I. Inheritance of Genes
• Genes = segments of DNA
• Genes are passed by gametes (sperm and eggs)
• Each gene has a specific location (locus) on a chromosome
![Page 4: Chapter 13 Meiosis. Fig. 13-1 I. Inheritance of Genes Genes = segments of DNA Genes are passed by gametes (sperm and eggs) Each gene has a specific location.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e745503460f94b74fec/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
II. Asexual vs Sexual Reproduction
• Asexual reproduction = one parent, genetically identical offspring, mitosis
• Sexual reproduction = two parents, offspring have combinations of genes

III. Human Chromosomes
• Human somatic cells (body cells) have 23 pairs of chromosomes
• Karyotype = an ordered display of the pairs of chroms from a cell
• Homologous chromosomes = The two chroms in each pair (homologs)
• Chroms are same length and carry genes controlling the same traits

• Sex chromosomes are X and Y
• Human females have a pair of X chroms (XX)
• Human males have one X and one Y (XY)
• Autosomes = 22 pairs of chroms that do not determine sex
![Page 10: Chapter 13 Meiosis. Fig. 13-1 I. Inheritance of Genes Genes = segments of DNA Genes are passed by gametes (sperm and eggs) Each gene has a specific location.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e745503460f94b74fec/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Each pair of homologous chroms has one chrom from each parent
• Diploid cell (2n) has two sets of chromosomes
• For humans, the diploid number is 46 (2n = 46)
• In a cell in which DNA synthesis has occurred, each chromosome is replicated (two identical sister chromatids)
![Page 11: Chapter 13 Meiosis. Fig. 13-1 I. Inheritance of Genes Genes = segments of DNA Genes are passed by gametes (sperm and eggs) Each gene has a specific location.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e745503460f94b74fec/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

• Gamete contains a single set of chroms, and is haploid (n) (monoploid)
• Humans, haploid number is 23 (n = 23)
• Each set of 23 = 22 autosomes + 1 sex chrom
• In an unfertilized egg (ovum), the sex chrom is X
• In a sperm cell, the sex chrom may be either X or Y
![Page 13: Chapter 13 Meiosis. Fig. 13-1 I. Inheritance of Genes Genes = segments of DNA Genes are passed by gametes (sperm and eggs) Each gene has a specific location.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e745503460f94b74fec/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Fertilization = union of gametes
• Zygote = fertilized egg and has one set of chroms from each parent (2n)
• Produces somatic cells by mitosis and develops into an adult
IV. Chromosomes in Human Life Cycle
![Page 14: Chapter 13 Meiosis. Fig. 13-1 I. Inheritance of Genes Genes = segments of DNA Genes are passed by gametes (sperm and eggs) Each gene has a specific location.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e745503460f94b74fec/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• At maturity, ovaries and testes produce haploid (n) gametes
• Gametes are only types of human cells produced by meiosis (23 chroms, 1 from each pair)
![Page 15: Chapter 13 Meiosis. Fig. 13-1 I. Inheritance of Genes Genes = segments of DNA Genes are passed by gametes (sperm and eggs) Each gene has a specific location.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e745503460f94b74fec/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

V. Stages of Meiosis
• First cell division (meiosis I), homologous chroms separate
• Meiosis I = two haploid daughter cells with replicated chrom; reductional division
• Second cell division (meiosis II), sister chromatids separate
• Meiosis II = four haploid daughter cells with unreplicated chroms; equational division

Prophase I
• Occupies more than 90% of time needed for meiosis
• Chromosomes condense
• Synapsis = homologous chroms loosely pair up, aligned gene by gene
VI. Meiosis I
![Page 22: Chapter 13 Meiosis. Fig. 13-1 I. Inheritance of Genes Genes = segments of DNA Genes are passed by gametes (sperm and eggs) Each gene has a specific location.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e745503460f94b74fec/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Crossing over = nonsister chromatids exchange DNA segments
• Each pair of chromosomes forms a tetrad, a group of four chromatids
• Usually has one or more chiasmata, X-shaped regions where crossing over occurred
![Page 23: Chapter 13 Meiosis. Fig. 13-1 I. Inheritance of Genes Genes = segments of DNA Genes are passed by gametes (sperm and eggs) Each gene has a specific location.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e745503460f94b74fec/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Metaphase I
• Tetrads line up at the metaphase plate, one chrom facing each pole
• Microtubules attached to the kinetochore of each chromosome of each tetrad
![Page 24: Chapter 13 Meiosis. Fig. 13-1 I. Inheritance of Genes Genes = segments of DNA Genes are passed by gametes (sperm and eggs) Each gene has a specific location.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e745503460f94b74fec/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Anaphase I
• Pairs of homologous chroms separate, sister chromatids remain attached
![Page 26: Chapter 13 Meiosis. Fig. 13-1 I. Inheritance of Genes Genes = segments of DNA Genes are passed by gametes (sperm and eggs) Each gene has a specific location.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e745503460f94b74fec/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Telophase I and Cytokinesis
• Each half of the cell has a haploid set of chroms; each chrom still consists of two sister chromatids
• Cytokinesis forms two haploid daughter cells
• No chrom replication occurs between meiosis I and meiosis II
![Page 27: Chapter 13 Meiosis. Fig. 13-1 I. Inheritance of Genes Genes = segments of DNA Genes are passed by gametes (sperm and eggs) Each gene has a specific location.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e745503460f94b74fec/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Metaphase II
• Sister chromatids are arranged at the metaphase plate
• Because of crossing over in meiosis I, the two sister chromatids of each chromosome are no longer genetically identical
• Kinetochores attach to microtubules
![Page 30: Chapter 13 Meiosis. Fig. 13-1 I. Inheritance of Genes Genes = segments of DNA Genes are passed by gametes (sperm and eggs) Each gene has a specific location.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e745503460f94b74fec/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Anaphase II
• Sister chromatids separate
• Sister chromatids of each chrom now move as two newly individual chroms
![Page 32: Chapter 13 Meiosis. Fig. 13-1 I. Inheritance of Genes Genes = segments of DNA Genes are passed by gametes (sperm and eggs) Each gene has a specific location.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e745503460f94b74fec/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Telophase II and Cytokinesis
• Nuclei form, and the chroms begin decondensing
• Cytokinesis makes four daughter cells, each with a haploid set of unreplicated chroms
• Daughter cells are genetically distinct from the others and from the parent cell
![Page 33: Chapter 13 Meiosis. Fig. 13-1 I. Inheritance of Genes Genes = segments of DNA Genes are passed by gametes (sperm and eggs) Each gene has a specific location.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e745503460f94b74fec/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

