• Interphase: ·
• Active period that precedes meiosis and includes preparation for cell division .
• DNA replicated in the "S" Phase of interphase
• This results in chromosomes having two identical DNA strands
• Genetically identical strands are called sister chromatids
• Held together by a centromere located at the center
• Chromatids separate during meiosis II
• They become independent chromosomes with each one ofthem made of a single DNA strand
• If DNA didn't take place before meiosis, there would be no need for 2nd meiotic division

• Two haploid daughter cells are formed o Sister chromatids separate in meiosis ll
• Second division that separates sister chromatids
• Chromatids may not be identical due to crossing over in prophase I • Chiasmata formation between non-sister chromatids results in the exchange of alleles
o Crossing over is the exchange of DNA material between non-sister homologous chromatids
• When chiasmata is formed between the bivalents in prophase I, DNA is exchanged between the non-sister homologous chromatids
• Crossing over results in production of new allele combination on the chromosomes
• Recombinant chromosomes consist of genetic material from both homologues o Crossing over produces new combinations of alleles on the chromosomes of the haploid cells
• Genes may be linked or unlinked and are inherited accordingly o Gene loci are said to be linked if on the same chromosome
/
• Linkage group is a group of genes whose loci are on the same chromosomes and don't independently assort
• Linked genes tend to be inherited together
• Don't follow the normal dihybrid cross
• Phenotypic ratio is more closely assigned to monohybrid cross as two genes are inherited in a single unit
• Linked genes may become separated through
During the first cycle of replication in meiosis, Prophase is the same but crossing over occurs along side of the nuclear membrane dissolving, chromosomes developing, and the spindle fibers forming. Crossing over is the process in which homologous chromosomes from both parents pair up and exchange DNA. Also during metaphase and anaphase homologous chromosomes are separated and pulled to opposite sides. During this second cycle of replication the cells grows through Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II, and its final cycle of cytokinesis which is the exact same as during mitosis. I will play a quick review of this process.
It was used because of its rapid rate of reproduction, The objective of this lab was to determine whether the two crosses conducted fit the expected results of a 9:3:3:1 ratio, which could be done using the Chi Squared Test. The 9:3:3:1 ratio meant that the phenotypes of the F2 offspring would occur in a nine: three: three: one ratio- 9 would be wild-type or normal, 6 of the offspring would have one normal and one mutant characteristic and lastly one of the offspring would be a mutant for both phenotypes. Two distinct crosses were conducted during this experiment: one using red eyed, ebony bodied males and white eyed, brown bodied females as the F1 generation and the other cross using white eyed, brown bodied males and red eyed, ebony bodied females. Our hypothesis, or prediction was that crossing offspring from the F1 generation, or the F2 progeny would fit the expected outcome of a 9:3:3:1 ratio as
Reciprocal cross is referred to females possessing the dominant allele that are mated with males possessing the recessive allele and females possessing the recessive allele that are mated with males possessing the dominant allele. We first had to isolate virgin fruit flies from the existing fly populations and then perform a reciprocal cross of the two populations. The reciprocal cross consisted of cross A- male's (+) wild type and females (wmf) mutant type. Cross B consisted of males (wmf) mutant type and females (+) wild-type.
Eight ascospores are produced form one zygote, which are lined up in an ascus. The ascospores are haploid and all the alleles are phenotypically shown. The fungus Sordaris when normal has a spore color that is black. In this lab we will be using gray and tan spores to mate. The allele form for the gray spore gene is g+ which is the wild type allele, and the other is g, which is the mutant allele.
b). Mendel’s factors in inheritance and the separation of homologous chromosomes in meiosis provide evidence that gene are carried on chromosome. The segregation of alleles in inheritance corresponds to the segregation of homologous chromosomes in meiosis. c). plant P genotype: TT and tt, F2: ¼ TT, ½ Tt, ¼ tt.
For example, a red and white flower being crossbred will produce a pink flower. So, this means that the pink flower has genes of both red and white, but because both are dominant, they mix. For codominance, the prefix “co”, meaning together, translate to codominant alleles that dominate together. In this case, the distinct traits are both visible. So, instead of a pink flower being produced, a flower that expresses red and white spots is a result of codominance (Lubey,
There is only one cell which is able to survive in total of four cell which then develops into a female gametophyte. The pollination occurs in female gametophyte. Fertilization occurs after successful pollination in which one sperm cell will meet with the egg and will make a diploid embryo which will be surrounded by seed coat of tissue from the parent
The same region is also amplified on both chromosomes, however they are different sizes, which are then put into gel
5. How do the processes of meiosis and fertilization produce genetic variety? During the meiosis stage of crossing over, the maternal and paternal homologous chromosome segments are being exchanged. During independent assortment, different genes independently separate from one another.
The sister chromatids line up alone the equatorial line. During anaphase II, each sister chromatid begins to move to its respective pole thus the pairs begin to separate. In telophase II, the sister chromatids reach their respective poles. Cytokinesis takes place, and the nuclear envelope becomes visible, resulting in four haploid
The sister chromatids are pulled towards oppsite poles of the cell. (http://andrewhulse.weebly.com/archive-blog---life-in-room-213206209/archives/01-2014) Telophase:the chormatids are now called chormosomes. The nuclear envelope reforms arounds the two sets of chromosomes to form two new nuclei and in each nucleus the nucleolus reforms. The spindle fibres disappear and the chromosomes become uncoiled, elongated and are no longer visible.
Almost invariably, bivalent 6 carried two MLH1 foci in homozygotes with no statistical differences between males (1.9 ± 0.06) and females (1.9 ± 0.03); instead, the number of foci was drastically reduced in male (1.1 ± 0.03) and female (1.3 ± 0.09) heterozygotes. In heterozygotes, most bivalents (85%) had one focus; when two foci were present they were more commonly observed in the female. Focus frequency distributions indicate that crossovers occur more frequently towards opposite ends of the bivalent in homozygotes, with one focus at the proximal region and another close to the telomere of the long arm (Figure 3). In heterozygotes, the preferred location of the distal crossover is maintained, but there is a clear increment of foci at 40-50 from the terminus compared to the same region in homozygotes (Figure 3). In the heterozygotes, no foci were observed beyond 40% from the centromere of the acrocentric element, therefore it is possible that one of the inversion breakpoints is located
The outcome of decreased Cdc13 levels didn't change premeiotic S-phase but inhibited the meiotic nuclear divisions. Next, they looked ati the roles of the G1/S mitotic cyclins cig1, cig2 and puc1 in the meiotic cell cycle. Cig2 was important one, since the absence cig2 delays progression into premeiotic S-phase and meiotic nuclear divisions and caused defects in the zygotes of meiosis II. They then looked at meiotic cyclins and discovered that Rem1 and Crs1 cyclins have no essential roles in meiotic cell cycle when the mitotic cyclins are present. After they look at mitotic cyclins during meiosis and the results showed mitotic and meiotic cyclins are required for meiotic cell cycle progression.
As the production of histones peaks, the S phase of interphase begins. During the S phase, duplicate copies of each chromosome are synthesized, this processes can take a while as many eukaryotes have a large number of very long chromosomes. For example, human cells have to duplicate 46 chromosomes each one thousand to five thousand times the diameter of the nucleus in length when stretched. After
In prophase I, crossing over occurs which is when chromosomes exchange genes and results in non identical chromatids. Genes A and a can switch with genes but they cannot switch with genes B and b. In metaphase I, the sister chromatids (tetrads) line up
