RESULTS IN 4 GENETICALLY UNIQUE HAPLOID DAUGHTER CELLS

Plant Meiosis (Lillium Anthers)

Meiosis occurs in the sporocytes (diploid cells within reproductive organs (sporangia) within the stamen) in plants. This turns the diploid sporocytes into haploid spores.

Alternation of Generations Lifecycle

Often found in plants


Have distinct diploid and haploid stages.


Haploid generation produces gametes == called gametophyte


Diploid generation produces spores == Sporophyte (where meiosis occurs to produce haploid spores)


Most plants are sporophyte dominant

Sporophyte

The diploid generation of a plant. Produces haploid spores via meiosis

Gametophyte

The haploid generation of a plant. Produces haploid gametes

Rhizome

A horizontal underground stem which bears roots

Sorus (pl. sori)

brown spots which grow on the bottom of fern leAves. Made of a cluster or reproductive sporangia. Inside sporangia, diploid sporocytes undergo meiosis to produces haploid spores.

Alternation of generations (Fern Specific Stages)

DIPLOID GENERATION


1. Diploid zygote formed from union f 2 haploid gametes


2. zygote grows on top of haploid gametophyte into a young sporophyte, which grows into a fern


3. Fern grows sporangia in sori underneath leaves


4. cells in sporangia undergo meiosis and produce spores.


HAPLOID GENERATION


1. haploid spores are released from diploid sporangium


2. spores germinate and develop into a young gametophyte which grows rhizoids


3. gametophyte is fully developed. (also called PROTHALLUS)


4. gametophyte producesreproductive organs, antheridium, (Develops into sperm), and archaegonium (develops into egg)


5. sperm fertilizes egg and develops into a diploid gamete

sorus prep

Label sporangium, sporangial stalk, spores

Chiasma

The crossing over point between 2 homologous chromosomes.

Mouse Life cycle


-- diploid dominant, but alternation

DIPLOID


1. DIploid zygote forms from the union of egg and sperm


2. zygote undergoes mitosis to grow into an embryo, then a juvenile, then an adult


3. adult mice produce egg or sperm in ovary or testis.


HAPLOID


1. haploid egg and sperm are released and joined together as a diploid zygote

Gregor Mendel

Austrian monk. 1866 he published papre about mendellian genetics. 2 laws

Mendel's 1st Law

The alleles of one gene segregate from one another during the formation of gametes




PRINCIPLE OF SEGREGATION

Mendel's 2nd law

Alleles of different genes assort independently of one another during gamete formation




INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT

gene`

factor of inheritance for a particular gene or characteristic

alleles

the particular variant of the gene


(ex. BROWN eyes, B)

heterozygous

Has a copy of both alleles of a gene


AaHh

homozygous

same allele of gene. AA aa

phenotype

physical appearance of an organism stated in words

frequency

proportion of one thing happening. \


total to 1


separated by a comma




0.75 brown, 0.25 blue

ratio

monohybrid cross

a cross between two parents to create an F1 generation, where the two parents differ with respect to one phenotypic aspect


ex. flower colour




PPx pp




F1= 1 Pp




F2 = 1PP:2Pp: 1PP

Dihybrid Cross

a cross between two organisms which differ in 2 phenotypic aspects.




ex. tall, blue x short, yellow


TTBBx ttbb


F1= 1 TtBb


F2= 9 PB, 3 Pb, 3pB, 1pb

Test Cross

To determine if a plant is heterozygous or homozygous, cross it with a homozygous recessive plant.


Pl pl


pl Ppll ppll


It can also be used to determine gene linkage.


If no linkage, then ratio of gametes will be 1:1:1:1


if linkage, then 1:1

Recombinant gametes

Some gametes are parental -- If P1 = AABB and P2= aabb, then AB and ab are parental gametes


However, in the F1 there will be some combination of recombinant gametes formed by crossing over. In this example, they would be Ab and aB. You can determine map units from recombinant frequencyq
