Presentation Transcript

  1. Biology 102 Cellular reproduction (cont.2) Chapter 1

  2. Lecture outline • Sexual vs. asexual reproduction • Advantages and Disadvantages • Steps and details of meiosis • Errors in meiosis (briefly) Chapter 1

  3. Sexual vs. asexual reproduction • Advantages of asexual reproduction: • Can reproduce on own. • Why an advantage? • ALL of your genes carried on to offspring. • Allows for rapid production of offspring. • Relatively "cheap": each replication produces new individuals. • Disadvantages of asexual reproduction: • No genetic recombination • No chance to create offspring that might deal better with new situations • Genes dispersed in exactly same "package“ Chapter 1

  4. Sexual vs. asexual reproduction • Advantages of sexual reproduction • Genetic recombination • Potential for offspring to deal better with novel situations than parent type • Your siblings aren't clones of each other. One genetic combinations might do markedly better • Disadvantages of sexual reproduction • Must find compatible partner (difficult in some habitats) • Each offspring carries only 50% of your genes, not 100% • New combination could be less effective than what you have! • Must produce many gametes… Chapter 1

  5. Meiosis I Homologous chromosomes exchange DNA & align on equator Homologous chromosomes pair and cross over Prophase I Metaphase I Chapter 1

  6. Crossing Over • Review steps • What is accomplished? Chapter 1

  7. Meiosis I Homologous chromosomes exchange DNA & align on equator Homologous chromosomes move to opposite poles Homologous chromosomes pair and cross over Telophase I Prophase I Metaphase I Anaphase I Chapter 1

  8. Metaphase I Alignment Scenarios • Note side-by-side alignment • Note independent assortment of chromosomes Chapter 1

  9. Meiosis II Similar to Mitosis FourHaploidCells Prophase II Metaphase II Anaphase II Telophase II Chapter 1

  10. Errors in meiosis • Down Syndrome • Chromosome pair 21 doesn’t split up (Metaphase 1) • Egg has three homogous chromosomes • Why more prevalent in older women? • Meiosis stops in Prophase 1 until ovulation… • XXY or XYY • Similar mechanism, but with sex chromosomes • Effects Chapter 1

  11. Meiosis vs. Mitosis:Comparison of Stages Chapter 1

  12. Meiosis vs. Mitosis:Comparison of Spindles Meiosis: Duplicated chromosomes with one kinetochore; Paired homologues go to opposite poles. Mitosis: Duplicated chromosomes with two kinetochores; Unpaired homologs split between sister chromatids, which go to opposite poles. Chapter 1
