PPT-0 13 Meiosis and Sexual Life Cycles

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.

Reproduction . - . p. roduction . Meiosis. Meiosis is the cell division which produces the . sex cells . or . gametes. .. Meiosis occurs in the cells of the . reproductive organs. :. Sperm cells – testes. Ova (eggs) – ovaries. Pollen - anthers. 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. Before we start genetics, let's review the process of what makes us all look different compared to our siblings, family, and classmates!. Sexual Reproduction. Sexual reproduction creates genetic variability. That is why we all look different and you look different from your siblings! . Review of Mitosis. Mitosis is a form of . asexual reproduction. This means that it . only requires 1 organism . (ex. Skin cells dividing). For growth and repair in . somatic. (body) cells!. Results in 2 cells identical to the original (parent) cell. Cells Alive- . http://. cellsalive.com/meiosis.htm. . Meiosis animation. http://. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVMb4Js99tA. .

A . life cycle. of an organism is the generation-to-generation sequence of stages in its reproductive history.. 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. . .
