Topic : Reproduction Aim : Explain the processes of sexual reproduction and meiosis.

Explore the intricate processes of sexual reproduction and meiosis, including the formation of gametes, chromosome division, and genetic variation in offspring. Learn about the phases of mitosis, compare male and female reproductive systems, and grasp the significance of cell division in producing genetically diverse organisms.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Topic: Reproduction Aim: Explain the processes of sexual reproduction and meiosis. Do Now: Phases of Mitosis Worksheet HW: Read pages 627-629. Write a paragraph comparing and contrasting the male and female reproductive systems.

  2. As a result of mitotic cell division, a cell having 40 chromosomes gives rise to two cells each of which has a chromosome number of _______ chromosomes.

  3. 2 types of cells in your body 1. SOMATIC CELLS = body cells with 46 chromosomes

  4. 2. GAMETES = sex cells with 23 chromosomes (1/2) • Egg & sperm

  5. Sexual Reproduction 2 parents Gametes from each join to produce new organism

  6. Why do gametes have half the chromosome number? 23 23 46

  7. Meiosis • Gametogenesis • Cell division that produces gametes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ba9LXKH2ztU&feature=related

  8. 4 Daughter cells have half the normal # of chromosomes 23 23 46 23 23

  9. 2 stages: Meiosis I, Meiosis II

  10. Let’s summarize… • Describe the two types of cells that our bodies consist of. • Explain the difference between asexual and sexual reproduction. • Explain the difference between mitosis and meiosis.

  11. What is the name of the process that produces gametes? • Mitosis • Binary fission • Asexual reproduction • Meiosis

  12. Cells such as nerve cells and muscle cells are known as • gametes • sex cells • somatic cells • specialized cells

  13. Which statement is true about sexual reproduction? • It produces offspring with half the number of chromosomes as the parent. • It involves sex cells joining together. • It produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parents.

  14. The result of meiosis are daughter cells that have • half the number of chromosomes • a quarter of the number of chromosomes • double the number of chromosomes • the same number of chromosomes

  15. The number of chromosomes found in human gametes is • 46 (2) 92 (3) 23

  16. A B C D E • What process is represented in the diagram? • Describe the genetic makeup of daughter cells. • What does phase A represent? What occurs in this phase? • Explain what is occurring at phase E.
