Meiosis and Sexual Life Cycles
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Overview: Hereditary Similarity and Variation
• Living organisms
– Are distinguished by their ability to reproduce their own kind
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Heredity
– Is the transmission of traits from one generation to the next
• Variation
– Shows that offspring differ somewhat in appearance from parents and siblings

• Genetics
– Is the scientific study of heredity and hereditary variation
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Concept 13.1: Offspring acquire genes from parents by inheriting chromosomes
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Inheritance of Genes
• Genes
– Are the units of heredity
– Are segments of DNA
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Each gene in an organism’s DNA
– Has a specific locus on a certain chromosome
• We inherit
– One set of chromosomes from our mother and one set from our father
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Comparison of Asexual and Sexual Reproduction
• In asexual reproduction
– One parent produces genetically identical offspring by mitosis

• In sexual reproduction
– Two parents give rise to offspring that have unique combinations of genes inherited from the two parents
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Concept 13.2: Fertilization and meiosis alternate in sexual life cycles
• A life cycle
– Is the generation-to-generation sequence of stages in the reproductive history of an organism
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Sets of Chromosomes in Human Cells
• In humans
– Each somatic cell has 46 chromosomes, made up of two sets
– One set of chromosomes comes from each parent

• A karyotype
– Is an ordered, visual representation of the chromosomes in a cell
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Homologous chromosomes
– Are the two chromosomes composing a pair
– Have the same characteristics
– May also be called autosomes
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Sex chromosomes
– Are distinct from each other in their characteristics
– Are represented as X and Y
– Determine the sex of the individual, XX being female, XY being male
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• A diploid cell
– Has two sets of each of its chromosomes
– In a human has 46 chromosomes (2n = 46)
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• In a cell in which DNA synthesis has occurred
– All the chromosomes are duplicated and thus each consists of two identical sister chromatids

Centromere
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Unlike somatic cells
– Gametes, sperm and egg cells are haploid cells, containing only one set of chromosomes
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Behavior of Chromosome Sets in the Human Life Cycle
• At sexual maturity
– The ovaries and testes produce haploid gametes by meiosis
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• During fertilization
– These gametes, sperm and ovum, fuse, forming a diploid zygote
• The zygote
– Develops into an adult organism

The Variety of Sexual Life Cycles
• The three main types of sexual life cycles
– Differ in the timing of meiosis and fertilization
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• In animals
– Meiosis occurs during gamete formation
– Gametes are the only haploid cells

• In most fungi and some protists
– Meiosis produces haploid cells that give rise to a haploid multicellular adult organism
– The haploid adult carries out mitosis, producing cells that will become gametes
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Concept 13.3: Meiosis reduces the number of chromosome sets from diploid to haploid
• Meiosis
– Takes place in two sets of divisions, meiosis I and meiosis II
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
The Stages of Meiosis
• An overview of meiosis

Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Meiosis I
– Reduces the number of chromosomes from diploid to haploid
• Meiosis II
– Produces four haploid daughter cells

A Comparison of Mitosis and Meiosis
• Meiosis and mitosis can be distinguished from mitosis
– By three events in Meiosis l
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Synapsis and crossing over
– Homologous chromosomes physically connect and exchange genetic information
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Tetrads on the metaphase plate
– At metaphase I of meiosis, paired homologous chromosomes (tetrads) are positioned on the metaphase plates
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Separation of homologues
– At anaphase I of meiosis, homologous pairs move toward opposite poles of the cell
– In anaphase II of meiosis, the sister chromatids separate

• Concept 13.4: Genetic variation produced in sexual life cycles contributes to evolution
• Reshuffling of genetic material in meiosis
– Produces genetic variation
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Origins of Genetic Variation Among Offspring
• In species that produce sexually
– The behavior of chromosomes during meiosis and fertilization is responsible for most of the variation that arises each generation
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Independent Assortment of Chromosomes
• Homologous pairs of chromosomes
– Orient randomly at metaphase I of meiosis
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• In independent assortment
– Each pair of chromosomes sorts its maternal and paternal homologues into daughter cells independently of the other pairs

Crossing Over
• Crossing over
– Produces recombinant chromosomes that carry genes derived from two different parents

Random Fertilization
• The fusion of gametes
– Will produce a zygote with any of about 64 trillion diploid combinations
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Evolutionary Significance of Genetic Variation Within Populations
• Genetic variation
– Is the raw material for evolution by natural selection
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Mutations
– Are the original source of genetic variation
• Sexual reproduction
– Produces new combinations of variant genes, adding more genetic diversity
