Chromosomes in Reproductive Cells Introduction Sexual reproduction is a process that creates a new organism by combining the genetic material of two organisms There are two main steps in sexual rep. 4 grams of sugar = 1 teaspoon of sugar Red Bull, an energy drink = 6 teaspoonsVitamin Water, a flavored water = 8 teaspoonsMountain Dew - Code Red = 19 teaspoons Strawberry milk tea with tapioca -16 o Homologous chromosomes . – identical chromosomes. . …same length, . centromere. , same staining pattern. . …exception…males sex chromosome. 1-22 . autosomes. . sex . chromsomes.

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. 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. Illustrate the steps of meiosis. Describe the roles of crossing over and independent assortment in meiosis . Explain the importance of meiosis to living organisms. Words to know. Crossing over. - the process by which genetic material is exchanged by non-sister chromatids during prophase I of meiosis. Alteration of Chromosome Structure. Breakage of a chromosome can lead to four types of changes in chromosome structure:. Deletion . removes a chromosomal segment. Duplication . repeats a segment. Inversion .
