  1. Notes: Types of Reproduction ***Key Idea: Genetic information is passed from parents to offspring through CHROMOSOMES. Remember that chromosomes are DNA and PROTEIN. We have to get the chromosomes from the parent cell the new cells that are being produced.

  2. In ASEXUAL reproduction, ONE organism divides in two and makes an EXACT COPY of itself. This is essentially MITOSIS. Ex. Budding in yeast Ex. Amoebas Pros : NO ENEGY used to get together with another organism. Cons  : Only ONE parent contributes genes.

  3. Sexual Reproduction: Meiosis In SEXUAL reproduction, TWO organisms must come together to create an offspring that is genetically DIFFERENT than either parent. Pros  : Genes from BOTH parents contribute to offspring. Cons : Must USE ENERGY to get together with another organism.

  4. To reproduce sexually, the organisms must first form “gametes.” Cells of the body have two copies of sets of chromosomes. Gametes only have one set. Why? DIPLOID cells have two sets of chromosomes. We represent this as 2n. HAPLOID cells have one set of chromosomes. We represent this as n.

  5. Haploid Diploid

  6. In humans, the MALE gamete is the SPERM. The FEMALE gamete is the EGG. The sperm swims up the female reproductive tract and FERTILIZES the egg. The egg and sperm together is called a ZYGOTE The ZYGOTE then divides by MITOSIS to form a multicellular (many-celled) organism. Mitosis is just plan old cell division.

  7. Egg and Sperm!

  8. Fertilization

  9. Fertilization

  10. The process of forming a gamete is called MEIOSIS. Steps of Meiosis • Replication • Pairing up of homologous chromosomes. • First division • Second division

  11. Mitosis Meiosis Cell divides once. You get two cells identical to the original. Each have two copies of each chromosome Two cell divisions. You get four cells that are genetically different than the original cell. Each have one copy of each chromosome.

  12. 2) Pairing up of homologous chromosomes. • HOMOLOGOUS CHROMOSOMES are both sets of chromosomes. • Ex. Both copies of chromosome 12 • ***Genetic material is exchanged or shuffled between the homologous chromosomes in a process called CROSSING OVER. This produces the NEW combinations of traits that were not seen in either parent.

  13. Homologous Chromosomes

  14. Homologous ChromosomesCrossing Over!

  15. 3) First division- Result is two haploid cells with replicated chromosomes.

  16. 4) Second division- Result is 4 haploid cells with unreplicated chromosomes. (Result is the egg or sperm).

  17. Mitosis Meiosis Cell divides once. You get two cells identical to the original. Each have two copies of each chromosome Two cell divisions. You get four cells that are genetically different than the original cell. Each have one copy of each chromosome.
