Crossing over and Recombination in Meiosos.pdf
- 1. GENERAL BIOLOGY Sam Milben CROSSING OVER AND RECOMBINATION IN MEOSIS
- 3. 2 WHAT IS CROSSING OVER? • Crossing over is the exchange of segments between the non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosome. Origins: There are two popular and overlapping theories explaining the origins of crossing-over, coming from the different theories on the origin Of meiosis. . 1. The first theory rests upon the idea that meiosis evolved as another method Of DNA repair. and thus crossing-over is a novel way to replace possibly damaged sections Of DNA 2. The second theory is that meiosis evolved from bacterial transformation. with the function of propagating diversity.
- 4. The five stages are leptotene where the chromosomes align and prepare for recombination; zygotene during which crossing over takes place between the chromatids in the tetrad; pachytene in which these chromosomes now start to separate; diplotene, in which the chiasmata break down, and the pairs move apart, and finally diakinesis where they are at opposite poles of the cell.
- 5. Major steps in meiotic crossing over are: 1. Synapsis 2. duplication of chromosome 3. crossing over and 4. terminalisation
- 6. 1.Synapsis-is the intimate pairing between the twohomologous chromosomes.It is initiated during the zygotene stages of prophase 1 of meiosis. The resultant pairs of homologous chromosomes are called bi- valents
- 7. For easier understanding,crossing over can be divided into 3 major steps; 1.breakage of chromatids segments 2.their transportation(movement to the respective site)and 3.fusion or joining Synapsis is followed by duplication of chromosome (in pachytene) The final step is Terminalisation.After crossing over the non-sister chromatids starts to repel each other. The movement of chiasma is known as Terminalisation.As a result of terminalisation, homologous chromosomes are separated completely.
- 8. 3 BOTTOM LINE Its Why You and I Don't Look Alike Crossing Over ensures a combination of the maternal and paternal genes we inherited • So, when chromosomes separated during meiosis some of the daughter cells receive daughter chromosome with recombined alleles. • Due to this genetic recombination offspring have a different set of genes and alleles than their parents
- 9. 4 TYPES OF CROSSING OVER • Single crossing over: Chromosomal crossover (or crossing over) is the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes that result in recombinant chromosomes . Formation of single chiasma and involves only two chrimatids out of four
- 10. •DOUBLE CROSSING OVER -It refers to the formation of two chiasmata between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes -Two simultaneous reciprocal and reunion events between the same two chromatids. -Formation of two chiasma and involves two or three or all four strands
- 11. •MULTIPLE CROSS OVER . Presence of more than two crossovers between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes is referred to as multiple crossing over. Formation of more than two chiasma and crossing over frequency is extremely low
- 12. Crossing over allows genetic variants of the same chromosome to evolve Which greatly increases an organism's evolutionary
