Meiosis and Sexual

Life CyclesSlide2

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 variationHeredity is the transmission of traits from one generation to the nextVariation is demonstrated by the differences in appearance that offspring show from parents and siblings

Fig. 13-1Slide4

Concept 13.1: Offspring acquire genes from parents by inheriting chromosomes

In a literal sense, children do not inherit particular physical traits from their parents

It is genes that are actually inherited

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin CummingsSlide5

Inheritance of Genes

Genes

are the units of heredity, and are made up of segments of DNA

Genes are passed to the next generation through reproductive cells called gametes (sperm and eggs) Each gene has a specific location called a locus

on a certain chromosomeMost DNA is packaged into chromosomesOne set of chromosomes is inherited from each parent

Comparison of Asexual and Sexual Reproduction

In

asexual reproduction

, one parent produces genetically identical offspring by mitosisA clone is a group of genetically identical individuals from the same parentIn sexual reproduction, two parents give rise to offspring that have unique combinations of genes inherited from the two parents

Concept 13.2: Fertilization and meiosis alternate in sexual life cycles

A

life cycle

is the generation-to-generation sequence of stages in the reproductive history of an organism

Sets of Chromosomes in Human Cells

Human

somatic cells

(any cell other than a gamete) have 23 pairs of chromosomesA karyotype is an ordered display of the pairs of chromosomes from a cell The two chromosomes in each pair are called homologous chromosomes, or homologs

Chromosomes in a homologous pair are the same length and carry genes controlling the same inherited characters

The

sex chromosomes

are called X and Y

Human females have a homologous pair of X chromosomes (XX)Human males have one X and one Y chromosomeThe 22 pairs of chromosomes that do not determine sex are called autosomes

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin CummingsSlide16

Each pair of homologous chromosomes includes one chromosome from each parent

The 46 chromosomes in a human somatic cell are two sets of 23: one from the mother and one from the father

A

diploid cell (2n) has two sets of chromosomesFor humans, the diploid number is 46 (2n = 46)

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin CummingsSlide17

In a cell in which DNA synthesis has occurred, each chromosome is replicated

Each replicated chromosome consists of two identical sister chromatids

A gamete (sperm or egg) contains a single set of chromosomes, and is

haploid

(

n)For humans, the haploid number is 23 (n = 23)Each set of 23 consists of 22 autosomes and a single sex chromosomeIn an unfertilized egg (ovum), the sex chromosome is XIn a sperm cell, the sex chromosome may be either X or Y

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin CummingsSlide20

Fertilization

is the union of gametes (the sperm and the egg)

The fertilized egg is called a

zygote and has one set of chromosomes from each parent The zygote produces somatic cells by mitosis and develops into an adult

Behavior of Chromosome Sets in the Human Life Cycle

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin CummingsSlide21

At sexual maturity, the ovaries and testes produce haploid gametes

Gametes are the only types of human cells produced by

meiosis

, rather than mitosisMeiosis results in one set of chromosomes in each gameteFertilization and meiosis alternate in sexual life cycles to maintain chromosome number

The Variety of Sexual Life Cycles

The alternation of meiosis and fertilization is common to all organisms that reproduce sexually

The three main types of sexual life cycles differ in the timing of meiosis and fertilization

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin CummingsSlide24

In animals, meiosis produces gametes, which undergo no further cell division before fertilization

Gametes are the only haploid cells in animals

Gametes fuse to form a diploid zygote that divides by mitosis to develop into a multicellular organism

Depending on the type of life cycle, either haploid or diploid cells can divide by mitosis

However, only diploid cells can undergo meiosis

In all three life cycles, the halving and doubling of chromosomes contributes to genetic variation in offspring

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin CummingsSlide33

Concept 13.3: Meiosis reduces the number of chromosome sets from diploid to haploid

Like mitosis, meiosis is preceded by the replication of chromosomes

Meiosis takes place in two sets of cell divisions, called

meiosis I and meiosis IIThe two cell divisions result in four daughter cells, rather than the two daughter cells in mitosisEach daughter cell has only half as many chromosomes as the parent cell

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin CummingsSlide34

The Stages of Meiosis

In the first cell division (meiosis I), homologous chromosomes separate

Meiosis I results in two haploid daughter cells with replicated chromosomes; it is called the reductional division

In the second cell division (meiosis II), sister chromatids separateMeiosis II results in four haploid daughter cells with unreplicated chromosomes; it is called the equational division

