TRANSCRIPT
Organisms have tens of thousands of genes - Genes determine traits- Genes are lined up on chromosomes- 1 chromosome can contain a thousand or more genes
Each species of organisms contains a different number of chromosomes
The chromosome numbers of a species is not related to the complexity of the organism
The Chromosomes in most plants and animals occur in pairs
• 1 chromosome comes from the male parent
• 1 chromosome comes from the female parent
Diploid – A cell with two of each kind of chromosome (1 from each parent)
We say the cell is a diploid cell or 2n*Supports Mendel’s conclusion that organisms have two factors (alleles) for each trait
Haploid – A cell with one of each kind of chromosome (gametes)
We say the cell is a haploid or n
*Supports Mendel’s conclusion that parents give 1 allele for each trait to their offspring
Homologous Chromosomes – Paired chromosomes
Each pair of homologous chromosomes has genes for the same traits
Ex. Pod shape
On homologous chromosomes, the genes are arranged in the same order
Because there are different possible alleles for the same gene, the two chromosomes in the homologous pairs are not always identical to each other.
Meiosis – cell division .-produces haploid gametes
Meiosis occurs in the body cells that produce gametes(Male and Female reproductive organs)
The process of meiosis produces:male gametes (sperm) - n, haploidfemale gametes (eggs) – n, haploid
When the sperm fertilizes the egg, the resulting cell is a Zygote – 2n diploid
The zygote then can develop by mitosis into a multicellular organism
This process is called Sexual ReproductionTwo parents produce an offspring that is not identical to either parent
What are the benefits to sexual reproduction?
