  1. Sources of Genetic Variation

  2. How does Meiosis lead to genetic variation?

  3. What is Crossing Over? • Crossing over is when homologous chromosomes EXCHANGE genetic information to create genetic DIFFERENCES!

  4. When does it happen? • ONLY during MEIOSIS!

  5. What does it mean? • It means that one person can NEVER make the same EGG or SPERM cell!

  6. What does it look like?

  8. What is Random (Independent) Assortment of Chromosomes? • Random assortment of chromosomes means that it is completely RANDOM which CHROMOSOMES go into which gametes.

  9. When does it happen? • ONLY during MEIOSIS!

  10. What does it mean? • All gametes are genetically DIFFERENT!

  11. What does it look like?

  13. What are Mutations? • A Mutations is when there is a MISTAKE in the DNA sequence.

  14. What can it be? • Mutations can be BAD, GOOD or NEUTRAL!

  15. What happens in a BODY cell? • The mutations will ONLY affect that PERSON

  16. What happens in a SEX cell? • The mutation can be passed onto the offspring!

  17. What does it look like?

  18. What is Non-Disjunction of chromosomes? • Non-Disjunction is when chromosomes FAIL to separate from each other

  19. When does it happen? • During MEIOSIS!

  20. What does it result in? • It results in the WRONG number of CHROMOSOMES in each cell.

  21. What are two famous examples? • Down Syndrome • 3 chromosomes at # 21 • Klinefelters Syndrome • an extra X chromosome (XXY instead of XY)

  22. What does it look like?

  24. What is fertilization? • Fertilization is when an EGG and SPERM come together.

  25. What does it create? • They create 100% UNIQUE combination of genes!

  26. What does it look like?
