2. Binary Fission Organism splits directly into 2 equal- sized offspring. Organism splits directly into 2 equal- sized offspring. Each with a single copy of the parents genetics information. Each with a single copy of the parents genetics information. Ex. Bacteria

3. Binary Fission

4. Budding Offspring begins as a small outgrowth from the parent. Bud eventually breaks off and becomes an organism of its own. Ex. Yeast

5. In the photograph, you will see a brown hydra with two Other budding hydras already completely formed but still attached http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/indexmag.html?http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/artjun98/janhydra.html

6. Fragmentation A new organism is formed from a part that breaks off the parent Ex. Starfish

7. Spore Formation Organism undergoes frequent cell division to produce many smaller identical cells called SPORES. Ex. Mushroom Penicillin (mold) Penicillin (mold) spores

8. Vegetative Reproduction Produce “runners” that can develop into another plant with identical genetic information. Ex. Strawberries

9. Questions 1. How is asexual reproduction different from sexual reproduction? 2. How is the zygote, produced by sexual reproduction, different from daughter cells, produced by asexual reproduction? Zygote is a fertilized egg.

10. Meiosis The function of meiosis is to produce eggs and sperm for sexual reproduction. (sex cells) 1. Egg and sperm cells must have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell so that when put together they will have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cells. (23 vs. 46 in our body cells.) 2. Egg and sperm cells are NOT genetically identical to the parent cell like you see in mitosis.

11. 3. Although you may look more like one parent than the other, you receive the same amount of genetic information from each. 4. Chromosomes similar in shape, length and gene arrangement are called homologous chromosomes.

12. Summary of Meiosis First, the genetic material must be replicated so that each daughter cell can be given the appropriate amount of genetic information. This occurs in Interphase. Second, the genetic material must be divided twice so that each of the four daughter cells gets a set of information. Interphase  PMAT  PMAT  Interphase

16. Atypical Meiosis (7.9) FYI Errors occurring during cell divisions may not harm an organism… but if something goes wrong during meiosis of reproductive cells, the resulting embryo is in serious trouble since all of its cells will be affected.

17. Nondisjunctive Disorders (failure to separate) Is an error that occurs when two homologous chromosomes move to the same pole during meiosis. … the resulting sex cell may have 22 or 24 chromosomes. … Therefore, the resulting zygote may have 45 or 47 chromosomes rather than 46. In general, people with Down Syndrome have an extra chromosome in pair 21 (trisonomy 21). Children may have mental disabilities and some muscular weakness. Most common with elderly mothers.

18. This is a cause of several medical conditions in humans, including: This is a cause of several medical conditions in humans, including: Down Syndrome - trisomy of chromosome 21 Down Syndrome - trisomy of chromosome 21 Down Syndrome Down Syndrome Patau Syndrome - trisomy of chromosome 13 Patau Syndrome - trisomy of chromosome 13 Patau Syndrome Patau Syndrome Edward Syndrome - trisomy of chromosome 18 Edward Syndrome - trisomy of chromosome 18 Edward Syndrome Edward Syndrome Klinefelter Syndrome - an extra X chromosome in males Klinefelter Syndrome - an extra X chromosome in males Klinefelter Syndrome Klinefelter Syndrome Turner Syndrome - only one X chromosome present in females Turner Syndrome - only one X chromosome present in females Turner Syndrome Turner Syndrome XYY Syndrome - an extra Y chromosome in males XYY Syndrome - an extra Y chromosome in males XYY Syndrome XYY Syndrome Triple X Syndrome - an extra X chromosome in females Triple X Syndrome - an extra X chromosome in females Triple X Syndrome Triple X Syndrome

19. Klinefelter Syndrome: The child is a male, but at puberty he begins producing high levels of female sex hormone and can not father children. (1 in every 1000 births.) Turner Syndrome: Females with T.S. do not mature sexually and are shorter in height. (1 in every 10000 births) Both caused by nondisjunction.

20. Turner Syndrome also can occur when nondisjunction happens during meiosis forming the human females gametes.
