Document Summary

Sexual reproduction: the offspring are not identical to the parents it requires gametes created by meiosis, two parents each contribute one gamete to an offspring: gametes and offspring differ genetically from eachother and from the parents. Somatic cells body cells not specialized for reproduction. Each somatic cell contains homologous pairs of chromosomes with corresponding genes: each parent contributes one homolog. Gametes contain only one set of chromosomes: haploid. Number of chromosomes = n: fertilization: two haploid gametes (female egg and male sperm) fuse to form a diploid zygote. Several kinds of sexual life cycle: diplontic life cycle animals and some plants; gametes are the only haploid stage. Mature organism is diplod and produces gametes by meiosis. Zygote divides by mitosis to form mature organism. Diplontic, diploid: alternation of generations (haploid and diploid stages both multicellular) most plants, some protists meiosis gives rise to haploid spores. Spores divide by mitosis to form the haploid generation (gametophyte)

Just to keep you in practice, a couple of the much beloved multiple multiple choiceâ¦

1. An increase in CO₂ levels in the blood directly or indirectly causes which of the following?

A) an increases in ventilation rate

B) a decrease in the pH

C) a decrease in hemogloginâs binding affinity for O₂

D) a decrease in the O₂ levels in the blood

E) an immediate increase in the number of red blood cells found in the blood stream

2. _____ 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.
