9.1 Genes and Alleles
Genes
• Sequences of DNA that encode heritable traits
Alleles
• Slightly different forms of the same gene
• Each specifies a different version of gene product
![Page 3: Meiosis and Sexual Reproduction - Weeblyniftyscience.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/3/6/10361338/chapter9_studen… · STAGES OF MEIOSIS Diploid cells have a pair of each type of chromosome,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052100/6039a11adc07a8257d4b0038/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Sexual and Asexual Reproduction
Asexual reproduction (1 parent)
• Offspring inherit parent’s genes
• Clones (identical copies of parent)
Sexual reproduction (2 parents)
• Offspring differ from parents and each another
• Different combinations of alleles
• Different details of shared traits
![Page 4: Meiosis and Sexual Reproduction - Weeblyniftyscience.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/3/6/10361338/chapter9_studen… · STAGES OF MEIOSIS Diploid cells have a pair of each type of chromosome,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052100/6039a11adc07a8257d4b0038/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Sexual Reproduction
Meiosis, gamete formation, and fertilization
occur in sexual reproduction
Meiosis and fertilization shuffle parental alleles
• Offspring inherit new combinations of alleles
![Page 5: Meiosis and Sexual Reproduction - Weeblyniftyscience.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/3/6/10361338/chapter9_studen… · STAGES OF MEIOSIS Diploid cells have a pair of each type of chromosome,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052100/6039a11adc07a8257d4b0038/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Key Concepts:
SEXUAL VS. ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
By asexual reproduction, one parent alone
transmits its genetic information to offspring
By sexual reproduction, offspring typically inherit
information from two parents that differ in their
alleles
Alleles are different forms of the same gene;
they specify different versions of a trait
![Page 6: Meiosis and Sexual Reproduction - Weeblyniftyscience.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/3/6/10361338/chapter9_studen… · STAGES OF MEIOSIS Diploid cells have a pair of each type of chromosome,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052100/6039a11adc07a8257d4b0038/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
9.2 What Meiosis Does
Meiosis
• Nuclear division mechanism that precedes
gamete formation in eukaryotic cells
• Halves parental chromosome number
Fertilization
• Fusion of two gamete nuclei
• Restores parental chromosome number
• Forms zygote (first cell of new individual)
![Page 7: Meiosis and Sexual Reproduction - Weeblyniftyscience.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/3/6/10361338/chapter9_studen… · STAGES OF MEIOSIS Diploid cells have a pair of each type of chromosome,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052100/6039a11adc07a8257d4b0038/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Homologues
Sexual reproducers inherit pairs of chromosomes
• 1 from maternal parent, 1 from paternal parent
The pairs are homologous (“the same”)
• Except nonidentical sex chromosomes (X and Y)
• Same length, shape, genes
All pairs interact at meiosis
• One chromosome of each type sorts into gametes
![Page 9: Meiosis and Sexual Reproduction - Weeblyniftyscience.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/3/6/10361338/chapter9_studen… · STAGES OF MEIOSIS Diploid cells have a pair of each type of chromosome,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052100/6039a11adc07a8257d4b0038/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
9.3 Tour of Meiosis
All chromosomes are duplicated during
interphase, before meiosis
Two divisions, meiosis I and II, divide the
parental chromosome number by two
Each forthcoming gamete is haploid (n)
![Page 10: Meiosis and Sexual Reproduction - Weeblyniftyscience.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/3/6/10361338/chapter9_studen… · STAGES OF MEIOSIS Diploid cells have a pair of each type of chromosome,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052100/6039a11adc07a8257d4b0038/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Meiosis I
The first nuclear division
Each duplicated chromosome lines up with its
homologous partner
The two homologous chromosomes move apart,
toward opposite spindle poles
