Genetics & Heredity
2
Meiosis
  • Resulting cells have a different genetic configuration than the original cell.
  • End product is 4 haploid gametes
  • 2 divisions occur, not 1
  • Crossing over may occur
  • 1 replication with  2 divisions
3
Independent assortment
  • Genes on different chromosomes behave independently during meiosis.
  • Separate chromosomes will separate into gametes independently of each other.

Chromosomes and Sex Determination
  • Human sperm contains 23 chromosomes, 22 of which are autosomes and 1 which is the sex chromosome.   Half  the sperm have an “X” sex chromosome, the other 1/2 has a “Y” sex chromosome.
  • The ovum also contains 22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome; it’s sex chromosome has been designated “X”.
  • XX zygote= female :   XY zygote= male

Gamete combination possibilities
  • In a situation with Green (yy) and Round (RR) versus yellow (YY) and wrinkled (rr)
  • gametes would be yy  X   RR or 4 yR
    • 4 Yr Heterozygotes for these traits would be
    • Rr    X    Yy   and the four gametes would be:
      • YR   Yr   yR   yr
