Determining the Crossover Frequency in Sordaria fimicola Introduction Meiosis is an important part of the life cycle that gives rise to the genetic variation in offsprings. Meiosis in fungi differs from those in plants and animals. Fungi are composed of hyphae‚ which are tubules that make up the frame. These hyphae together form a clump or a mat that is the mycelium (Campbell‚ 637). The hyphae are key to fungus reproduction. Typically fungi produce large amounts of spores through either sexual

4.1.1 State that eukaryote chromosomes are made of DNA and proteins.(1) State means to give a specific name‚ value or other brief answer without explanation or calculation. The chromosome is composed of two main molecules. a) DNA b) Proteins called histones. This image was taken shortly after DNA a replication but before the prophase. It is composed of two daughter chromatids joined at the centromere. The chromosome is super coiled by a factor around x16‚000. The DNA molecule is about 1

[1] The term is sometimes used inaccurately to describe reproduction modes in hermaphroditic species that can reproduce by themselves because they contain reproductive organs of both sexes in a single individual’s body. Normal egg cells form after meiosis and are haploid‚ with half as many chromosomes as their mother’s body cells. Haploid individuals‚ however‚ are usually non-viable‚ and parthenogenetic offspring usually have the diploid chromosome number. Depending on the mechanism involved in restoring

P1: Explain how sperm and ova are formed by producing an annotated diagram of meiosis and discussing what happens in ogenesis and spermatogenesis In the male‚ meiosis precedes sex cell differentiation. A single spermatogonium enters the first meiotic division as a primary spermatocyte. This division produces two secondary spermatocytes‚ each of which divides to form two haploid spermatids. Each spermatid then differentiates (by a process called spermiogenesis) into a spermatozoon by the elaboration

10.1.3 CROSSING OVER Outline the process of crossing over in : Meiosis 1: • Prophase I - homologous chromosomes are paired up tightly into tetrads‚ then crossing over‚ the exchange of genetic material between the DNA in these tetrads occurs‚ forming a chiasmata‚ an x-shaped structure. • Metaphase I - paired chromosomes line up along the equator of a cell‚ the metaphase plate as the spindle microtubulue apparatus pulls them. • Anaphase I - The spindle microtubules pull homologous chromosomes

Chapter 13: Meiosis and Sexual Life Cycles 1) Genes are the units of heredity‚ and are made up of segments of DNA. 2) In asexual reproduction‚ one parent produces genetically identical offspring my mitosis. In sexual reproduction‚ two parents give rise to offspring that have unique combinations of genes inherited from the two parents. 3) Humans have somatic cells‚ which are any cell other than a gamete‚ have 23 pairs of chromosomes. A karyotype is an ordered display of the paired of chromosomes