![Page 11: Meiosis and Sexual Reproduction - Weeblyniftyscience.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/3/6/10361338/chapter9_studen… · STAGES OF MEIOSIS Diploid cells have a pair of each type of chromosome,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052100/6039a11adc07a8257d4b0038/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Prophase I
Chromosomes condense and align tightly with
their homologues
Each homologous pair undergoes crossing over
Microtubules form the bipolar spindle
One pair of centrioles moves to the other side of
the nucleus
![Page 12: Meiosis and Sexual Reproduction - Weeblyniftyscience.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/3/6/10361338/chapter9_studen… · STAGES OF MEIOSIS Diploid cells have a pair of each type of chromosome,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052100/6039a11adc07a8257d4b0038/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Prophase I (cont.)
Nuclear envelope breaks up
• Microtubules growing from
each spindle pole penetrate
the nuclear region
Microtubules tether one or
the other chromosome of
each homologous pair
![Page 13: Meiosis and Sexual Reproduction - Weeblyniftyscience.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/3/6/10361338/chapter9_studen… · STAGES OF MEIOSIS Diploid cells have a pair of each type of chromosome,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052100/6039a11adc07a8257d4b0038/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Metaphase I
Microtubules from both poles position all pairs of
homologous chromosomes at the spindle
equator
![Page 14: Meiosis and Sexual Reproduction - Weeblyniftyscience.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/3/6/10361338/chapter9_studen… · STAGES OF MEIOSIS Diploid cells have a pair of each type of chromosome,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052100/6039a11adc07a8257d4b0038/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Anaphase I
Microtubules separate each
chromosome from its
homologue, moving to
opposite spindle poles
Other microtubules overlap
midway between spindle
poles, slide past each other
to push poles farther apart
As anaphase I ends, one set
of duplicated chromosomes
nears each spindle pole
![Page 15: Meiosis and Sexual Reproduction - Weeblyniftyscience.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/3/6/10361338/chapter9_studen… · STAGES OF MEIOSIS Diploid cells have a pair of each type of chromosome,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052100/6039a11adc07a8257d4b0038/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Telophase I
Two nuclei form
• Typically, the cytoplasm
divides
All chromosomes are still
duplicated
• Each still consists of
two sister chromatids
![Page 16: Meiosis and Sexual Reproduction - Weeblyniftyscience.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/3/6/10361338/chapter9_studen… · STAGES OF MEIOSIS Diploid cells have a pair of each type of chromosome,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052100/6039a11adc07a8257d4b0038/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Meiosis II
The second nuclear
division
Sister chromatids of
each chromosome are
pulled away from each
other
Each is now an
individual chromosome
Prophase II Metaphase II
![Page 17: Meiosis and Sexual Reproduction - Weeblyniftyscience.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/3/6/10361338/chapter9_studen… · STAGES OF MEIOSIS Diploid cells have a pair of each type of chromosome,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052100/6039a11adc07a8257d4b0038/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Anaphase II and Telophase II
In anaphase II, one
chromosome of each
type is moved toward
opposite spindle poles
• Occurs in both nuclei
formed in meiosis I
By the end of telophase
II, there are four haploid
nuclei, each with
unduplicated
chromosomes
Anaphase II Telophase II
![Page 18: Meiosis and Sexual Reproduction - Weeblyniftyscience.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/3/6/10361338/chapter9_studen… · STAGES OF MEIOSIS Diploid cells have a pair of each type of chromosome,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052100/6039a11adc07a8257d4b0038/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Chromosomes were duplicated earlier, in interphase.
Prior to metaphase I, one set of microtubules had tethered one chromosome of each type to one spindle pole and another set tethered its homologue to the other spindle pole.
One of each duplicated chromosome, maternal or paternal, moves to a spindle pole; its homologue moves to the opposite pole.
One of each type of chromosome has arrived at a spindle pole. In most species, the cytoplasm divides at this time.

