PPT-1 2 The Role of Meiosis in Sexual Life Cycles

Copyright 2002 Pearson Education Inc publishing as Benjamin Cummings Cell Cycle 3 A life cycle of an organism is the generationtogeneration sequence of stages in its reproductive history. 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 . Chapter 12. Outline. Introduction. Asexual. Sexual Reproduction. The Phases of Meiosis. Division I. Division II. Alternation . of Generations. Introduction. Asexual . 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. 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?. 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. 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?. Yvonne Norman. Edited By: . Ms. . Ethridge. , Ms. Myers, Ms. . Milstead. , and Ms. Palermo. Objectives. Define mitosis.. Define meiosis.. Analyze function of mitosis and meiosis in cell differentiation.. 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! . 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. 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.

Answer the following questions on the back of your review sheet.. 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. 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. 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.
