Presentation Transcript

  1. Meiosis

  2. Review • Put the above steps in order with the NUMBER and NAME of each step. • What is the name of this cell division? • What type of reproduction is this? • How many daughter cells are produced? • How many cell divisions occur? 2 3 1 5 4

  3. Important Vocabulary • Chromosomes: tightly coiled DNA in nucleus • Genes: Sections of chromosomes (DNA) that code for a specific protein which determines a specific trait

  4. Homologous Chomosomes • Homologous: same • Homologous chromosomes: Chromosomes of the same length with the same gene types, but 1 is from the mother and 1 is from the father • Humans have 23 homologous chromosome pairs

  5. Think about it… • What would happen if your Mom and Dad gave you a full set of 46 chromosomes? • Are you made from sexual or asexual reproduction? • How many chromosomes are you getting from your Mom? Dad?

  6. Haploid • Haploid: 1 set of chromosomes from one parent • Represented by the letter “n” • “n” for humans = 23 chromosomes • We have 46 total and half come from each parent • We have a haploid number of chromosomes in egg and sperm cells • MEMORY TRICK: Haploid = HALF • Example: If an alligator has 50 total chromosomes, what is the HAPLOID number?

  7. Diploid • Diploid: 2 set of chromosomes, one set from each parent • Represented by the letter “2n” • “2n” for humans = 46 chromosomes • We have 46 total chromosomes in our SOMATIC (body cells) • MEMORY TRICK: Diploid = DOUBLE • Example: If a rat has 20 chromosomes in its sperm cell, how many chromosomes are in the body cell?

  8. Types of Cells • Somatic Cells: “BODY CELLS” • Cells NOT for reproduction • Made by MITOSIS cell division (asexual reproduction) • Are DIPLOID (2 set of chromosomes) • Also known as “2n” • Examples: • Animals: all tissues form non-sex organs (skin cells, liver cells, tongue cells, etc.) • Plants: leaves, roots, stems, Tissues from non-sex organs!

  9. Gamete Cells: “SEX CELLS” • Cells specifically for reproduction • Made by MEIOSIS cell division (sexual reproduction) • Are HAPLOID (1 set of chromosomes) • Also known as “n” • Examples: • Animals: sperm (male) and egg (female) • Plants: pollen (male) and ovule (female)

  10. Meiosis • Produces GAMETE CELLS (sex cells) • The whole reason for meiosis is for SEXUAL REPRODUCTION to take place. • Gametes have a HAPLOID number of chromosomes • so they can come together to form a new offspring. • Meiosis occurs in all organisms with many cells: • Humans • Animals • Plants

  11. Key Facts about Meiosis • DNA REPLICATES before division • # of divisions: 2 • # of daughter cells: 4 • Daughter cells are NOT IDENTICAL (genetic variation!)

  12. Mitosis vs. Meiosis

  13. Mitosis vs. Meiosis

  14. Steps to Sexual Reproduction Male Human Female Human (testes) (ovaries) Gamete Gamete (sperm) (egg) Fertilization Zygote Death MEIOSIS MEIOSIS MITOSIS MITOSIS

  15. Memory Trick MITOSIS MEIOSIS M = Makes E = Eggs I O S = Sperm I S 1 diploid parent  4 haploid daughter cells M = Makes I = Identical T = Twins O S I S 1 diploid parent  2 diploid daughter cells

  16. Think-Write-Pair-Share 1) Describe a pollen cell from a flower. For this particular flower, a pollen cell has 10 chromosomes. In your Response, use the following terms. For some terms, you may not use them because they do not apply to a pollen cell: 2n/n, haploid/diploid, gametes/somatic cell, mitosis or meiosis, sexual/asexual.

  17. Think-Write-Pair-Share 2) Describe a skin cell from a human. In your response, use the following terms: 2n/n, haploid/diploid, 23 or 46 chromosomes, gametes/somatic cell, homologous chromosomes, mitosis/meiosis, sexual/asexual.

  18. Let’s try it… • A diploid cell of a mouse contains 12 chromosomes. How many chromosomes will be found in a haploid cell of a mouse? • The diploid cell of a bird contains 16 chromosomes. How many chromosomes will be found in the sperm cell?
