PPT-Diagram a cell with four chromosomes going through meiosis.

Mitosis vs Meiosis Mitosis One division 2 diploid daughter cells Identical to parent cell Mitosis Two divisions 4 haploid daughter cells Genetically different from parent cell httphigheredmcgrawhillcomsites0072495855studentview0chapter28animationhowmeiosisworkshtml. 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 . Dr. . Debbie Payne, Ruth H. Liddell, Shirley K. Scarbrough. Alabama State University, Math, Science Partnership, . Summer 2013. CROSSING OVER. When does it occur?. Why is it important?. Meiosis in Lily. Each organism must inherit a single copy of every gene from each of its “parents.”. Gametes. are formed by a process that separates the two sets of genes so that each gamete ends up with just one set.. Chapter 12. Outline. Introduction. Asexual. Sexual Reproduction. The Phases of Meiosis. Division I. Division II. Alternation . of Generations. Introduction. Asexual . Reproduction . - . p. roduction . 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 8. Asexual vs. Sexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction – new organisms/cells are genetically identical to parent cells/organisms . Sexual reproduction – offspring have a combination of genes from both parents. . Key Concepts:. What happens during the process of meiosis?. How is meiosis different from mitosis?. Types of . Reproduction. Section 11-4. ASEXUAL. SEXUAL. 1. One Parent. 2. Binary fission (in prokaryotes) or mitosis in (eukaryotes).. 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 (Ch 11.4) Background Chromosome = package form of DNA in a cell Genes = genetically inherited traits Genes normally have two alleles per gene (there are some exceptions like ABO blood type) 6.1 Chromosomes and Meiosis. Cells can be divided into 2 major groups:. Somatic (body): most of body tissue and organs. Germ: found in reproductive organs, develop into gametes. Gametes are sex cells – ova (eggs) & spermatozoa (sperm). Haploid. Chromosome. Chromatid. Chromatin. Crossing Over. Tetrad. Gene –A segment of genetic information on a chromosome. Codes for a specific . characteristic. Allele – A specific form of a gene. INTERPHASE – G . FUNCTION. This . is the part of the cell cycle (and first part of interphase) where the cell is increasing in size (by synthesizing cytoplasmic components). It contains one copy of each chromosome in this stage (or 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes). . Good progress:. Describe how sexual. reproduction results in genetic variation. Draw diagrams to explain how gametes are formed in meiosis. . Outstanding progress:. Explain the number of chromosomes in the gametes during meiosis and fertilisation. . 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.