Prophase I

Prophase I typically occupies more than 90% of the time required for meiosis

Chromosomes begin to condense

In synapsis, homologous chromosomes loosely pair up, aligned gene by gene

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin CummingsSlide43

In

crossing over

, nonsister chromatids exchange DNA segments

Each pair of chromosomes forms a tetrad, a group of four chromatidsEach tetrad usually has one or more chiasmata, X-shaped regions where crossing over occurred

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin CummingsSlide44

Metaphase I

In metaphase I, tetrads line up at the metaphase plate, with one chromosome facing each pole

Microtubules from one pole are attached to the kinetochore of one chromosome of each tetrad

Microtubules from the other pole are attached to the kinetochore of the other chromosome

Anaphase I

In anaphase I, pairs of homologous chromosomes separate

One chromosome moves toward each pole, guided by the spindle apparatus

Sister chromatids remain attached at the centromere and move as one unit toward the pole

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin CummingsSlide47

Telophase I and Cytokinesis

In the beginning of telophase I, each half of the cell has a haploid set of chromosomes; each chromosome still consists of two sister chromatids

Cytokinesis usually occurs simultaneously, forming two haploid daughter cells

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin CummingsSlide48

In animal cells, a cleavage furrow forms; in plant cells, a cell plate forms

No chromosome replication occurs between the end of meiosis I and the beginning of meiosis II because the chromosomes are already replicated

In prophase II, a spindle apparatus forms

In late prophase II, chromosomes (each still composed of two chromatids) move toward the metaphase plate

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin CummingsSlide53

Metaphase II

In metaphase II, the 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

The kinetochores of sister chromatids attach to microtubules extending from opposite poles

Telophase II and Cytokinesis

In telophase II, the chromosomes arrive at opposite poles

Nuclei form, and the chromosomes begin decondensing

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin CummingsSlide57

Cytokinesis separates the cytoplasm

At the end of meiosis, there are four daughter cells, each with a haploid set of unreplicated chromosomes

Each daughter cell is genetically distinct from the others and from the parent cell

A Comparison of Mitosis and Meiosis

Mitosis conserves the number of chromosome sets, producing cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell

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 cell

The mechanism for separating sister chromatids is virtually identical in meiosis II and mitosis

Three events are unique to meiosis, and 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

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin CummingsSlide64

Sister chromatid cohesion allows sister chromatids of a single chromosome to stay together through meiosis I

Protein complexes called cohesins are responsible for this cohesion

In mitosis, cohesins are cleaved at the end of metaphase

In meiosis, cohesins are cleaved along the chromosome arms in anaphase I (separation of homologs) and at the centromeres in anaphase II (separation of sister chromatids)

Concept 13.4: Genetic variation produced in sexual life cycles contributes to evolution

Mutations (changes in an organism’s DNA) are the original source of genetic diversity

Mutations create different versions of genes called alleles

Reshuffling of alleles during sexual reproduction produces genetic variation

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin CummingsSlide69

Origins of Genetic Variation Among Offspring

The behavior of chromosomes during meiosis and fertilization is responsible for most of the variation that arises in each generation

Three mechanisms contribute to genetic variation:

Independent assortment of chromosomesCrossing overRandom fertilization

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin CummingsSlide70

Independent Assortment of Chromosomes

Homologous pairs of chromosomes orient randomly at metaphase I of meiosis

In independent assortment, each pair of chromosomes sorts maternal and paternal homologues into daughter cells independently of the other pairs

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin CummingsSlide71

The number of combinations possible when chromosomes assort independently into gametes is 2

n

, where

n is the haploid numberFor humans (n = 23), there are more than 8 million (223) possible combinations of chromosomes

Crossing Over

Crossing over produces

recombinant chromosomes

, which combine genes inherited from each parentCrossing over begins very early in prophase I, as homologous chromosomes pair up gene by gene

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin CummingsSlide76

In crossing over, homologous portions of two nonsister chromatids trade places

Crossing over contributes to genetic variation by combining DNA from two parents into a single chromosome

Random Fertilization

Random fertilization adds to genetic variation because any sperm can fuse with any ovum (unfertilized egg)

The fusion of two gametes (each with 8.4 million possible chromosome combinations from independent assortment) produces a zygote with any of about 70 trillion diploid combinations

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin CummingsSlide83

Crossing over adds even more variation

Each zygote has a unique genetic identity

The Evolutionary Significance of Genetic Variation Within Populations

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:

Distinguish between the following terms: somatic cell and gamete; autosome and sex chromosomes; haploid and diploid

Describe the events that characterize each phase of meiosis

Describe three events that occur during meiosis I but not mitosisName and explain the three events that contribute to genetic variation in sexually reproducing organisms
