Asexual vs Sexual
Asexual Reproduction Asexual Reproduction – mitosis • Requires only one parent• Produce genetically identical offspring• Carried out by bacteria, some plants and somatic
cells
Sexual ReproductionSexual Reproduction – meiosis & fertilization• Requires two parents• Produces genetically distinct offspring• Carried out by most animals and sex cells
(gametes)
Key TermsKey TermsGametes: haploid reproductive cells (i.e. egg and sperm) produced by meiosis.Haploids: cells that contain single, unpaired chromosomes; half as much as the parent cellFertilization: the fusion of two gametes.Zygote: the diploid cell created by fertilization.Diploid: a cell that contains pairs of homologous chromosomes
All together now…
Two haploid gametes, an egg from the mother and sperm from the father, are fertilized to form a diploid zygote which will grow into a baby.

• In Plants
Meiosis - OutcomesOutcomes
• Genetic reduction… Produces daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes than the parent cell
• Genetic recombination… daughter cells have different allele combinations from one another and their parents.– Increases genetic variation
Meiosis vs Mitosis Meiosis vs Mitosis
Meiosis occurs in two parts: Meiosis I and II– Mitosis is most like meiosis II
• Prophase I: homologous chromosomes align in a process known assynapsis. – Genetic material is
exchangedResembles prophase in mitosis
Mitosis vs Meiosis Mitosis vs Meiosis
• Metaphase I: homologous chromosomes line up along the equator of the cell – In mitosis, chromosomes line up in a single file
Metaphase IMetaphase II (like mitosis)
VS
Meiosis vs Mitosis Meiosis vs Mitosis
• Anaphase I: homologous chromosomes separate, centromeres remain intact– this is where the daughter cells become haploid
Meiosis vs Mitosis Meiosis vs Mitosis
In mitosis, each of the 46 chromosomes are treated separately. Homologous chromosomes exist in somatic cells, but they don’t align with each other as they do in meiosis I
Chromosomes line up at the equator in meiosis II similar to mitosis, however in meiosis II, haploid cells are being divided.

How are GAMETES formed?How are GAMETES formed?
• The products of meiosis are haploid gametes• The process of sperm production in males is
known as spermatogenesis.• Egg production in females is called oogenesis.
Spermatogenesis Spermatogenesis • Initial diploid cell
(spermatogonium) undergoes mitosis beginning puberty, then meiosis forming 4 haploid cells
• Following meiosis II, cell continue to develop into mature sperm:– The nucleus is organized into a
“head”region– Many mitochondria in the
midsection– Flagellum for locomotion
Oogenesis Oogenesis • Oogonia reproduce by mitosis, begin
meiosis but stop at Prophase I.• Meiosis I continues for one cell each
month beginning at puberty producing an unequal division of the cytoplasm
• The cell that receives most of the cytoplasm (larger haploid) contains many nutrients ideal for zygote growth and continues to Meiosis II
• The smaller cell is referred to a polar body and will degenerate
• Meiosis II produces a mature egg (ovum) and another polar body
Multiple BirthsMultiple Births
Fraternal Twins• Occurs when two eggs are released and both
are fertilized
Identical Twins• Occurs when a zygote divides into two
separate bodies in the first few days of development

4.2 Part 2: Genetic Variation4.2 Part 2: Genetic Variation
Genetic VariationGenetic Variation
We’ve seen that mitosis produces genetically identical offspring, while the process of meiosis introduces variation. BUT HOW????
1. By exchanging genetic material between maternal and paternal chromosomes during synapsis… Crossing Over
2. By creating gametes that carry different combinations of maternal and paternal chromosomes… Independent Assortment
Crossing OverCrossing Over
• Non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes exchange segments of DNA during synapsis (Prophase I)
• Results in a combination of maternal and paternal genes on individual chromosomes
• Crossing over can occur at several points along non-sister chromatids
Independent AssortmentIndependent Assortment• How one set of homologous chromosomes orients itself
along the equator of a cell (Metaphase I) is independent from how another pair is oriented
• This results in the ability to produce 2n combinations of genetically distinct gametes from a single diploid celln = # of chromosome pairs (humans: 223 = 8 388 608)
Errors During MeiosisErrors During Meiosis
Independent Assortment and Crossing Over produces genetic variation, but in the process, can also result in :
• Structural abnormalities (of chromosomes)• the production of abnormal gametes (non-
disjunction)
If gametes containing these errors are fertilized, they will produce a zygote (and therefore offspring) with the same chromosome abnormalities in every cell.
Structural AbnormalitiesStructural Abnormalities
During crossing over, chemical bonds holding DNA together are broken and reformed. •Errors result in incorrect reformation.
Types of Errors: 1.Deletion– a piece of a chromosome is missing2.Duplication– a section of a chromosome is repeated3.Inversion – a region of a chromosome is inverted4.Translocation – a segment of a chromosome is reattached in the wrong place
Non-DisjunctionNon-Disjunction
= the failure of chromosomes to separate properly during meiosis (Anaphase)
• Results in gametes with to many or too few chromosomes
When it occurs in Meiosis I
When it occurs in Meiosis II
