CB 17. 3 Protein
CB 13. 5 {Meiosis: producing gametes} For life to exist, the information (genes) must be passed on. {Mitosis: producing more cells}
Asexaul Reproduction extremely low genetic diversity vs. Sexaul Reproduction greater genetic diversity How does sexual reproduction generate genetic diversity?
Allele for low express (short) Gene for growth hormone Allele for high express (tall) Allele for black hair Gene for hair color Allele for black hair Allele for sickle cell Hb Gene for hemoglobin Allele for normal Hb Diploid chromosomes
Each pair of chromosomes is comprised of a paternal and maternal chromosome
Asexaul Reproduction extremely low genetic diversity vs. Sexaul Reproduction greater genetic diversity Two processes generate genetic diversity during sexual reproduction.
Crossing-over: Proteins in the cell cut and religate the DNA, increasing the genetic diversity in gametes. CB 13. 11
CB 13. 11 Crossing-over: Proteins in the cell cut and religate the DNA, increasing the genetic diversity in gametes.
CB 13. 10 Independent Assortment 2 possibilities for each pair, for 2 pairs 22 = 4 combinations
CB 13. 10 Independent Assortment 2 possibilities for each pair, for 23 pairs 223 = 8, 388, 608 combinations
CB 13. 9 Crossingover Meiosis: In humans, crossing -over and (Ind. Assort. ) independent assortment lead to over 1 trillion possible unique gametes. (1, 000, 000) Meiosis II 4 Haploid cells, each unique
CB 13. 8
CB 13. 8 4 haploid cells
CB 13. 9
CB 13. 5 {Producing gametes} Sexual reproduction creates genetic diversity by combining DNA from 2 individuals, but also by creating genetically unique gametes. {Producing more cells}
CB 13. 6 Different organisms have different patterns of haploid and diploid stages
Asexual Reproduction genetically identical to parent (this tree can reproduce both sexually and asexually)
Why does sexual reproduction exist? Cons: • Need two individuals • Hard to find mate • Diseases/Competition Pros: • Genetic diversity or • Replace damage DNA
Plant Evolution: different plants have different ploidy for the different parts of their lifecycle. CB 29. 7
CB 29. 8 and. 12 Haploid dominant (algae) Diploid dominant (fern)
Why does sexual reproduction exist? Cons: • Need two individuals • Hard to find mate • Diseases/Competition Pros: • Genetic diversity or • Replace damage DNA
