Welcome! Monday, 1/14Gametes – sperm and egg are gametes

Gene – A section of DNA that codes for a protein

Chromosome – Visable DNA

Chromatids – two exact copies of a chromosome

Centromere – Where chromatids join

Somatic Cell – any cell in the body other than gametes

Human somatic cells have a total of 46 chromosomes or 23pairs.

Page 4: Welcome! Monday, 1/14

Homologous Chromosomes – similar size, shape, and genetic content

Diploid – two sets of chromsomesdiploid number in a human somatic cell can be written as: 2n=46

Haploid – one set of chromsomeshaploid number in a human gamete can be written as: n=23

Zygote – fertilized egg

Fertilization – uniting of sperm and egg

autosomes – any of the chromosomes not used in determining sex

Of the 23 pairs of chromosomes, how many pairs are autosomes? 22

Page 6: Welcome! Monday, 1/14

Male: XY Female: XX

Ultimately, the sex of the child is determined by the male.

Meiosis – form of division that results in half of the chromosomes

Crossing over – breaking/joining and remixing of homologous chromosomes

Independent assortment -is the random assortment of chromosomes during the production of gametes

Page 10: Welcome! Monday, 1/14

Random fertilization: The ovum has 8 million possible chromosome combinations, so does the sperm cell. 8 million x 8 million = 64 trillion possible diploid combinations in EACH

AND EVERY zygote! WOW!!In other words, you're unique...(...just like everyone else.....).

Spermatogenesis – process that makes sperms

sperm – a male gamete used in reproduction

Oogenesis - The formation, development, and maturation of an ovum – a mature eggPolar body - minute cell produced and ultimately discarded in the development of an oocyte

Life cycle

Parthenogenesis - is type of asexual reproduction in which a female gamete or egg cell develops into an individual without fertilization
