the offspring are genetic replicas of the parent
|
Asexual Reproduction
|
|
With Sex by multicellualar organismas. requires fertilizatino of an egg by a sperm
|
Sexual Reproduction
|
|
What makes up chromosomes?
|
DNA & Histone Proteins
|
|
the DNA and protein molecul;es that make up a chromosome
|
Chromatin
|
|
The region where the two chromatids are joined together
|
Centromere
|
|
the two copies of a chromosome that contain identical genes
|
Sister Chromatids
|
|
Microtubules that begin to appear during prophase
|
Spindle Fibers
|
|
the process in which the cytoplasm splits after a clevage furrow and two daughter cells form
|
Cytokenisis
|
|
The maternal and paternal chromosome pair
|
Homolog
|
|
the 2 homologous chromosomes that cross over and line up during prophase
|
Tetrads
|
|
the diploid result of fertilzation
|
Zygote
|
|
fusion of gametes
|
Fertilization
|
|
these are haploid (1n), produced in germ tissue (gonads) via meiosis
|
Gametes
|
|
(2n) humans have 46 chromosomes (23 homologous pairs) body cells
|
Diploid
|
|
(1n) sperm and egg cells
|
Haploid
|
|
tetrads separate and chromosomes move to seperate poles during anaphase
|
Disjunction
|
|
a standardized arrangement of a cell showing the pairs within them
|
Karyotype
|
|
a non dividing phase, chromosomes appear as chromatin, chromosome duplication occurs
|
Interphase
|
|
chromatin become visible short chromosomes, centrosomes/centrioles begin moving towards opposite Ends of the nucleus, spindle fibers(microtubules) begin to appear, nuclear envelope disappears
|
Prophase
|
|
chromosomes align along equator of spindle apparatus, spindle fibers attached to the centromere of each Chromosome
|
Metaphase
|
|
centromeres of each chromosome divide and chromatids now separate, sister chromatids become Daughter chromosomes, spindle fibers begin to move daughter chromosomes towards opposite poles
|
Anaphase
|
|
nuclear envelope reappears around two new daughter nuclei, chromosomes revert to the diffuse Chromatin condition, cytokinesis occurs
|
Telophase
|
|
What is the end product of mitosis?
|
2 haploid daughter cells identical to mother and to each other, 1 division
|
|
What is the end productin of meiosis?
|
4 haploid daughter cells, 2 divisions, it has gametes
|
|
What are three types of asexual reproduction?
|
Binary fission- ex. amoebas
Budding- ex. Yeast Vegetative reproduction- ex. Strawberries, Bermuda grass, ferns |
|
chromosomes line up with homologs to form tetrads, crossing over occurs between chromatids Of homologous chromosomes, crossing over means chromosomes are different from parent cell’s
|
Prophase I
|
|
tetrads align along equator of the cell, spindle fibers attached to centromeres of chromosomes
|
Metaphase I
|
|
disjunction- tetrads separate and chromosomes move to opposite poles, here is where the Number of chromosomes are reduced
|
Anaphase I
|
|
2 haploid nuclei undergo mitosis to produce 4 haploid daughter cells
|
Meiosis II
|
|
occurs in cells of the ovary- oocytes, 4 haploid daughter cell produced, 1 daughter cell develops in a Gamete called ovum (egg), and other 3 become small nonfunctional polar bodies
|
Oogenesis
|
|
occurs in testes cells- spermatocytes, 4 haploid daughter cells produces, daughter cells develop into mobile gametes called spermatozoa
|
Spermatogensis
|
|
What is the importance of meiosis?
|
keeps diploid number constant b/c of haploid gametes -a source of genetic variation
|
|
zygote has an additional chromosome for a homologous pair (2n+1)
|
trisomy
|
|
zygote is missing 1 chromosome of a homologous pair (2n-1)
|
monosomy
|
|
What process produces a trisomy or a monosomy and what is it?
|
Non-disjunction: abnormal separation of chromosomes during meiosis, occurs during anaphase I or II
|
|
Trisomy 21, extra 21st chromosome, most common serious birth defect in US (1 in 700), related to age of Mother, characteristics- mental retardation, heart defects leukemia, short stature, etc.
|
Down's Syndrome
|
