NAME AND EXPLAIN THE THREE EVENT THAT CONTRIBUTE TO GENETIC VARIATION IN SEXSUALLY REPRODUCING ORGANISMS ANGGOTA KELOMPOK SRI YUNIARTININGSIH (P2BA10009) YAYUK SUGIYARTI (P2BA10025) IHDA SYFAI (P2BA10010) Origins of Genetic Variation Among Offspring The behavior of chromosomes during meiosis and fertilization is responsible for most of the variation that arises in each generation • Three mechanisms contribute to genetic variation: • ◦ Independent assortment of chromosomes ◦ Crossing over ◦ Random fertilization Independent Assortment of Chromosomes Homologous pairs of chromosomes orient randomly at metaphase I of meiosis • In independent assortment, each pair of chromosomes sorts maternal and paternal homologues into daughter cells independently of the other pairs • The number of combinations possible when chromosomes assort independently into gametes is 2n, where n is the haploid number • For humans (n = 23), there are more than 8 million (223) possible combinations of chromosomes • Fig. 13-11-3 Possibility 2 Possibility Possibility 11 Two equally probable arrangements of chromosomes at metaphase I Metaphase II Daughter cells Combination 1 Combination 2 Combination 3 Combination 4 Crossing Over • • Crossing over produces recombinant chromosomes, which combine genes inherited from each parent Crossing over begins very early in prophase I, as homologous chromosomes pair up gene by gene • • In crossing over, homologous portions of two nonsister chromatids trade places Crossing over contributes to genetic variation by combining DNA from two parents into a single chromosome Fig. 13-12-5 Prophase I of meiosis Pair of homologs Nonsister chromatids held together during synapsis Chiasma Centromere TEM Anaphase I Anaphase II Daughter cells Recombinant chromosomes Random Fertilization • • Random fertilization adds to genetic variation because any sperm can fuse with any ovum (unfertilized egg) The fusion of two gametes (each with 8.4 million possible chromosome combinations from independent assortment) produces a zygote with any of about 70 trillion diploid combinations Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings • • Crossing over adds even more variation Each zygote has a unique genetic identity The Evolutionary Significance of Genetic Variation Within Populations Natural selection results in the accumulation of genetic variations favored by the environment • Sexual reproduction contributes to the genetic variation in a population, which originates from mutations • Prophase I: Each homologous pair undergoes synapsis and crossing over between nonsister chromatids. Metaphase I: Chromosomes line up as homologous pairs on the metaphase plate. Anaphase I: Homologs separate from each other; sister chromatids remain joined at the centromere.