Haploid Daughter Cells
When cytoplasm divides, four haploid cells result
One or all may serve as gametes or, in plants,
as spores that lead to gamete-producing bodies

Key Concepts:
STAGES OF MEIOSIS
Diploid cells have a pair of each type of
chromosome, one maternal and one paternal
Meiosis, a nuclear division mechanism, reduces
the chromosome number
Meiosis occurs only in cells set aside for sexual
reproduction

Key Concepts:
STAGES OF MEIOSIS (cont.)
Meiosis sorts out a reproductive cell’s
chromosomes into four haploid nuclei
Haploid nuclei are distributed to daughter cells
by way of cytoplasmic division

9.4 Meiosis Introduces Variation in Traits
Two events in meiosis cause variation in traits in
sexually reproducing species
• Crossing over during prophase I of meiosis
• Chromosome shuffling during metaphase I of
meiosis
![Page 25: Meiosis and Sexual Reproduction - Weeblyniftyscience.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/3/6/10361338/chapter9_studen… · STAGES OF MEIOSIS Diploid cells have a pair of each type of chromosome,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052100/6039a11adc07a8257d4b0038/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Prophase I: Crossing Over
Nonsister chromatids of homologous
chromosomes undergo crossing over
• They exchange segments at the same place
along their length
Each ends up with new combinations of alleles
not present in either parental chromosome
![Page 26: Meiosis and Sexual Reproduction - Weeblyniftyscience.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/3/6/10361338/chapter9_studen… · STAGES OF MEIOSIS Diploid cells have a pair of each type of chromosome,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052100/6039a11adc07a8257d4b0038/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Metaphase I: Chromosome Shuffling
Homologous chromosomes align randomly
during metaphase I
Microtubules can harness either a maternal or
paternal chromosome of each homologous pair
to either spindle pole
Either chromosome may end up in any new
nucleus (gamete)

Key Concepts: CHROMOSOME
RECOMBINATION AND SHUFFLING
During meiosis, each pair of maternal and
paternal chromosomes swaps segments and
exchanges alleles
Pairs get randomly shuffled, so forthcoming
gametes end up with different mixes of maternal
and paternal chromosomes

9.5 From Gametes to Offspring
Multicelled diploid and haploid bodies are typical
in life cycles of plants and animals
Plants
• Sporophyte: A multicelled plant body (diploid) that
makes haploid spores
• Spores give rise to gametophytes (multicelled
plant bodies in which haploid gametes form)
![Page 38: Meiosis and Sexual Reproduction - Weeblyniftyscience.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/3/6/10361338/chapter9_studen… · STAGES OF MEIOSIS Diploid cells have a pair of each type of chromosome,](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052100/6039a11adc07a8257d4b0038/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
From Gametes to Offspring
Animals
• Germ cells in the reproductive organs give rise to
sperm or eggs
• Fusion of a sperm and egg at fertilization results
in a zygote

Introducing Variation in Offspring
Three events cause new combinations of alleles
in offspring:
• Crossing over during prophase I (meiosis)
• Random alignment of maternal and paternal
chromosomes at metaphase I (meiosis)
• Chance meeting of gametes at fertilization
All three contribute to variation in traits

Key Concepts: SEXUAL
REPRODUCTION IN LIFE CYCLES
In animals, gametes form by different
mechanisms in males and females
In most plants, spore formation and other events
intervene between meiosis and gamete
formation

9.6 Comparing Mitosis and Meiosis
Both mitosis and meiosis require bipolar spindle
to move and sort duplicated chromosomes
Some mechanisms of meiosis resemble those of
mitosis, and may have evolved from them
• Example: DNA repair enzymes function in both

Differences in Mitosis and Meiosis
Mitosis maintains parental chromosome number
• Duplicates genetic information
• Occurs in body cells
Meiosis halves chromosome number
• Introduces new combinations of alleles in
offspring
• Occurs only in cells for sexual reproduction

Key Concepts:
MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS COMPARED
Recent molecular evidence suggests that
meiosis originated through mechanisms that
already existed for mitosis and, before that, for
repairing damaged DNA
