19 Why is a monoploid sterile? When they enter meiosis, Segregation leading to normal gametes is rare OR n=2 OKNot OK n=2 2 * 1/2 n are OK = 1/2 n=10 2 * 1/2 n are OK = 1/516 -chance that all chromosomes go to one gamete More typical for plant

Three homologous chromosomes Autopolyploids: the case of triploids in meiosis 3:02:1 As more chromosomes we have the less chance to get viable gamete 21

Polyploid with odd number of chromosome set are sterile or infertile Since their gametes and offspring are aneuploid 22

Aneuploid, aberrant euploidy, and gene balance Usually aneuploids are not viable or severely affected due to changes in gene balance. In a euploid the ratio between genes is 1:1 **even in aberrant euploidy, -whereas in aneuploid this balance is variable 23

35 So why not polyploid mammals? Remember the issue of balance between chromosomes For plants, tetraploidy works–TWICE as much of EVERY GENE, so ok. In mammals, a balance has evolved for all chromosomes, including sex chromosomes e.g.: humans have 45 active chromosomes (and sometimes Y). Dosage compensation, through Barr Bodies, makes sure That only 1 X is active (even when 2, 3, 4, and more are present) So, with higher multiples of autosomes, but active X # not budging, balance can never be correct. Imprinting, a later topic, is also a problem. XXX, XXY, XXYY

Organelle genomes work with an alternative genetic code!

Mitochondrial fission and fusion play critical roles in maintaining functional mitochondria when cells experience metabolic or environmental stresses. Fusion helps mitigate stress by mixing the contents of partially damaged mitochondria as a form of complementation. Fission is needed to create new mitochondria, but it also contributes to quality control by enabling the removal of damaged mitochondria and can facilitate apoptosis during high levels of cellular stress. Disruptions in these processes affect normal development, and they have been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s.
