When is it diploid vs haploid?
When homologous chromosome is present it is diploid, when it is not it is haploid
Prophase I
Tetrad
Pair of homologous chromosomes (4 chromosomes together
Metaphase I
Tetrads align at cell center
Anaphase I
Separate homologous chromosomes
Cytokinesis begins
Ring of actin forms (cleavage burrow)
Telophase I
Prophase II
similar to prophase I
Metaphase II
similar to metaphase I
Anaphase II
Separation of sister chromatids
Telophase II
similar to telophase I
End result of meiosis I & II
You have 4 cells, each with 23 chromosomes
All chromosomes are different from each other & parent ell
Meiosis is also called…
Reductive division
Nondysjunction
Failure to divide DNA during meiosis
Anaphase I failure: all 4 gametes are abnormal
Anaphase II failure: 2 will be normal, 2 will be abnormal
Gene
Piece of DNA that codes for product
- includes regulatory regions (eg. promoter, untranslated region)
Trait
Allele
Version of gene
Superscript differs in capital/lowercase
Polymorphic
many forms due to the expression of many alleles
Polygenic
many forms due to expression of many genes
Non-classical dominance
Classical dominance
1 allele is dominant, 1 is recessive
Human ABO Blood group gene
On surface of RBC, you have an area that codes for protein on the surface
3 versions of alleles: Ia (codes for A protein), Ib (codes for B protein) & i (codes for no protein
Universal donor? Universal receipent?
Donor is: O- because no proteins to trigger reaction in recipient
Acceptor is: AB+ because has A/B/Rh factor
Blood typing Process
Mendel’s Laws
2. Law of Independent Assortment
