Chromosome number Phases of meiosis Meiosis and genetics Gamete formation Comparing mitosis and meiosis Chromosome number A cell in adult drosphilia fruit fly has 8 chromosomes 4 of which came from the flys male parent and 4 of which came from the flys female parent. Sexual Life Cycles. Which of the following transmits genes from both parents to child, or from one generation of a family to another?. DNA. gametes. somatic cells. mitosis. nucleotides. Which of the following transmits genes from both parents to child, or from one generation of a family to another?. Sexual Life Cycles. modes of reproduction. diploid/haploid and meiosis. meiosis I and meiosis II phases. key differences between mitosis and meiosis. variation in position of meiosis in life cycles. why sex?. Genetic Recombination. 1. Meiosis. Mitosis – asexual reproduction. Meiosis – sexual reproduction. Mitosis – 2 identical cells. Meiosis – 4 unique sex cells (sperm/eggs). 2. Meiosis. The . form of . 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).. Cells Alive- . http://. cellsalive.com/meiosis.htm. . Meiosis animation. http://. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVMb4Js99tA. . Meiosis Practice Test. Answer the following questions on the back of your review sheet.. 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 . 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 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). 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). . Gametes have half the number of chromosomes that body cells have.. You have body cells and gametes. . Body cells are also called somatic cells.. Germ cells develop into gametes.. Germ cells are located in the ovaries and testes.. Meiosis is the. . type of . cell division by which . germ cells . (eggs and sperm) . are produced. . One parent cell produces . four . daughter cells. . Daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes found in the parent cell. 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 Essential Idea: . Meiosis produces genetically-varied, haploid cells needed for sexual reproduction. 3.3.1 One diploid nucleus divides by meiosis to produce four haploid nuclei. Meiosis. . is a process that divides . 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.
