PPT-Meiosis Sexual Division of Cells

Gamete vs Zygote What is a Gamete Egg amp Sperm What is a Zygote When two gametes come together fertilization Why your body can not use mitosis to make sperm or eggs A typical cell in your body has 46 chromosomes 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes Suppose that human sperm and eggs were produced by mitosis How many chromosomes would each sperm or egg have. 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 . Organisms that reproduce sexually have specialized cells called gametes (sex cells). Gametes are the result of a type of cell division called meiosis. Diploid and haploid. Almost all human cells are . 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 fly’s male parent, and 4 of which came from the fly’s female parent.. 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. 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).. 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. 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 Standard: . recognize the significance of meiosis to sexual reproduction. . . [. BIO.6G. ]. describe the stages of the cell cycle, including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) replication and mitosis, and the importance of the cell cycle to the growth of organisms. Vocabulary. Somatic Cell. Gamete. Homologous Chromosomes. Diploid Cells ( 2n ). Haploid Cells ( n ). Normal body cell. Sex cell – sperm or egg. Matching pairs of chromosomes. Cells that have homologous chromosomes (somatic cells). Cell division / Asexual reproduction. Mitosis. produce cells with same information. identical daughter cells. exact copies. clones. same amount of DNA . same number of chromosomes. same genetic information. Learning objective This learning material is about the life cycle of a cell and the series of stages by which genetic materials are duplicated and partitioned to produce two daughter cells with the 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
