B-4.5 Meiosis (sec 11-4)
• What is DIPLOID and HAPLOID?
• What is the chromosome # in somatic cells & gametes?
• What is the function of Meiosis?
• What happens in interphase?
• What happens in Meiosis I?
• List stages; Crossing over; Anaphase I
• What happens in Meiosis II?
• How does gamete production differ in males &
females?
Explain Chromosome # in
somatic cells & gametes
SOMATIC CELLS (body cells)
• DIPLOID (2N) cells which Contains 2 sets
(N) of chromosomes (double);
• TWO alleles (copies) of each gene
GAMETES (sex cells)
• HAPLOID (N) Contains ONE set of
chromosomes (Half of body cells);
• ONE allele (copy) of each gene
• Egg (1 copy of mother’s DNA)
• Sperm (1 copy of father’s DNA)
VOCABULARY
GENE –section of
DNA codes for
trait.
EX: Height
ALLELE - different
version of a gene
(trait)
EX: Tall or Short
Examples: Diploid vs Haploid
Fruit Flies
• Diploid (2N) = 8 (body cells)
N = set of chromosomes
2N = 2 sets of chromosomes
• Haploid (N) = 4 (gametes)
Humans
• Diploid (2N) = 46 (body cells)
• Haploid (N) = 23 (gametes)
Mitosis division makes identical diploid cells– repair, growth, and
development (begins shortly after fertilization and ongoing)
• BODY CELL (diploid) divides once to make more BODY CELLS (diploid)
• ACTIVITY – All cells arise from pre-existing cells: http://dnaftb.org/7/
So how are gametes (egg/sperm) made if they have half the
chromosomes of a body cell???
• ACTIVITY – Sex cells have one set of chromosomes; body cells have
two: http://dnaftb.org/8/
What process produces gametes
(egg/sperm)? ____MEIOSIS___
MEIOSIS: Cuts Chromosome # in HALF /(2N  N) 46  23
• Interphase
• DNA is replicated (46 doubled to 92)
• Instead of 2 copies of every gene there are now 4 copies
• Meiosis I – begins w/ 1 diploid cell(92) ends w/ 2 haploid cells
• CROSSING OVER occurs  genes swapped/causes variety in
gametes
• HOMOLOGOUS pairs (similar chromosomes) are Separated
• Meiosis II - begins w/ 2 haploid cells (46) ends w/ 4 haploid
gametes (23)
• Phases work the same as mitosis
• Anaphase II - chromosomes separated at centromere

B-4.6 Mendelian Genetics(sec 11-1,2,3)
Use Mendel’s laws to predict
inherited traits
Summarize Mendel’s experiment.
Hypothesis – Variables (IV & DV) - Conclusion
Law of Segregation states…
Principle of Dominance states…
How are dominant and recessive traits shown?
Relationship between Genotype and Phenotype.
Practice Probability & Monohybrid Crosses
Law of independent assortment states…
How does that differ from the law of segregation?
Practice Dihybrid Crosses
Intro to GENETICS…
• GENETICS is the study of heredity…
• (passing of traits from one generation to the next)
• GREGOR MENDEL (an Austrian Monk) 1852
• Performed experiments using pea plants and which where
the basis for understanding genetics.
• Mendel’s LAW explains how GENES are passed from one
generation to the next
• ACTIVITY – Children resemble their parents:
http://dnaftb.org/1/
• WALTER SUTTON 1902
• Developed the Chromosome Theory of Heredity… states
that GENES are located on CHROMOSOMES
Mendel’s Experiment:
• PROBLEM:
• How are traits passed from one generation to the next?
• HYPOTHESIS:
• If then P generation had different traits, then the F1
generation would be a MIX of both parents.
• PROCEDURE: (pea plant experiments)
• P (parents) = Tall plant X Short plant (cross pollination to
produce hybrids)
• F1 = offspring; predicted to be all Medium Height
• F1 = 1st generation offspring & F2 = 2nd generation offspring)
• TRIALS = He studied 7 traits (height, color, shape, etc…)
Cross-Pollination
Mendel’s RESULTS
• P cross = Tall X Short
• F1 generation = All Tall
• F1 cross = Tall X Tall
• F2 generation = 3 Tall, 1 Short (3:1)

Conclusions and
Law of Segregation
• ACTIVITY – Genes come in pairs: http://dnaftb.org/2/
• ACTIVITY – Some genes are dominant: http://dnaftb.org/4/
• Traits are inherited as separate units (genes) which are not
blended.
• Gene section of DNA, codes for trait…
• Ex: such as Height
• Allele: different form (version) of a gene…
• Ex: such as Tall / Short
• LAW OF SEGREGATION:
• Organisms inherit 2 copies of each gene; 1 from each
parent.
• Organisms donate only 1 copy of each gene in their
gametes (egg or sperm) during meiosis
Principle (law) of DOMINANCE
Alleles can be either…
• DOMINANT… written in UPPER CASE
• recessive… written in lower case (same letter)
• EX: Gene = Height
• Alleles = T (tall), t (short)
• Organism inherit 2 alleles for each gene…
• If organism has a Dominant allele, it will show Dominant
trait (TT or Tt = tall)
• If dominant is not present then RECESSIVE trait is shown (tt
= short)
Relationship Between
Genotype & Phenotype
• GENOTYPE – genetic make up (the alleles) of
organism (EX: Tt, GG)
• HOMOZYGOUS – has same alleles, purebred (EX: tt, TT, gg, GG)
• HETEROZYGOUS – has different alleles, hybrid (EX: Tt, Gg)
• PHENOTYPE – physical make up (traits shown by
alleles) of organism (EX: tall, yellow)
Law of Independent Assortment
• Review – Law of Segregation:
• aka separation of genes
• Organisms donate 1 copy of each gene
Law of Independent Assortment:
• During meiosis…Traits are inherited separately – causing
different combination of traits (Tall, yellow plants; Short,
yellow plants)
• Traits do NOT influence the inheritance of other traits
• Color of plant does not affect height
• Attached earlobes does not affect freckles
Probability & Genetic Crosses
• ACTIVITY – Genetic inheritance follows rules: http://dnaftb.org/5/
• PROBABILTY is the likely hood that an event will occur
(prediction)
• In reality you don’t get the EXACT ratio of results shown in the
square. This is because genetics is kind of like flipping a coin (each
time you flip it you have a 50:50 chance of getting heads).
• PUNNETT SQUARES use probability to quickly predict possible
outcomes of a genetic cross In 1905, Reginald Punnett, devised
a shorthand way of finding the expected possible offspring
genotypes.
• MONOHYBRID
• Predict all possible outcomes of how 1 trait will be inherited
• DIHYBRID
• Predict all possible outcomes of how 2 traits will be inherited

organism with an
unknown genotype.
• Cross unknown with
known.
