Overview: Variations on a Theme
 Living organisms are distinguished by their ability to
reproduce their own kind
 Heredity is the transmission of traits from one
generation to the next
 Variation is demonstrated by the differences in
appearance that offspring show from parents and
siblings
 Genetics is the scientific study of heredity and
variation

Inheritance of Genes
 Genes are the units of heredity and are made up of
segments of DNA
 Genes are passed to the next generation via
reproductive cells called gametes (sperm and eggs)
 Each gene has a specific position, or locus, on a
certain chromosome

 The sex chromosomes, which determine the sex of
the individual, are called X and Y
 Human females have a homologous pair of X
chromosomes (XX)
 Human males have one X and one Y chromosome
 The remaining 22 pairs of chromosomes are called
autosomes
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
 Each pair of homologous chromosomes includes
one chromosome from each parent
 A diploid cell (2n) has two sets of chromosomes
 For humans, the diploid number is 46 (2n  46)

 Fertilization is the union of gametes (the sperm
and the egg)
 The fertilized egg is called a zygote and has one
set of chromosomes from each parent
 The zygote produces somatic cells by mitosis and
develops into an adult
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
 Gametes are the only types of human cells produced
by meiosis rather than mitosis
 Meiosis results in one set of chromosomes in
each gamete

The Variety of Sexual Life Cycles
 The alternation of meiosis and fertilization is
common to all organisms that reproduce sexually
 The three main types of sexual life cycles differ in
the timing of meiosis and fertilization
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Animals – the old fashion way?
 Gametes are the only haploid cells in animals
 They are produced by meiosis and undergo no
further cell division before fertilization
 Gametes fuse to form a diploid zygote that divides
by mitosis to develop into a multicellular organism

Concept 10.3: Meiosis reduces the number of
chromosome sets from diploid to haploid
 Like mitosis, meiosis is preceded by the replication
of chromosomes
 Meiosis takes place in two sets of cell divisions,
called meiosis I and meiosis II
 The two cell divisions result in four daughter cells,
rather than the two daughter cells in mitosis
 Each daughter cell has only half as many
chromosomes as the parent cell
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
The Stages of Meiosis
 For a single pair of homologous chromosomes in a
diploid cell, both members of the pair are duplicated
 The resulting sister chromatids are closely
associated all along their lengths
 Homologs may have different versions of genes,
each called an allele
 Homologs are not associated in any obvious way
except during meiosis

 In the first meiotic division, homologous pairs of
chromosomes pair and separate
 In the second meiotic division, sister chromatids of
each chromosome separate
 Four new haploid cells are produced as a result

Prophase I
 Prophase I typically occupies more than 90% of the
time required for meiosis
 Chromosomes begin to condense
 In synapsis, homologous chromosomes loosely pair
up, aligned gene by gene
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
 In crossing over, nonsister chromatids exchange
DNA segments
 Each homologous pair has one or more X-shaped
regions called chiasmata
 Chiasmata exist at points where crossing over has
occurred.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
 In animal cells, a cleavage furrow forms; in plant
cells, a cell plate forms
 No chromosome replication occurs between the end
of meiosis I and the beginning of meiosis II because
the chromosomes are already replicated
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
 Three events are unique to meiosis, and all three
occur in meiosis l
 Synapsis and crossing over in prophase I:
Homologous chromosomes physically connect and
exchange genetic information
 Homologous pairs at the metaphase plate:
Homologous pairs of chromosomes are positioned
there in metaphase I
 Separation of homologs during anaphase I

 Meiosis I is called the reductional division because it
halves the number of chromosome sets per cell from
diploid (2n) to haploid (n)
 Meiosis II is called the equational division because
the haploid cells divide to produce haploid daughter
cells
 The mechanism of sister chromatid separation in
meiosis II is identical to that in mitosis
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
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
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
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
homologs into daughter cells independently of the
other pairs
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
 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

Crossing Over
 Crossing over produces recombinant
chromosomes, which combine DNA inherited
from each parent
 Crossing over begins very early in prophase I, as
homologous chromosomes pair up gene by gene
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
 In crossing over, homologous portions of two
nonsister chromatids trade places
 Crossing over contributes to genetic variation by
combining DNA, producing chromosomes with
new combinations of maternal and paternal alleles

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
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
 Crossing over adds even more variation
 Each zygote has a unique genetic identity
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
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
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
 Asexual reproduction is less expensive than sexual
reproduction
 Nonetheless, sexual reproduction is nearly universal
among animals
 Overall, genetic variation is evolutionarily
advantageous
