- both these chromosomes carry a pair of “ matching genes”
- homologous = same information
- they control the same inherited characters
- the single stranded chromatids replicate to form two chromosomes.,
How do we make sperm and eggs ?
- the 46 chromosomes are divided into 2 cuz 23 chromosomes come from the and the other 23 come form the dad
- then when they come together through the process of fertilization to create the 46 chromosomes.
What is the process of making eggs called
Oogenesis
What is the process of making sperm called ?
- spermatogenesis
Meiosis = production of the gametes
It reduces the chromosomes number
- makes gamers from diploid to haploid
- fertilization restores it to 46 chromosomes making a zygote
Prophase 1
- this is the crossing over of the mom and dad chromosomes known as synapsis.( crossing over )
- the homologous pairs with one from mom and dad swap genes.
- They basically swaps pieces of genes
-
Identical twins
- also known as monozygotic
- one egg and sperm combine to make a zygote that then splits up to make 2 embryos.
- it’s a clone of the zygote
Fraternal twins
- dizygotic
- 2 eggs and sperm are fertilized at the same time to create 2 embryos with different genetic information.
- it can boy or girl
Asexual reproduction
Identical to the parent
- 1 parent
- faster and less energy
- single celled organisms ( fungi, protists , hydra)
5 types of asexual reproduction
- parthogenesis - adult forming from unfertilized egg. Clone
- binary fusion = mitosis that occurs in bacteria
- budding
- fragmentation- when a part of the plant falls off and something grows
-runnus- when the roots are running underneath
Trisomy
- presence of 3 homologous chromatids in every cell.
- zygote contains 47 chromatids not 46 ( and have 3 chromatids instead of 2 )
- Down syndrome or trisomy 21
Monosomy
- zygote has 45 chromatids.
- basically have only 1 chromatid in a pair
- turner syndrome
Karotyping
- IMAGE of your chromosomes .
- helps us find genetic disorders. As well as the biological sex.
- like after prophase and during metaphase in mitosis
mother= XX
DAD =XY
Autosomes
Are the 22 chromosomes that are not related to your biological sex
Sex chromosomes
Which is the 23rd pair relates to your biological sex
Value of sexual reproduction
- genetic variation eg independent assortment, crossing over, random fertilization ( which sperm fertilizes which egg we don’t know )
is meiosis cyclic
No meiois is non cyclic and mitosis is cyclic
Mitosis facts
- mitosis
- somatic cells
- cytokinesis done once
- duplicate chromosomes once during the s phase
- 2 identical diploid cells
- they grow and repair, to keep skin cells the same
Meiosis facts
- we produce gametes
- cytokeneis done 2 times
- Dna replicated once in the s phase
- 4 gametes which are haploid ( 23 chromosomes)
- start 46 and end with 43
- for reproduction
- for diverse babies
Independent assortment
- The random alignment of homologous chromosomes in metaphase 1
Metaphase 1
- Then the homologous pairs move to the centre, metaphase plate while the centrioles move to the opposite end.
Anaphase 1
- The spindle fibres pull one chromosomes each from the homologous pairs and move it towards the centrioles.
Telophase 1
- This is when the chromosmes are now at their poles and a nuclear membrane begins to form and then cytokenisis takes place and we have 2 haploid cells.
Prophase 2
- This is when the the nuclear member decomposes
- centrioles begin to move to the opposite poles
Metaphase 2
- this is when the chromosmes line up in the centre ( metaphase plate)
Anaphase 2
- the spindle fibres pull apart the chromosomes resulting in the centromere breaking and chromatids moving towards the centrioles.
- independent assortment
-
Telophase 2
- results in 4 haploid cells that are genetically different
-
Nondisjunctional disorders
-This is when the chromosomes fail to separate correctly.
- once a zygote with an abnormal amount of chromosomes begins to replicate EVERY CELL IS AFFECTED.
- two homologous chromosomes move to the same pole during anaphase 1 or 2 resulting in one daughter cell having an extra chromosome while another is missing one
