MEIOSIS Round 2. Compare. Critical differences between Mitosis and Meiosis: Tetrads form (Pro I) Crossing over can occur (Pro I) Tetrads line up and are separated (Meta I) Daughter cells are haploid Only occurs in germ cells Produces gametes (ova and sperm). Mitosis vs. Meiosis I.

MEIOSIS Round 2
Compare • Critical differences between Mitosis and Meiosis: • Tetrads form (Pro I) • Crossing over can occur (Pro I) • Tetrads line up and are separated (Meta I) • Daughter cells are haploid • Only occurs in germ cells • Produces gametes (ova and sperm)
Mitosis vs. Meiosis I Left: Metaphase of MITOSIS: no pairing!!!! Right: Metaphase I of Meiosis: homologous chromosomes Pair UP!
Chromosome Mutations are spontaneous changes involving an entire chromosome or pieces of a chromosome Remember Mutations?
Can occur during meiosis Some harmful, some not Bigger effect than gene mutations 2 types: Structural mutations and Numerical Mutations Chromosome Mutations
change in arrangement of genes on a chromosome For example, Deletion- one or more genes are lost Structural Mutations
Another example…. Inversion- piece of a chromosome breaks off and reattaches itself backwards Structural Mutations
Another example, Duplication- extra piece duplicated genes Structural Mutations
Another example, Translocation- piece of a chromosome breaks off of one & attaches to another different chromosome Structural Mutations
QRSTUV to QRUTSV Inversion UVWXY to ABCDUVWXY Insertion/Addition LMNOP to LMNLMNOP Duplication ABCDEF to ABEF Deletion What TYPE of mutations are these? Structural - change in arrangement or # of genes What causes them? Problems with crossing over What’s the Mutation?
changes in the number of chromosomes in a zygote Usually results from nondisjunction- failure of chromosomes to separate Monosomy- zygote receives only 1 of a particular chromosome EX: female being XO or getting 1 # 6 chromosome Numerical Mutations
Trisomy- zygote receives 3 chromosomes of a particular kind Down’s Syndrome - extra 21st chromosome Numerical Mutations
XXY - 47 Males The most common sexchromosome disorder. ~1/1000 males Males are usually infertile. Klinefelter’s Syndrome
Polyploidy- none of the chromosomes separate and the zygote gets 3 or more sets of chromosomes EX: instead of 23 pairs, you get 46 pairs of chromosomes…this means 92 chromosomes!!! Numerical Changes
46 (23 pairs) What are pairs 1-22 called? Autosomes What is the 23rd pair called? Sex chromosomes Male? Female? XY XX How many chromosomes does a human have?
