Document Summary

Biob11 lecture 1 - chromosomes, heredity, meiosis and recombination. Diploid: containing both members of each pair of homologous chromosomes, seen in most somatic cells. Diploid cells are produced from diploid parental cells during mitosis. Haploid: containing only one member of each pair of homologous chromosomes. Haploid cells are produced during meiosis as seen in sperm. (gametes are haploid sperm and egg donate only one) Meiosis: part of gametogenesis in which sperm and eggs are produced. Homologous chromosomes: paired chromosomes of diploid cells, each carrying one of the two copies of the genetic material carried by that chromosome. Bivalent (tetrad): the complex formed during meiosis by a pair of synapsed homologous chromosomes. Recombinant dna: molecules containing dna sequences from more than one source. Reciprocal genetic exchange: reciprocal patterns of labelling on two non-sister chromatids is indicative of breakage and reunion of exchanged segments. Heterozygous: alleles differ (one dominant, one recessive = rr) Conduct a cross: sperm and eggs get together.
