Document Summary

One parent contributes all genetic material to offspring. An individual that reproduces asexually gives rise to a clone. Two parents produce offspring with unique genetic combinations inherited from both. Karyotype- a display of the chromosome pairs of a cell arranged by size and shape. 2 of each chromosomes: 2 copies of each gene. X & y: not homologs contain different genes. Any chromosome other than the x & y. 1 of each chromosome: 1 copy of each gene. Cell division which reduces chromosome from diploid to haploid. Only occurs in cells in ovaries or testes that make gametes. Fertilization: alternates with meiosis in sexual life cycles. Zygote- fertilized egg, diploid b/c contains two haploid sets of chromosomes bearing genes representing the maternal and paternal family lines. Life cycle: generation-to-generation sequence of stages in reproductive history or organisms. Human cells not produced by mitosis are the gametes.

Which statements pertaining to genetic variability are correct? Check all that apply (note that wrong answers will be deducted from right answers)!

Crossing over is defined by the exchange of chromosome pieces during metaphase one of meiosis.

If a germ cell (i.e. parent cell before meiosis) had only two pairs of homologous chromosomes (i.e. 4 chromosomes total) there are 2 possible combinations of maternal and paternal chromosomes in gametes.

Siblings produced by sexual reproduction are different because sperms are different from one another and eggs are different from one another, and the combination of an egg and sperm is basically unique.

Random fertilization means that all possible combinations of eggs and sperm are equally likely, i.e. it is pure chance which sperm fuses with which egg.

Individual chromosomes contain thousands of genes. This means that during each crossing over event, more than one gene is exchanged between paternal and maternal chromosomes.

1. _____ Females that reproduce sexually versus asexually are said to incur a âtwo-fold cost of sexual reproduction.â Which of the following costs are associated with sexual reproduction for females?

A) MALES! That do-nothing lot really does not directly contribute offspring to the next generation. Females would be better off making all daughters.

B) FEMALES! In most natural settings, those daughters compete with their mothers for potential mates and resources needed to successfully reproduce.

C) MITOSIS! Since sexual reproduction can produce many more offspring than asexual reproduction, there are energetic costs associated with the mitotic divisions required to produce those offspring.

D) MEIOSIS! Every time a gamete is produced, the parent loses a little bit of itself. Half to be precise since only half of its genes are passed on to sexually produced offspring.

E) DIVERSITY! Mothers maximize fitness if all offspring are genetically just like them. Sexual reproduction causes genetic diversity, which ultimately lowers the fitness of both parents.
