Objective
To investigate how sexual reproduction can lead to variation within a species.
Success Criteria
By the end of the lesson I:
• can identify the two types of reproduction as sexual and asexual reproduction.
• can explain the differences between sexual and asexual reproduction in that sexual reproduction leads to variation because the genes from two parents are mixed to create a new individual whereas in asexual reproduction there is only one parent and hence no mixing.
• can explain in detail how sexual reproduction leads to variation within a species using the correct scientific key words.

chromosome from male parent
In most cells chromosomes are matched in pairs based on their size and shape.
Where do chromosomes come from?
Each pair of chromosomes contains one chromosome that has been Each pair of chromosomes contains one chromosome that has been inherited from each parent.inherited from each parent.

• Inside the NUCLEUS of every one of your cells there are CHROMOSOMES.
• CHROMOSOMES are coiled up DNA strands.
• On each CHROMOSOME there are several thousand GENES.
• GENES are shorter sections of DNA that code for particular CHARACTERISTICS
• GENES provide instructions to make PROTEINS that control the functions of the cell and therefore determining how the body functions (characteristics)

Asexual ReproductionAsexual reproduction only involves 1 parent and so Asexual reproduction only involves 1 parent and so gives rise to offspring known as gives rise to offspring known as CLONES. CLONES. Why?Why?
Daffodils can reproduce both Asexually and Daffodils can reproduce both Asexually and Sexually! Why would this make these plants more Sexually! Why would this make these plants more successful? Explain the differences between the successful? Explain the differences between the two types of offspring? two types of offspring?

Sexual Reproduction• All living things can
reproduce.
• In most animals and plants this usually happens by sexual reproduction.
• This is when a male and a female mate, and produce offspring using sex cells.
• The young plants or animals will have similar characteristics to their parents but will not be identical to them.

• Male animals produce gametes called Male animals produce gametes called sperm cells and female animals make sperm cells and female animals make gametes called egg cells.gametes called egg cells.

Variation
Why is variation important ???
Increase genes in a population
Allow survival of the fittest
Whole population will not be wiped out

THINK
If one parent has blue eyes and one parent has brown eyes what
colour eyes will their children have?
Can you prove this?
Sexual reproductionSexual reproduction is VERY risky as it relies on the is VERY risky as it relies on the joining of two sex cells. Even so, sexual joining of two sex cells. Even so, sexual reproduction is SO important for variation amongst reproduction is SO important for variation amongst species and hence survival that it can be seen in species and hence survival that it can be seen in almost all types of plants and animalsalmost all types of plants and animals

• Each parent will have two chromosomes that contain the gene for eye colour.
Blue eyesBrown eyes
How can we represent the different eye colours?
Gene for eye colour
Each pair of genes affects a different characteristic
Each gene can have a different form. The versions of the same gene are called ALLELESALLELES
Biology 1b Evolution and EnvironmentBiology 1b Evolution and EnvironmentGCSGCSEE
CORCOREE
• Different versions of the same gene are known as ALLELES.
• For example, blue and brown are two alleles for eye colour.
If we inherit one chromosome from each
parent what ALLELES will the offspring have?
I can explain how sexual reproduction leads to variation
Biology 1b Evolution and EnvironmentBiology 1b Evolution and EnvironmentGCSGCSEE
CORCOREE
What colour eyes will the
offspring have?
Some alleles are DOMINANT over other forms of the gene.
What does this mean?
This means that the DOMINANT allele will always be expressed (shown) over the RECCESSIVE allele.
The Brown allele is
DOMINANT over the blue
allele.
All the offspring will have
Brown eyes

PHENOTYPE means the physical expression of the

i.e. what colour the eyes will be
GENOTYPE is the pair of alleles for a characteristic
