at least 3 million of these cells begin to undergo meiosis‚ where the number of doubled chromosomes is reduced in half by dividing the cell over and over again. In order for the first phase of Meiosis to begin‚ the cell must become a primary spermatocyte. After this has occurred‚ the diploid cell‚ which has 46 chromosomes‚ split into two haploid secondary spermatocytes‚ each containing only 23 chromosomes. In the next phase of Meiosis‚ Meiosis II‚ the two cells split‚ again‚ forming four cells

Mendelian inheritance Mendelian inheritance (or Mendelian genetics or Mendelism or Monogenetic inheritance) is a scientific theory of how hereditary characteristics are passed from parent organisms to their offspring; it underlies much of genetics. This theoretical framework was initially derived from the work of Gregor Johann Mendel published in 1865 and 1866 which was re-discovered in 1900; it was initially very controversial. When Mendel’s theories were integrated with the chromosome theory of

each process? Microsporogenesis produces our microspores. It occurs in the sporangia of the anther in flowers. Four haploid microspores are produced when the mother cell undergoes meiosis. Each microspore develops into a pollen grain. Megasporogenesis occurs in the sporangium of the ovule of a flower. After meiosis‚ the embryo sac is produced (egg‚ nucei‚ antipodal cells‚ synergids). 3. Draw and label all parts of a complete flower. Indicate the functions of the major parts.

Mutation Variation of organisms occurs from linkages and crossing over. The Independent Assortment of Random Fusion of gametes also creates variation. Mutation will occur and new gametes or alter existing ones. What is mutation? Mutation is a permanent alteration of a genomic sequence. It may be divided into two categories: 1) Point/ Gene Mutation 2) Chromosomal Mutation Mutations may either be advantageous or disadvantageous and are not all inherently negative Point/ Gene Mutation

about 1–2 million oocytes. In oocytes the first meiotic division (meiosis I) will initiated and then stopped. No further development occurs until the girl becomes sexually mature. After maturity the primary oocytes recommence their development‚ usually one at a time and once a month. The primary oocyte grows further and completes the meiosis I‚ forming a large secondary oocyte and a small polar body. Only after fertilization meiosis II will be completed. By completion of

A Roman Catholic monk‚ Gregor Mendel (1822-1884)‚ was raised on a farm and enjoyed gardening and mathematics. In 1856 he started to experiment with pea plants to explain why certain traits that appeared in one generation did not always reappear in the next generation. During eight years Mendel mixed over 30‚000 plants by controlling their pollination and wanted to know why the results came to be. Mendel noticed that although there were some traits that were common amongst all the pea plants there
