Cell Division Mitosis & Meiosis

Slide 2

Mitosis cell division somatic cell (body cell) The form of cell division by which a eukaryotic somatic cell (body cell) duplicates. Mitosisasexual reproduction. Mitosis is asexual reproduction. Cell division Cell division is the continuation of life based on the reproduction of cells.

Slide 3

Mitosis each human body cell has 46 chromosomes 46 chromosomes Liver Cell 46 chromosomes 46 chromosomes two identical daughter cells Liver Cell (Parent cell)

Slide 4

What Is A Chromosome? chromosome DNA. A chromosome is a very long, continuous piece of DNA. Chromosomes contain many genes. Genes are the units of heredity in organisms. DNA double helix chromosome

Slide 5

Meiosis Meiosis is the process of cell division that only occurs in gametes or sex cells(egg & sperm). During meiosis, a cell produces 4 gametes with half the number of chromosomes in each gamete. The traits are distributed randomly in the newly formed gametes.

Slide 8

Genes & Heredity Why Do I Look Like My Parents???

Slide 9

Question: Why Dont You Look Like a rhinoceros?

Slide 10

Answer: Because _______. Heredity is the passing of traits from parents to offspring. Traits and characteristics pass from parents to offspring through genes.

Slide 11

Genetics Terms Alleles: the different forms of a gene. Dominant allele: an allele whose trait always shows up when it is present. Recessive allele: an allele that is masked when a dominant allele is present.

Slide 12

Homozygous vs. Heterozygous If both the alleles inherited by the zygote(fertilized egg) for a particular characteristic are the same they are called homozygous. homozygous If they are different from each other they are called heterozygous. heterozygous

Slide 13

Homologous Chromosomes? What the Each set of chromosome is a homologous pair Homologous chromosomes chromosomes which contain the same genes, one from each parentHomologouschromosomes Homologous chromosomes look alike with similar information stored on them One member of each homologous pair is inherited from each parent through egg or sperm.

Slide 14

Homologous Chromosomes =( Location )

Slide 15

Slide 16

Dominant Allele vs. Recessive Allele

Slide 17

Genotype & Phenotype A set of alleles inherited by an individual is called a genotype.genotype The way the genes express themselves in the individual's appearance is their phenotype.phenotype

Slide 18

Dominant & Recessive Traits Some traits show more often than other traits. The traits that show often are called dominant traits. Those traits that dont show often are recessive traits.

Slide 19

Genotype & Phenotype Both mother and father are heterozygous for tongue rolling. Genotype: heterozygous alleles (one dominant & one recessive) Phenotype: Ability to roll tongue

Slide 20

Albino snake, a recessive trait of not having colors

Slide 21

Attached earlobe vs. free (or detached) earlobe Attached is a recessive trait

Slide 22

Black Eyes Tongue Rolling Dark Hair Curly Hair Mid- finger Hair Widows Peak Some Dominant Traits

Slide 23

Punnett square Punnett Squares are diagrams used to help us to figure out how inherited traits (characteristics) will be distributed Dominant trait is written by capital letter (A) Recessive trait is written by lower case letter (a)

Slide 24

Punnett square Both parents birds are homozygous, with the red bird having 2 dominant alleles, and the blue bird having 2 recessive alleles. There is only one possible genotype for all the offspring, and that is heterozygous. What is the phenotype of the offspring? ______

Slide 25

Practice with Punnett Square In rabbits, black fur is dominant to white fur. A male rabbit with BB genotype and a female with a Bb genotype are crossed. 1.What is their phenotype? 2.What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring? (Show using a Punnett square) 3.What is the percent chance for each type?

Slide 27

Inside the nucleus of a cell long strings of DNA are coiled up and spooled onto chromosomes, and on each chromosome there are several thousand genes - shorter sections of DNA which act as a code for a particular characteristic. Since we inherit particular chromosomes through the egg and sperm, we also inherit the particular characteristics coded for by the genes on those chromosomes. chromosomesgenes
