

In meiosis, “crossing

metaphase I.



Chromosomes form
tetrads



Homologous
chromosomes “swap”
parts of their DNA 
leads to genetic variation


Mitosis makes
cells for growth,
development,

reproduction



Meiosis makes
cells for sexual
reproduction

Notas del editor

  1. Figure 8.12A The human life cycle
  2. Teaching Tips 1. If you wish to continue the shoe analogy, crossing over is somewhat like exchanging the shoelaces in a pair of shoes (although this analogy is quite limited). A point to make is that the shoes (chromosomes) before crossing over are what you inherited . . . either from the sperm or the egg; but, as a result of crossing over, you no longer pass along exactly what you inherited. Instead, you pass along a combination of homologous chromosomes (think of shoes with switched shoelaces). Critiquing this limited analogy may also help students to think through the process of crossing over. 2. In the shoe analogy, after exchanging shoelaces, we have “recombinant shoes”! 3. Challenge students to consider the number of unique humans that can be formed by the processes of the independent orientation of chromosomes, random fertilization, and crossing over. Without crossing over, we already calculated over 70 trillion possibilities. But as the text notes in Module 8.17, there are typically one to three crossover events for each human chromosome, and these can occur at many different places along the length of the chromosome. The potential number of combinations far exceeds any number that humans can comprehend, representing the truly unique nature of each human being (an important point that delights many students!)
  3. Student Misconceptions and Concerns Some students might conclude that sex chromosomes function only in determining the sex of the individual. As the authors note, sex chromosomes contain genes not involved in sex determination. Teaching Tips Students might recall some basic genetics, remembering that for many traits a person receives a separate “signal” from mom and dad. These separate signals for the same trait are carried on the same portion of homologous chromosomes, such as the freckle trait noted in Module 8.11.
  4. Figure 8.13_4 The stages of meiosis: Meiosis II
  5. Figure 8.12B How meiosis halves chromosome number
  6. Figure 8.19A A karyotype showing trisomy 21, and an individual with Down syndrome
  7. Figure 8.19A A karyotype showing trisomy 21, and an individual with Down syndrome
  8. Student Misconceptions and Concerns Before addressing karyotyping and nondisjunction events, consider reviewing the general structure and terminology associated with replicated chromosomes and the arrangement of chromosomes during metaphase of mitosis, meiosis I, and meiosis II. Figures 8.3B and 8.14 will be particularly helpful. A firm foundation in chromosome basics is necessary to understand the irregularities discussed in Modules 8.19–8.23. Teaching Tips 1. The Human Genome Website is a tremendous asset for nearly every discussion related to human genetics. It can be accessed at www.genomics.energy.gov. 2. Challenge students to create a simple sentence and then modify that sentence to represent (a) a deletion, (b) a duplication, and (c) an inversion as an analogy to these changes to a chromosome.

The Human Genome Website is a tremendous asset for nearly every discussion related to human genetics. It can be accessed at www.genomics.energy.gov. 2. Some syndromes related to human sexuality are not the result of abnormalities in sex chromosome number. Androgen insensitivity syndrome produces sterile males who possess mostly female sex characteristics. People with this condition are genetically male, but have bodies that fail to respond to male sex hormones. The National Institute of Health web site “Genetics Home Reference” can provide additional details about this and most genetic disorders at http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/.
