makes gametes
meiosis
gametes are haploid or diploid?
haploid
daughter cells are not identical to what?
their parents or siblings (one another)
picture of aligned chromosomes
karyotype
female
XX
male
XY
non sex chromosomes
autosomes
X and Y are
sex chromosomes
meiosis produces four what?
haploid gametes
two sister chromatics are attached where?
centromere
chromosomes condense, nuclear envelope degrades, centrosomes migrate to poles, meiotic spindle forms
prophase one
pairing up of homologous chromosomes
synapsis
glue that holds homologous chromosomes together
synaptonemal complex
exchange of genetic material between non sister chromatics during prophase one
crossing over
crossing over produces
recombinant chromatids
homologous pairs line up on metaphase plate, independent assortment occurs
metaphase one
randomly sorting of chromosomes on the metaphase plate that causes recombinant DNA
independent assortment
kinetochore MTs shorten, synaptonemal complex degraded, homologous chromosomes separate to opposite poles, kinetochore MTs then lengthen at end
anaphase one
each half of the cell has complete 1n set of replicated chromosomes
telophase one
telophase is also called
cytokinesis
1 of each chromosome lines up on metaphase plate. just like in mitosis
metaphase two
sister chromatids separate a second time, move to opposite poles
anaphase two
four haploid daughter cells are produced
telophase two
offspring variability is affected by what three things?
random alignment, crossing over, fertilization
random alignment happens durinv
metaphase one
homologous chromosomes or sister chromatics don't separate from each other in meiosis one
nondisjunction
produces abnormal gametes
nondiajunction
kinetochore microtubules don't connect or contract properly
nondisjunction
if metaphase one checkpoint fails
nondisjunction
abnormal number of chromosomes
aneuploid
trisomy of chromosome 21
down syndrome
mix together two parents, offspring have intermediate traits
blending hypothesis
discrete particles (alleles) passed from parent to offspring
particulate hypothesis
true breeding produces
homozygous chromosomes
PP or pp
homozygous
Pp or pP
heterozygous
when gametes form, alleles separate from each other during meiosis
principle of segregation
1 homozygous dominant, 2 heterozygous, 1 homozygous recessive
genotypic ratio
phenotype is determined by
genotype
only one abnormal allele needed for trait to be expressed
autosomal dominant
genetic traits in humans tracked througj
pedigrees
each pair of alleles segregates independently of every other pair of alleles
principle of independent assortment
ratio typical of dihybrid cross between two heterozygous individuals (YyRr x YyRr)
9:3:3:1
has distinct phenotypes of BOTH parents (red + white = red and white stripes)
codominance
when the heterozygous phenotype is intermediate (pink flowers from red and white)
incomplete dominance
blood type is an example of trait
cocominance
genetic waateland
Y chromosome
signals body to develop as a male
SRY gene
for males, genes on the X chromosome are
hemizygous
any process that alters gene activity and expression without changing the DNA sequence
epigenetics
methylation and DNA packaging
two processes that can alter gene expression and activity
addition of CH3
methylation
too much blank blocks gene expression
methylation
can be loose or tight
DNA packaging
gene packed so tight it can't be expressed
heterochromatin
DNA packed loosely and so can be expressed
euchromatin
adding an acetyl group to histones to neutralize histone and change DNA shape does what?
loosens DNA
histones are + -
positive
DNA is + -
negative
