How about the rest of us?
 What if a complex multicellular organism
(like us) wants to reproduce?

joining of egg + sperm
 Do we make egg & sperm by mitosis?

How do we make sperm & eggs?
 reduce 46 chromosomes  23 chromosomes


Meiosis: production of gametes
 Alternating processes,
alternating stages

chromosome number
must be reduced
 diploid  haploid
 2n  n
 humans: 46  23
 meiosis reduces
chromosome number

fertilization restores
chromosome number
 haploid  diploid
AP Biology
 n  2n
Homologous chromosomes
 Paired chromosomes

both chromosomes of a pair carry genes
 control same inherited characters
 homologous = same information
diploid
2n
AP Biology
homologous
chromosomes
double stranded
homologous chromosomes
Double division
of meiosis
DNA replication
1st division of
meiosis separates
homologous pairs
2nd division of
meiosis separates
sister chromatids
AP Biology
Steps of meiosis
 Meiosis 1
interphase
 prophase 1
 metaphase 1
 anaphase 1
 telophase 1

 Meiosis 2
prophase 2
 metaphase 2
 anaphase 2
 telophase 2
AP Biology

1st division of
meiosis separates
homologous pairs
(2n  1n)
2nd division of
meiosis separates
sister chromatids
(1n  1n)

AP Biology
AP Biology
Crossing over
 During Prophase 1
homologous pairs swap
pieces of chromosome
 sister chromatids intertwine
 crossing over

tetrad
AP Biology
synapsis
Crossing over
 3 steps
What are the
advantages of
sexual reproduction?
cross over
 breakage of DNA
 re-fusing of DNA

 New combinations of traits
AP Biology
Genetic variation
 Meiosis & crossing over introduce
great genetic variation to population

AP Biology
drives evolution
The value of meiosis
 Meiosis introduces genetic variation
gametes of offspring do not have same
genes as gametes from parents
 genetic recombination

 random assortment in humans produces 223
(8,388,608) different combinations
Mom
APfrom
Biology
from Dad
new gametes
made by offspring
And more variation…
 Crossing over

AP Biology
creates completely new
combinations of traits
in next generation
Random fertilization
 Any 2 parents will produce a zygote
with over 70 trillion (223 x 223) diploid
combinations
AP Biology
Sources of genetic variability
 Genetic variability in sexual reproduction

independent assortment
 homologous chromosomes in Meiosis 1

crossing over
 between homologous chromosomes in
prophase 1

random fertilization
 random ovum fertilized by a random sperm
AP Biology
metaphase1
Sexual reproduction creates variability
Sexual reproduction allows us to maintain both
genetic similarity & differences.

Mitosis vs. Meiosis
 Mitosis






AP Biology
1 division
daughter cells
genetically identical
to parent cell
produces 2 cells
2n  2n
produces cells for
growth & repair
no crossing over
 Meiosis

2 divisions
daughter cells
genetically different
from parent
produces 4 cells
2n  1n
produces gametes

crossing over

AP Biology
Changes in Chromosomes
Number
 Euploidy = correct # of chromosomes
 Aneuploidy = a change in
chromosomes number due to nondisjunction during meiosis
 Monosomy- only 1 copy of an individual
chromosome
 Trisomy- 3 copies of an individual
chromosome
AP Biology
Non-disjuction
Primary nondisjuction = Meiosis I
Secondary nondisjuction = Meiosis II
