CU intro to bio: lecture 15

QuestionAnswer
In asexual reproduction, the parent passes an exact copy of all if his/her genes (e.g. both pairs of the homologous pair) to the offspring
In Asexual reproduction what will the offspring look like? .Therefore the offspring will be a genetically identical clone of that parent.nes
In sexual reproduction, each parent passes on only 1 chromosome of each homologous pairs of chromosomes on to the offspring.
How many genes does will will the offspring aquire from one parent in sexual reproduction? Therefore the offspring will acquire only 1 rather than 2 genes for each trait from a particular parent. (The other parent supplies the other gene.)
alleles Genes for each trait come in slightly different forms.
Meiosis shuffles the alleles during gamete formations resulting in what? and fertilization produces offspring with unique combinations of alleles
Meiosis begins with diploid (2n) germ cells and produces haploid (n) gametes.
Homologous chromosomes In 2n cells, there are two chromosomes of each type,
What happens to homologous chromosomes during meiosis? Homologous chromosomes partner up during meiosis.
What type of cell doe Meiosis produce? Each of the gametes produced by meiosis receives only one chromosome from the homologous pair; gametes are therefore haploid cells
How does meiosis resemble mitosis? The chromosomes are duplicated during the S phase of interphase to form sister chromotids held together at the centromere. Chromosomes are moved by the microtubules of the spindle apparatus
What is the major difference between mitosis and meiosis? Unlike mitosis, meiosis has two series of divisions - meiosis I and II.
Meiosis I: Homologous chromomsomes partner together adn then separate. This is followed by cytoplasmic division and results in two daughter cells.
What is the result of Meiosis 1: Are they Haploid or diploid? Two daughter cells. Each of the two daughter cells receives one set of chromosomes in the duplicated state. Therefore, each daughter cell is haploid (n)
ToF: During Meiosis 1 the homologous pairs stay together and the sister chromatids separate. FALSE: during meiosis I, homologous pairs separate, but the sister chromatids are still together (ie, each chromosome is still in its duplicated form.)....
What is Synapse homologous chromosomes partner together.
Meiosis II: the sister chromatids separate, the cytoplasm divides again, and the result is four haploid cells from the original germ cell.
What is the bottom line of Meiosis? Bottom Line: Meiosis I -separates homologues; Meiosis II - separates sisters
Prophase I: synapses happens: crossing over happens
Chiasmata: thought to be the point where two homologous non-sister chromatids exchange genetic material during chromosomal crossover during meiosis
Metaphase I: The homologous chromosomes line up at the spindle equator in a random order.
Anaphase I: Homologous chromosomes (still duplicated) separate into two haploid cells each of which has a random mix of maternal and paternal chromosomes.
Telophase I: The phase during which the chromosomes have arrived at opposite poles, and two haploid cells have formed. Total # of chromosomes per human cell is 23, each still joined to its sister chromatid.
Cytokinesis (happens between meiosis 1 and meiosis 2). the cytoplasm divides at this point.
Prophase II: (Chromosomes are likely still condensed, if not, the recondense here), and bipolar spindle forms
Metaphase II: Duplicated chromosomes line up single file at the equator in metaphase II
Anaphase II: Chromatids separate and are pulled toward opposite poles.
Telophase II The nucleus reorganizes as new nuclear envelopes enclose each cluster of chromosomes. Chromosomes decondense back to chromatin.
Cytokinesis: (after meiosis 1 and 2) after this second cytoplasmic division, each of the resulting daughter cells has a haploid number of unduplicated chromosomes.
Crossing over in prophase I: When chromosomes synapse, non-sister chromatids of homologous pairs exchange segments in a process called crossing over
Segregation of chromosomes into Gametes - When homologous pairs line up at the spindle equator and then separate into two haploid cells, each of new gamete has a random mix of maternal and paternal chromosomes.
ToF: every time a human sperm or egg forms, there are 8,388,608 (2^23) possible combinations of chromosomes.t true
Gamete formation in plants: Sporophytes produce haploid spores by meiosis: spore-mitosis->haploid gametophyte. Gametophytes produce gamets.
what happens when plants fertilize gametes???? Fertilization (the joining of a male and female gamete) results in a diploid zygote. In plants, zygotes undergo mitosis to produce diploid sporophytes
gametogenisis is the development of (diploid) germ cells into (haploid) gametes, either eggs or sperm, via meiosis. Gametogenesis can more specifically be called either oogenesis (egg formation) or spermatogenesis (sperm formation).
spermatogenesis A germ cell going through "this" = primary spermatocyte(2n): Primary spermatocytes - meiosis I -> secondary spermatocytes (n)- meiosis II -> spermatids (n). Spermatids change in form and develop a tail to become mature sperm
Oogenisis - A germ cell going through "this" = primary oocyte (2n): primary oocyte(2n)-Meiosis I -> secondary oocyte (n) and one polar body (n)-Meiosis II -> ovum (n) and three polar bodies (n)
the variation present at Fertalization is from what? crossing over random alignments at metaphase I (leading to millions of combinations of maternal and paternal chromosomes in each gamete) the randomness of which gametes meet during fertilization.
