Why aren't these siblings identical?
Origins of Genetic Variation, IOrigins of Genetic Variation, I• Independent Independent
assortmentassortment::
• homologous pair of homologous pair of chromosomes chromosomes position and orient position and orient randomly randomly (metaphase I) (metaphase I)
• nonidentical sister nonidentical sister chromatids during chromatids during meiosis IImeiosis II
• Combinations Combinations possible: 2 possible: 2 n n ; with ; with n the haploid n the haploid number of the number of the organismorganism
Origins of Genetic Variation, IIOrigins of Genetic Variation, II
• Crossing overCrossing over • prophase I: prophase I:
• the reciprocal the reciprocal exchange of exchange of genetic material genetic material between nonsister between nonsister chromatids during chromatids during synapsis of meiosis synapsis of meiosis I (recombinant I (recombinant chromosomes)chromosomes)
Crossing-OverCrossing-OverA source of Genetic VariationA source of Genetic Variation
• Chromosomes line Chromosomes line up during first up during first division of Meiosisdivision of Meiosis
• Homologous Homologous chromosomes can chromosomes can cross overcross over
The new The new chromosomes are chromosomes are no longer exactly no longer exactly like the parent like the parent chromosomes..chromosomes..they are a they are a combination .combination .
Origins of Genetic Variation – IIIOrigins of Genetic Variation – IIIRandom FertilizationRandom Fertilization
• Random fertilizationRandom fertilization: :
1 sperm (1 of 8 million possible 1 sperm (1 of 8 million possible chromosome combinations)chromosome combinations)
x 1 ovum (1 of 8 million different x 1 ovum (1 of 8 million different possibilities) possibilities)
= 64 trillion diploid combinations!= 64 trillion diploid combinations!
No wonder no two are the same!