VIII. Comparison of Mitosis and Meiosis
• Mitosis keeps the number of chromosomes the same, producing cells that are genetically identical to the parent
• Meiosis reduces the number of chromosomes sets from two (diploid) to one (haploid), producing cells that differ genetically from each other and from the parent
• Mechanism for separating sister chromatids is virtually identical in meiosis II and mitosis
![Page 36: Chapter 13 Meiosis. Fig. 13-1 I. Inheritance of Genes Genes = segments of DNA Genes are passed by gametes (sperm and eggs) Each gene has a specific location.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e745503460f94b74fec/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Enables multicellular adult to arise fromzygote; produces cells for growth, repair,and, in some species, asexual reproduction
Occurs during interphase before meiosis I begins
Two, each including prophase, metaphase, anaphase, andtelophase
Occurs during prophase I along with crossing overbetween nonsister chromatids; resulting chiasmatahold pairs together due to sister chromatid cohesion
Four, each haploid (n), containing half as many chromosomesas the parent cell; genetically different from the parentcell and from each other
Produces gametes; reduces number of chromosomes by halfand introduces genetic variability among the gametes
![Page 38: Chapter 13 Meiosis. Fig. 13-1 I. Inheritance of Genes Genes = segments of DNA Genes are passed by gametes (sperm and eggs) Each gene has a specific location.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e745503460f94b74fec/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• Three events are unique to meiosis (all three occur in meiosis l):
– Synapsis and crossing over in prophase I: Homologous chromosomes physically connect and exchange genetic information
– At the metaphase plate, there are paired homologous chromosomes (tetrads), instead of individual replicated chromosomes
– At anaphase I, it is homologous chromosomes, instead of sister chromatids, that separate

IX. Genetic Variation in Offspring
• Mvmt of chroms during meiosis and fert gives variation
• Mutations (changes in DNA) are original source of genetic diversity
• Mutations create different versions of genes (alleles, A or a)
• Reshuffling of alleles during sexual reproduction produces genetic variation
![Page 41: Chapter 13 Meiosis. Fig. 13-1 I. Inheritance of Genes Genes = segments of DNA Genes are passed by gametes (sperm and eggs) Each gene has a specific location.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e745503460f94b74fec/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
A. Independent Assortment of Chromosomes
• Homologous chroms orient randomly at metaphase I of meiosis
• Each pair of chroms sorts maternal and paternal homologues into daughter cells independently of the other pairs
• Number of combinations possible is 2n, where n is the haploid number
• Humans (n = 23), there are more than 8 million (223) possible combinations

B. Crossing Over
• Produces recombinant chromosomes (combine genes inherited from each parent)
• Begins in prophase I, as homologous chroms pair up gene by gene
• Homologous portions of two nonsister chromatids trade places
• Variations come from combining DNA from two parents into a single chromosome

C. Random Fertilization
• Variation arises because any sperm can fuse with any ovum (unfertilized egg)
• Fusion of two gametes (each with 8.4 million possible combinations from ind assort) produces a zygote with about 70 trillion diploid combinations
• Crossing over adds even more variation

X. Evolution and Genetic Variation
• Natural selection results in the accumulation of genetic variations favored by the environment
• Sexual reproduction contributes to the genetic variation in a population, which originates from mutations

You should now be able to:
1. Distinguish between the following terms: somatic cell and gamete; autosome and sex chromosomes; haploid and diploid
2. Describe the events that characterize each phase of meiosis
3. Describe three events that occur during meiosis I but not mitosis
4. Name and explain the three events that contribute to genetic variation in sexually reproducing organisms
