2.2.5 My, Oh, Meiosis

A DANGEROUS DIVIDE

IN 2.2.4, YOU VIEWED A NORMAL CHROMOSOME SPREAD WHICH WOULD BE USED BY A GENETICIST TO CREATE A KARYOTYPE NOT ALL KARYOTYPES ARE NORMAL MOST ABNORMALITIES OCCUR WHEN THE CELL DIVIDES

GETTING DOWN TO GAMETES

  • WHAT IS A SOMATIC CELL?
  • HOW MANY CHROMOSOMES SHOULD IT HAVE?
  • HOW DO SOMATIC CELLS DIVIDE?
  • WHAT IS A GAMETE?
  • HOW MANY CHROMOSOMES SHOULD IT HAVE?
  • HOW ARE GAMETES CREATED?

LET'S REVIEW MITOSIS

So, what's meiosis?

Formation of gametes Overall goal: 1 diploid cell (2n) -> 4 haploid gametes (n) Diploid cell replicates DNA

  • each sister chromosome has 2 sister chromatids
Meiosis I (PMAT)
  • crossing over occurs during Prophase I
  • end with 2 daughter cells each with 46 chromosomes
Meiosis II (PMAT again)
  • No crossing over
  • creates 4 daughter cells each with 23 chromosomes

CLUES IN THE KARYOTYPE

Karyotypes allow us to observe major chromosomal errors. Errors in # of chromosomes is usually the result of nondisjunction

When sperm and egg meet -> should create a cell with 46 chromosomes Nondisjunction means they could have more or fewer chromosomes

Let's Compare/Contrast Mitosis and Meiosis

chromosome structure

Possible Changes that can Occur in Chromosomes

Reflection Question: Which do you think is easier to identify on a karyotype - changes in chromosome number or in chromosome structure? Explain your answer.

Disorder Detectives

You're waiting for Riley's results, but there's a backlog of samples to review. Complete the karyotype with your group Once complete, research the disorder and fill out the cytogenetics report. Turn in when finished.

  • Use genome.gov to get info about the disorder

Making the Call

Riley's karyotype results are in!

  • Observe the karyotype and fill in the cytogeneticist report.
  • Research the chromosomal findings -> determine a diagnosis.
  • Add notes about the diagnosis:
    • what life will be like
    • potential complications
    • available treatments
    • support services for the family
  • Add this information to the Notes for Caregiver section of the report and keep with your notes
