  1. GLT2 – I can explain how an offspring obtains DNA from its parents.

  2. Journal Can we use mitosis to make more people?

  3. Organisms that reproduce sexually are made up of two different types of cells. • Somatic Cells are “body” cells and contain the normal number of chromosomes. Examples would be … skin cells, brain cells, etc. • Sex cells contain only ½ the normal number of chromosomes…. Sperm cells and egg cells are sex cells.

  4. Sex cells • The Male Sex Cell is the sperm and is produced in the Testes. • The Female Sex Cell is the egg and is produced in the Ovaries.

  5. sperm egg zygote Fertilization • The joining of a sperm and egg to form a zygote. • A zygote is a fertilized egg that will grow into a baby.

  6. Chromosomes A zygote is made from 2 cells (one from mom and one from dad coming together). • If each cell had the full number of chromosomes (46 in humans), then what would the zygote have? • To solve this problem, sex cells are made with only half of the chromosomes (humans: sperm = 23 and egg = 23) • When they combine, the new zygote will have the right number (humans: 23+23=46). After going through mitosis millions of times, you get a baby!

  7. Humans have 46 chromosomes. They make 23 pairs from the parents. From mom From dad

  8. eye color gene eye color gene hair color gene hair color gene from dad from mom Chromosomespairs

  9. Homologous Chromosomes • Pair of chromosomes (from mom and from dad) that are similar in shape and size. • Homologous pairscarry genes controlling the same inherited traits. Number of fingers Number of fingers From dad From mom

  10. So now what? • We’ve discussed what chromosomes humans have in all of their cells. • Review: 23 chromosomes from mom’s egg + 23 chromosomes from dad’s sperm • Review: These 23 from each form pairs called homologous chromosomes • How do people make sperm and eggs with the right number of chromosomes?

  11. Meiosisis the process by which sex cells are made - they havehalfthe number ofchromosomesas somatic cells (every other cell in your body) In humans, we must go from 46 to 23. If Meiosis did not occur the chromosome number in each new generation would double…. The offspring would die. Cells need EXACTLY the right number of chromosomes

  12. Meiosis Meiosis is two cell divisions (called meiosis Iand meiosis II) with only one duplication of chromosomes (DNA replication).

  13. Interphase I • Similar to mitosis interphase. • Chromosomes replicate (make a copy).

  14. Meiosis I (four phases) • Four Phases: prophase I metaphase I anaphase I telophase I

  15. Prophase I • Longest and most complex phase. • 90% of the meiotic process is spent in Prophase I • Chromosome copies form an X – like in mitosis! • Homologous Chromosomescome together making a group of 4 called a tetrad • Nucleus breaks down

  16. Homologous chromosomes Chromosome and copy Chromosome and copy Prophase I Blue eyes Green eyes Blue eyes Green eyes Tetrad

  17. Homologous Chromosomes (Tetrad) Prophase I

  18. OR Metaphase I Homologous Chromosomes (Tetrad) Tetrads line up in the middle

  19. Anaphase I Tetrads split up and each homologous chromosome with its copy go towards the poles. Chromosome copies remain attached.

  20. Telophase I • Each side now has half of the tetrad. • Cytokinesis occurs and two daughter cells are formed. • These cells are NOT like the result of mitosis. The chromosomes have not separated from their copies.

  21. Telophase I

  22. Meiosis II • No interphase II • Remember:Meiosis IIis similar to mitosis

  23. Prophase II • same as prophase in mitosis • Chromosomes still in an X

  24. Metaphase II • same as metaphase in mitosis • Chromosome and copies line up in the middle

  25. Anaphase II • same as anaphase in mitosis • Copies separate

  26. Telophase II • Same as telophase in mitosis. • Nuclei form. • Cytokinesis occurs. • Remember: four daughter sex cells produced with half the number of chromosomes as the starting cell.

  27. Telophase II

  28. Questions? Meiosis Song

  29. Question: • A cell containing 20 chromosomes at the beginning of interphase I of meiosis would produce sex cells containing how many chromosomes?

  30. Answer: • 10 chromosomes

  31. Question: • A cell containing 40 chromosomes at the beginning of meiosis I would produce sex cells containing how many chromosomes?

  32. Answer: • 10 chromosomes
