Slides Module01 UsefulGeneticsLecture1F-Slides

This document is a lecture on useful genetics presented by Professor Rosie Redfield of the University of British Columbia. The lecture covers the cell cycle, typical plant and animal life cycles, ploidy levels in haploid gametes and diploid organisms, and how sexual reproduction shuffles DNA versions between generations. The goal is for students to understand how DNA is inherited and changes through the life cycle and generations by the breaking and rejoining of DNA during meiosis.

?? Lecture 1F
Life cycles and ploidy
Outline:
a) The cell cycle
b) Typical plant/animal life cycles
c) Ploidy: haploid gametes shue DNA versions
into diploid organisms

Learning objec*ves:
Follow changes in DNA through the life cycle
and through genera1ons
Explain the dierence between asexual and
sexual genera1ons

Growth and reproduc*on of cells:

Cell growth and reproduc*on are


oFen represented as a cycle:

S-phase

Mitosis

(DNA replica1on) (cell division)


4

Typical genera*ons of asexual organisms*:


Unicellular:
Mul*cellular:
Stolon (runner)

Asexual seed
* Human reproduc1on is obligately sexual,
so if we dont have sex we dont have any
genera1ons at all.
5

Typical genera*ons of sexual organisms:


pollen

egg

seed

sperm

+ egg

egg

sperm

(These are open-


source bunnies.)

Essen*al terms:
Haploid
Diploid
N

Not usually used to dis1nguish the amounts


of DNA before and aYer DNA replica1on
ploidy doesnt change in the cell cycle.

Gene*c consequences of sexual reproduc*on


Each genera1on gets new gene1c combina1ons
from the previous genera1on.
New combina1ons of chromosome versions (always
in full sets)
New combina1ons within each chromosome
Module 6: How breaking and joining of single bonds in
DNA determines which of your
grandparents alleles you inherit.

Ques*on: How many dierent


versions of chromosome
11 are in a class of 200
students?
This chromosome is about
130 Mb long (1.3 x 108 bp).
(Ignore new muta1ons.)

200
400
Just under 1000
About 1.3x105
About 1x106
