Meiosis and Sexual Reproduction Chapter 9
Asexual Reproduction • Single parent produces offspring • All offspring are genetically identical to one another and to parent
Sexual Reproduction • Chromosomes are duplicated in germ cells • Germ cells undergo meiosis and cytoplasmic division • Cellular descendents of germ cells become gametes • Gametes meet at fertilization
Sexual Reproduction • Involves: – Meiosis – Gamete production – Fertilization • Produces genetic variation among offspring
Sexual Reproduction Shuffles Alleles • Through sexual reproduction, offspring inherit new combinations of alleles, which leads to variations in traits • This variation in traits is the basis for evolutionary change
Homologous Chromosomes Carry Different Alleles • Cell has two of each chromosome • One chromosome in each pair from mother, other from father • Paternal and maternal chromosomes carry different alleles
Gamete Formation • Gametes are sex cells (sperm, eggs) • Arise from germ cells ovaries testes anther ovary
Chromosome Number • Sum total of chromosomes in a cell • Germ cells are diploid (2 n) • Gametes are haploid (n) • Meiosis halves chromosome number
Meiosis: Two Divisions • Two consecutive nuclear divisions – Meiosis II • DNA is not duplicated between divisions • Four haploid nuclei are formed
Meiosis I Each homologue in the cell pairs with its partner, then the partners separate
Meiosis II • The two sister chromatids of each duplicated chromosome are separated from each other two chromosomes (unduplicated) one chromosome (duplicated)
Stages of Meiosis II • Prophase II • Metaphase II • Anaphase II • Telophase II
Meiosis I - Stages Prophase I Metaphase I Anaphase I Telophase I
Prophase I • Each duplicated, condensed chromosome pairs with its homologue • Homologues swap segments • Each chromosome becomes attached to microtubules of newly forming spindle
Metaphase I • Chromosomes are pushed and pulled into the middle of cell • Sister chromatids of one homologue orient toward one pole, and those of other homologue toward opposite pole • The spindle is now fully formed
Anaphase I • Homologous chromosomes segregate from each other • The sister chromatids of each chromosome remain attached
Telophase I • The chromosomes arrive at opposite poles • The cytoplasm divides • There are now two haploid cells • This completes Meiosis I
Meiosis II - Stages Prophase II Metaphase II Anaphase II Telophase II
Prophase II • Microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the duplicated chromosomes • Motor proteins drive the movement of chromosomes toward the spindle’s equator
Metaphase II • All of the duplicated chromosomes are lined up at the spindle equator, midway between the poles
Anaphase II • Sister chromatids separate to become independent chromosomes • Motor proteins interact with microtubules to move the separated chromosomes to opposite poles
Telophase II • The chromosomes arrive at opposite ends of the cell • A nuclear envelope forms around each set of chromosomes • The cytoplasm divides • There are now four haploid cells
Crossing Over • Each chromosome becomes zippered to its homologue • All four chromatids are closely aligned • Non-sister chromosomes exchange segments
Effect of Crossing Over • After crossing over, each chromosome contains both maternal and parental segments • Creates new allele combinations in offspring
Random Alignment • During transition between prophase I and metaphase I, microtubules from spindle poles attach to kinetochores of chromosomes • Initial contacts between microtubules and chromosomes are random
Random Alignment • Either the maternal or paternal member of a homologous pair can end up at either pole • The chromosomes in a gamete are a mix of chromosomes from the two parents
Possible Chromosome Combinations As a result of random alignment, the number of possible combinations of chromosomes in a gamete is: 2 n (n is number of chromosome types)
Possible Chromosome Combinations 1 or or or 2 3
Plant Life Cycle mitosis multicelled sporophyte zygote fertilization Diploid meiosis Haploid spores gametes multicelled gametophytes mitosis
Animal Life Cycle mitosis multicelled body zygote fertilization Diploid Haploid gametes meiosis
Spermatogenesis secondary spermatocytes (haploid) spermatogonium (diploid male germ cell) primary spermatocyte (diploid) spermatids (haploid) Growth Mitosis I, Cytoplasmic division Meiosis II, Cytoplasmic division
Oogenesis first polar body (haploid) oogonium (diploid reproductive cell) Growth three polar bodies (haploid) primary oocyte (diploid) secondary oocyte (haploid) Mitosis I, Cytoplasmic division ovum (haploid) Meiosis II, Cytoplasmic division
Fertilization • Male and female gametes unite and nuclei fuse • Fusion of two haploid nuclei produces diploid nucleus in the zygote • Which two gametes unite is random – Adds to variation among offspring
Factors Contributing to Variation among Offspring • Crossing over during prophase I • Random alignment of chromosomes at metaphase I • Random combination of gametes at fertilization
Mitosis & Meiosis Compared Mitosis • Functions – Asexual reproduction – Growth, repair • Occurs in somatic cells • Produces clones Meiosis • Function – Sexual reproduction • Occurs in germ cells • Produces variable offspring
Prophase vs. Prophase I • Prophase (Mitosis) – Homologous pairs do not interact with each other • Prophase I (Meiosis) – Homologous pairs become zippered together and crossing over occurs
Anaphase, Anaphase I, and Anaphase II • Anaphase I (Meiosis) – Homologous chromosomes are separated from each other • Anaphase/Anaphase II (Mitosis/Meiosis) – Sister chromatids of a chromosome are separated from each other
Results of Mitosis and Meiosis • Mitosis – Two diploid cells produced – Each identical to parent • Meiosis – Four haploid cells produced – Differ from parent and one another
