Significance of cell reproduction Unicellular Organisms: reproduce by a type of cell division called binary fission.
Multicellular organisms- growth and repair upon cell division, also the production of sex cells.
Chromosomes -Carriers of genetic material found in nucleus -Made up of DNA -Information is copied and passed to future generations
Usually exist as chromatin -long, winding strands which condense into chromosomes before dividing Humans have 46 chromosomes in body cells, 23 in sex cells
Meiosis • Similar in many ways to mitosis • However there are several differences • Involves 2 cell divisions (mitosis only has one) • Results in 4 cells with 1/2 the normal genetic information that are not identical (mitosis results in 2 cells)
Vocabulary • Diploid (2N) - Normal amount of genetic material • Haploid (N) - 1/2 the genetic material. • Meiosis results in the formation of haploid cells. • In Humans, these are the Ova (egg) and sperm. • Ova are produced in the ovaries in females • Process is called oogenesis • Sperm are produced in the testes of males. • Process is called spermatogenesis
Comparison of Mitosis & Meiosis Page 276
Meiosis Phases • There are 2 phases: Meiosis I, & Meiosis II. • Meiosis I. • Prior to division, amount of DNA doubles
Crossing Over • During metaphase 1 homologous chromosomes line-up along the metaphase plate • Areas of homologous chromosomes connect at areas called chiasmata
Crossing over contd. • Crossing Over of genes occurs now • Segments of homologous chromosomes break and reform at similar locations. • Results in new genetic combinations of offspring. • This is the main advantage of sexual reproduction
Chromosome reduction • During anaphase 1, each homologous chromosome is pulled to opposite sides of the cell. Unlike mitosis, THE CENTROMERES DO NOT BREAK.
Meiosis I continued • Nuclei may or may not reform following division. • Cytokenesis may or may not occur
Meiosis II • DNA does not double • Chromosomes randomly line-up along metaphase plate like regular mitosis. • During anaphase 2, CENTROMERES BREAK and each chromosome is pulled to opposite sides of the cell. • Nuclei reform and cytokenesis usually occurs (although it is often unequal).
Introduction to Genetics Genetic variation within the White-cheeked Rosella
Heredity & Genetics 1. Heredity: The passing of traits from parents to offspring2. Genetics: Study of heredity 3. Inherited characteristics are called traits
Gregor Mendel was the first person to predict how traits are transferred.Austrian monk who studied garden peas
-Mendel transferred pollen from plant to plant and then studied resulting peas-Studied only one trait at a time- Mendel is called the “father of genetics”
Mendel used pea plants because - they reproduce sexually - have both male and female gametes in the same flower - fertilization could be controlled http://www2.edc.org/weblabs/WebLabDirectory1.html

Phenotypes & Genotypes Phenotype: appearance of an organism Example: short, tall, green, yellow Genotype: gene combination of an organism Example: tt, TT, Tt, gg, GG, Gg
Heterozygous & Homozygous Heterozygous: the 2 alleles are differentExample: Tt -heterozygousHomozygous: the 2 alleles are the sameExample: TT means homozygous dominant, and tt means homozygous recessive Livestock: http://www.parkelivestock.com/semensales.htm http://www.mcrobertsgamefarm.com/buffalo/white_buffalo.htm
Traits can be dominant or recessiveDominant traits: exhibited trait, written with 1 or 2 capital letters Example: TT, TtRecessive traits: inhibited trait (not expressed unless homozygous), written with lowercase letters Example: tt
Monohybrid Crosses Crosses that differ by a single trait Example: Tall pea plant x short pea plant The first generation produced offspring resembling only one parent Example: all tall pea plants

The second generation produced: 3/4 of peas were tall 1/4 of peas were short Mendel concluded that each trait has 2 factors -Factors are now called alleles - Organisms inherit one allele from mother and one allele from father

Probability:the chance or percentage of chance of a trait being exhibited Now you know that the probability of a heads-up landing when you flip a coin is 1/2. What is the probability of getting tails if you flip it again? - It is still 1/2. The two events do not affect each other. They are independent!
Mendel Revisited • Quick Review • Genotype: genetic code for traits TT Tt tt • Phenotype: physical appearance • Homozygous, heterozygous, dominant, recessive • Punnett Square: • TT x tt • Tt x Tt
Law of Dominance • In a cross of parents that are pure for contrasting traits, only one form of the trait will appear in the next generation. • Offspring that are hybrid for a trait will have only the dominant trait in the phenotype. • TT (tall) x tt (short) all Tall
Law of Segregation • During the formation of gametes (eggs or sperm), the two alleles responsible for a trait separate from each other. Alleles for a trait are then "recombined" at fertilization, producing the genotype for the traits of the offspring. • Tt (tall) x Tt (tall)75% Tall, 25% short • alleles act independently
Incomplete dominance Incomplete dominance-neither allele is Dominant or recessive Example- white flowers X red flowers= pink flowers-a mixture or blend of the parent colors
Codominanceoffspring shows phenotype of neither parent both alleles are dominantExample- bay horse x white horsed= roan horse- both hair colors are present
Multiple alleles: more than 2 alleles control a traitExample-blood type in humans a. blood type is determined by presence or absence of proteins on the surface of red blood cellsExamples- A, B, AB, & O
To determine the blood types of possible offspringParents = A blood, O bloodGenotypes AA, AO OO
Calico Cats • Calico is not a breed of cat, but an unusual coloring occurring across many breeds • Virtually all calico cats are female • a male calico is a genetic anomaly and usually sterile • Producing calico kittens through selective breeding also is nearly impossible due to unpredictable actions of genes and chromosomes when cells multiply in a feline fetus
Sex linked alleles: controlled by genes located on sex chromosomes -usually carried on the X chromosomes -Females XX, males XY -If trait is X-linked, males pass the trait on to all their daughters, but none to their sons -mothers have 50/50 chance of passing it to all their childrenExamples-colorblindness
Colorblindness,Hemophilia, MD • Colorblindness – recessive disorder where a person can’t distinguish between certain colors. • Hemophilia – blood clotting disorder • Muscular Dystrophy – deterioration of the skeletal muscle. Children rarely live past early adulthood.

Aneuploidy • Abnormal # of chromosomes • Trisomy – aneuploidy of the 1st 22 pairs of chromosomes • Autosomes – 1st 22 pairs of chromosomes. • Turners Syndrome – XO 1/2000. Females that lack ovaries, shorter, and live normal lives. • Klienfelters syndrome – 1/500 males XXY taller than avg., longer limbs, sterile
Karyotype • A chart of all 23 pairs of chromosomes • Tell the sex of the child • Aneuploidy yes/no
