Professor Chiszar’sBig Surprise I had a photo of Prof. Chiszar in his lab, but the url is no longer available – I suggest adding a photo of someone handling snakes in a lab setting snakes Include a nice photo of a timber rattlesnake
For a nice photo, see: http://animals.timduru.org/dirlist/snake/TimberRattlesnake_01-OnSand.jpg Timber rattlesnakeCrotalushorridus http://animals.timduru.org/dirlist/snake/TimberRattlesnake_01-OnSand.jpg
Timber rattlesnake: Crotalushorridus For a nice video see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMaBH7EKYMU The newborn snake pops out at about 2:30 on the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMaBH7EKYMU

Professor Chiszar’s big surprise For an nice photo see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/adaptations/Ovoviviparity http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/adaptations/Ovoviviparity
One more surprise! It’s a boy!
What would you like to ask Prof. Chiszar about this baby snake?
Where do babies come from? • Ultimately: from cells • How do cells reproduce? Mitosis
A Primer on Basic Features of Mitosis & Meiosis To preserve the animations, please be sure to work through the slide show before editing
mitosis • Metaphase: homologous chromosomes independently line up • Produces two genetically identical nuclei (two genetically identical daughter cells after cell division)

Well, where do baby snakes usually come from? For a nice photo of fertilization, see http://www.webmd.com/baby/ss/slideshow-conception http://www.webmd.com/baby/ss/slideshow-conception
meiosis • DNA replicates once, but cell divides twice • First meiosis: duplicated, homologous chromosomes pair up at metaphase so each cell gets one set of duplicated chromosomes • Second meiosis: duplicated chromosomes line up independently at metaphase so each cell gets one sister chromatid (i.e. all cells are haploid and have only one copy of each chromosome) • Produces gametes with one set of chromosomes • Four gametes (sperm) or one big gamete (egg) & three tiny cells called polar bodies
