Types of Reproduction • Asexual • One parent produces genetically identical offspring • Ex: body cells (mitosis), bacteria • Sexual • Two parents produce genetically different offspring through fertilization • Different type of cell division must be used to create an egg & a sperm! (meiosis) 46 23 + 23
What is Fertilization? • Fertilization: A sperm cell and an egg cell fuse together • Creates a zygote which is a fertilized egg • Half the genetic information is from “dad” and half is from “mom”
Diploid Male (2n=46) Diploid Female (2n=46) MEIOSIS Egg Cell (n=23) Sperm Cell (n=23) FERTILIZATION Zygote (2n=46) Embryo (2n=46) MITOSIS begins helps grow the embryo into a human!
2 Groups of Cells in our Body • Somatic Cells: • Also called “Body Cells” • Every cell in your body, except for your sex cells (eggs and sperm) • Divide by Mitosis continuously until death • Gametes: • Sex cells (eggs and sperm)
Chromosomes within Cells • Remember, within our cells, we have chromosomes! • These are found…. in the nucleus! • Different species have different numbers of chromosomes • How many chromosomes do humans have? • 46 (23 pairs of chromosomes)
Chromosomes within Cells • Recall those 2 groups of cells we talked about earlier…? • 1st - Somatic Cells • ContainAutosomal Chromosomes – code for physical traits (in pairs) • 22 pairs = 44 chromosomes total • 2nd - Gamete Cell(s) • Containsex chromosomes – determine gender (in pairs) • 1 pair = 2 chromosomes total
Sex chromosomes • Found in gamete cells determines gender (male/female) • 2 forms X and Y • Mom’s egg always gives an “X” • Sperm can give “X” or “Y” • Results in: • Males: XY • Females: XX FUN FACT: Why was King Henry VIII a big jerk?!
Somatic vs. Gametes Sex chromosomes from GAMETE CELLS ALL AUTOSOMAL CHROMOSOMES from SOMATIC CELLS
FUN FACT: Meiosis in men creates 4 sperm cells, whereas meiosis in women creates 1 (large!) egg cell Only 1 3 1 2 4
Another Difference between Somatic & Gamete Cells? • Somatic and Gamete Cells contain different amounts of chromosomes (and therefore, DNA) • Two types: • Haploid (n) • Diploid (2n)
Haploid vs. Diploid • Haploid (n): • Produced by meiosis • These are GAMETES (sex cells) • Contain a single set of chromosomes 23 chromosomes (n) • Diploid (2n): • A complete set(2 sets total) of homologouschromosomes 1 from mom, 1 from dad • Contain 23 pairs in humans = 46 chromosomes FUN FACT: in humans, n = 23….
What are Homologous Chromosomes? • HOMOLOGOUS – pair of chromosomes that are the same shape, size, and have the same gene pattern • NOT identical you get one set from mom and one set from dad • 23 homologous pairs = 46 chromosomes One pair of homologous chromosomes = tetrad
What is Meiosis? • Meiosis: • Part of Sexual reproduction • Increases genetic variation • Type of cell division that produces 4 haploid daughter cells • Goal: each daughter cell has half the number of chromosomes as parent cell • Only occurs in sex organs (testes, ovaries)
Meiosis Overview2 Cell Divisons • Meiosis I • Prophase I • Separates Homologous Pair • Metaphase I • Anaphase I • Telophase I • Meiosis II • Prophase II • Separates sister chromatids • Metaphase II • Anaphase II • Telophase II
Meiosis 1 • Prophase I • Nuclear Envelope breaks down • Chromatin condenses – why is this important? HINT: which of these would be easier to accurately divide in half?
Meiosis 1 • Prophase I (con’d) • Homologous chromosomes stick together • 2 homologous chromosomes = a tetrad = 4 chromatids • Crossing Over happens! • Sister chromatids exchange genetic material
Meiosis 1 • Metaphase I: • Tetradsline up in the middle of the cell • Anaphase I: • Tetrads(homologous pairs) split and move to opposite poles of cell
Meiosis 1 • Telophase I: • Spindle fibers disappear • Nucleus envelope reappears • Cytokinesis • 2 Haploid daughter cells (1n)
Meiosis 1 Summary TELOHASE II TELOHASE I DNA info from mom and dad wrapped into 1 chromosome (92 chromatids = 46 chromatids worth of information from both parents) PROPHASE I
Meiosis 2 • Prophase II • Nuclear Envelope breaks down, centrosomes and centrioles move to pole ends and spindle fibers assemble (same as in Prophase I except NO Crossing Over) • Metaphase II • 23 chromosomes align at the cell equator, each chromosome still has TWO sister chromatids • Anaphase II • Sister chromatids pull apart • Telophase II • Nuclear membranes re-form around each set of chromosomes, spindle fibers break apart 4 cells total now have 23 chromosomes a combo from both mom and dad
Telophase I – Nucleus reforms. 23 chromosomes (46 chromatids) in each of TWO new cells
Anaphase II – 46 chromatids are pulled apart and become 46 chromosomes
Complications of Meiosis: Genetic Disorders • Caused by an abnormality in an individual’s DNA • How do these abnormalities occur? • Non-disjunction • Addition or subtraction of chromosome or a set of chromosomes • Mutations • Change to DNA sequence (gene)
Non-Disjunction QUESTION: Is it possible for non-disjunction to occur and still end up with a healthy individual?
Non-Disjunction • Non-disjunction- failure of the chromosomes to separate properly in meiosis I or II • What are some disorders caused by non-disjunction? • Downs Syndrome • Trisomy 21 • Patau Syndrome • Trisomy 13 • Edwards Syndrome • Trisomy 18 • Klinefelter’s Syndrome • XXY • Turner Syndrome • Monosomy X
What is a Karyotype? • Karyotype: • Display of chromosomes (condensed)
Inheritance Patterns of Disorders • Codominant Inheritance • Sickle cell anemia • Dominant Inheritance • Huntington’s Disease • Recessive Inheritance • Cystic fibrosis (recessive) • Maple syrup urine disorder (recessive) • Congenital hypothyroidism (recessive)
Sickle Cell Anemia • Hemoglobin is the O2 carrying protein in red blood cells • SCA is an inherited blood disease where hemoglobin clumps together causes red blood cells to stiffen and curl into a sickle/crescent shape because of this, the RBC cannot transport O2 effectively
Huntington’s Disease • Huntington’s disease • Develops in middle age, death soon follows • Deterioration of nervous system, uncontrollable movements until person dies • Found on Chromosome 4 • Chromosome 4 spans more than 186 million base pairs • HD is a dominantgene… • …this means any child of an affected person has a 50% chance of inheriting the disease
Recessive Disorders • Over a thousand human genetic disorders are known to have Mendelian inheritance patterns • Cystic Fibrosis • Excess mucus in lungs, digestive tract, liver • More susceptible to pneumonia, infection • Early death ~ average age of 37 • Tay-Sachs • Lipid accumulation in brain cells, mental retardation • Blindness, death in childhood
Recessive Disorders • The majority of people with recessive disordersare born to parents who are heterozygous and do not have the recessive disorder • People who have one copy of the allele for a recessive disorder, but do not show any symptoms are called carriers
