______of each pair but which one they receive is pure ______.

2. Each of the 23 pairs of chromosomes ______(separates) ______.

3. Thus about ______with different gene combinations can be produced from ______original cell.

Draw figure 2 (in color)

a. Why is evolution important and how is it sped up? ______

______

______

B. Crossing-over and Random Fertilization

1. Cross-over - ______

______

2. ______- the zygote that forms a new individual is created by the random joining of two gametes.

______possible outcomes.

III. Meiosis and Gamete Formation

***** Meiosis occurs in all sexually reproducing organisms

A. Meiosis in Males

1. ______- process by which sperm are produced in male animals.

2. Occurs in the ______- male reproductive organs.

3. A diploid cell increases in size. The large cell undergoes meiosis I. ______

cells are produced. Each of the 2 cells produced undergo Meiosis II and in turn produce a total ______haploid cells.

4. The four cells change in form and develop a ______to become male gametes called ______.

Draw figure 3 pg 148 – Spermatogenesis only!!!!

B. Meiosis in Females

1. ______- process by which gametes are produced in female animals.

2. Occurs in ______- female reproductive organs

3. During ______in meiosis I the cytoplasm divides ______, one of the resulting cells gets all of the ______. It is this cell that will eventually give rise to an ______cell.

4. The other cell is small and called a ______

5. The larger cell undergoes meiosis II, and the division of the egg cell during cytokinesis is again ______. The larger cell develops into a gamete called an ______of ______.

6. Because of the larger share of cytoplasm, the mature ovum has a ______

______to nourish the developing organism.

7.2 Sexual Reproduction

I. Sexual and Asexual Reproduction

a. Reproduction -______, can be asexual or sexual.

b. ______- a single paren passes copies of all of its genes to each of its offspring. There is no ______of haploid cells, such as gametes.

c. ______- an organism that is genetically identical to its parent.

* Recall – Prokaryotes reproduce by ______, a type of asexual reproduction.

d. Sexual Reproduction - ______parents each form reproductive cells that have ______the number of chromosomes.

Diploid mother and father produce à______which join to formà______offspring

Why don’t you look exactly like your parents?______

______

**** sexual reproduction occurs in ______.

EXAMPLES: Animals, Plants, Fungi, Protists!!!! – NOT just humans!!!

A. Types of Asexual Reproduction

Examples of asexual reproduction include: Fission, fragmentation, budding

a. ______- the separation of a parent into two or more individuals of about equal size. ex. ______

Draw picture

b. Fragmentation - ______

______

c. ______- new individuals split off from

existing ones. ex. Budding of hydra:

______

4. Cloning by Pathogenesis

a.  Parthenogenesis-______

______

b.  Since there is no male that contributes ______

______, the offspring is a ______(genetically identical) of the mother.

c.  Clones are usually produced in nature by ______reproduction.

d.  Parthenogenesis in snakes has usually occurred in ______females that have lived many years without male companionship, such as those in a zoo.

How does Parthenogenesis Occur?

e.  It is ______that in the mother snake, her own chromosomes are ______in place of the missing father’s ______, thereby self-fertilizing her egg.
