Study Notes

Cell Division and Gametogenesis

  • Meiosis is the process that produces gametes (sperm and egg) in sexually reproducing organisms.
  • Centromeres are specialized structures that hold sister chromatids together during cell division.
  • Homologous chromosomes consist of two chromosomes carrying the same genes at the same loci.
  • Apoptosis refers to programmed cell death as part of normal development or response to injury.

Cellular Mechanisms

  • Centrioles are specialized structures in animal cell cytoplasm that organize and separate chromosomes during cell division.
  • Mitosis results in two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
  • Sister chromatids are two copies of a chromosome joined together by a centromere.

Gametogenesis and Gender Differences

  • Oogenesis is the process by which female gametes are produced, and it can involve complications more prominently experienced by females.
  • Spermatogenesis is the process for male sperm cell development.

Genetic Processes

  • Crossing over occurs during meiosis, allowing the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes.
  • Random distribution of chromosomes is ensured during meiosis, contributing to genetic diversity.
  • Telomeres protect chromosome ends, and they shorten with each cell division in normal cells.

Reproductive Strategies

  • Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes from two parents.
  • Asexual reproduction produces offspring without gametes, typically through processes like binary fission.

Genetic Inheritance

  • The offspring from breeding two true-breeding parents demonstrates specific phenotypes and genotypes.
  • Homozygous refers to individuals with two copies of the same allele, while recessive traits appear only with two recessive alleles.

Evolutionary Concepts

  • Genetic drift can lead to reduced genetic variation within populations.
  • Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium predicts that allele frequencies in a population remain constant without evolutionary influences.
  • Natural selection drives evolution by leading to changes in allele frequencies over time.

Fossil and Population Studies

  • Radiometric dating methods are used to determine the age of fossils.
  • The phenomenon of pesticide resistance highlights evolution in real time.

Differences in Cell Division

  • Major differences between mitosis and meiosis include the number of daughter cells produced (two vs. four) and the maintenance (mitosis) or halving (meiosis) of chromosome numbers.
  • Meiosis I and II have distinct functions: meiosis I includes crossing over, while meiosis II is similar to mitosis.

Genotype and Phenotype

  • The genotype refers to the genetic makeup, while phenotype is the observable characteristics.
  • Genetic crosses yield specific ratios of genotypes and phenotypes among offspring.

Blood Types and Genetics

  • Blood type O is known as the universal donor, while blood type AB is the universal recipient.
  • Antigens and Rh factors, critical for blood transfusions, determine compatibility between donor and recipient blood types.

Mutations and Natural Selection

  • Mutations provide genetic variation, which is essential for natural selection, enabling beneficial traits to become more common in a population.
  • Evolution represents the overall change and adaptation of organisms over time, driven by mechanisms such as natural selection.
