PPT-Chapter 13 Meiosis and Sexual

Life Cycles Overview Variations on a Theme Living organisms are distinguished by their ability to reproduce their own kind Genetics is the scientific study of heredity and variation Heredity . EQ:. What is the importance of meiosis in providing genetic variation?. . SPECIALIZED CELLS. You have many specialized cells in your body that can be divided into two groups. . 1. . . SOMATIC. = body cells; make up most of your . Please take out your science journal and outcomes and turn in any missing work to the WIRE basket. Thank you!. . Asexual Reproduction Review. Happens in almost all cells (Somatic cells). 1 parent cell. Chapter 10. Overview of Meiosis. 10.1. Overview of Meiosis. Meiosis. - type of nuclear division that reduces the chromosome number from the diploid number to the haploid number.. Gametes. - reproductive cells. Mrs. Stewart. Biology I . Stewarts Creek High School. Objectives:. Differentiate between the process of mitosis and meiosis. Demonstrate the movement of chromosomes throughout meiosis. Analyze how meiosis leads to genetic variation. Variations on a Theme. Living organisms are distinguished by their ability to reproduce their own kind. Heredity . is the transmission of traits from one generation to the next. Variation . is demonstrated by the differences in appearance that offspring show from parents and siblings. Copyright © 2002 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. Cell Cycle. 3. A . life cycle. of an organism is the generation-to-generation sequence of stages in its reproductive history.. 10.2 – Meiosis Sexual Reproduction Function: creates gametes (sperm, egg, pollen) for sexual reproduction . Meiosis: Cell division for sexual reproduction. Males - testes Females - ovaries Sex Cells Meiosis and Sexual Reproduction Chapter 6 Sexual Reproduction Sexual Reproduction – reproduction that requires two parents and produces offspring that are genetically different from each other and from either parent. Organisms that reproduce sexually are generally diploid: each cell contains two sets of chromosomes—a maternal chromosome set and a paternal chromosome set—one inherited from each parent. . . Google Images. Illustrate the steps of meiosis. Describe the roles of crossing over and independent assortment in meiosis . Explain the importance of meiosis to living organisms. Words to know. Crossing over. - the process by which genetic material is exchanged by non-sister chromatids during prophase I of meiosis. 1. MEIOSIS AND SEXUAL LIFE . CYCLES. Heredity. = Continuity of biological traits from one generation to the . next. Variation. = Inherited differences among individuals of the same . species. Genetics. These phenomena observed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae are highly conserved in eukaryotes, thus rendering yeast, which is easy to use, an essential model organism. Researchers identified and studied fun 1 identify the stages of meiosis. Only diploid cells caages of meiosis in a diploid cell where 2N = 6Meiosis involves 2 consecutive cell divisions. Since the DNA is duplicated result is 4 haploid cel Defined. : Gametes from two separate parents unite. Meiosis: Diploid (2n) to haploid (n) cells . Mechanism that allows for . genetic diversity. Many eukaryotes reproduce in this manner. Plants, animals and fungi.
