BISC 336 Lecture Notes - Spermatocyte, Spermatid, Ploidy
Document Summary
Dyads are pairs of homologous chromosomes one from each parent. Goes through meiosis i and ii to produce four equal sperm. Beginning at meiosis ii, the dyads are already haploid. One primary spermatocyte produces two secondary spermatocytes. (mesisos i) One secondary spermatocyte produces two spermatids. (meiosis ii) One primary spermatocyte results in two secondary spermatocytes, which result in a total of four spermatids. Oogenesis polar bodies: oocytes that get shorted cytoplasm and don"t become eggs but they do contain the haploid number of chromosomes. In females, ovum development is arrested in prophase i in adolescence, and begins again in teens. Proteins produced in bound ribosomes go through secretory system or are membrane proteins. ***both chloroplasts and mitochondria have their own gnoma. Mitochondrial dna is maternally inherited, and so is choroplastial dna most of the time*** Changes in mitochondrial genome lead to differences in aging patterns. Monohybrid crosses of truebreeding individuals differing only in 1 trait revealed how traits are transmitted.
