Chapter 28.3, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: Which among the 3 lifecycles (Refer to Fig.13.6 “Three types of sexual lifecycles”, in the textbook) possess “alternation of generation”. Discriminate it with the other 2 lifecycles.
Concept introduction: Many lifecycles have been evolved among the algae (multicellular). The life cycle that is complex includes the alternation of generation. It means there is alternation between the multicellular diploid or the haploid forms. Thus, alternation of generation is applied to only those lifecycles, where the diploid as well as haploid, both stages exists.
Pictorial representation:
Sexual lifecycles of various organisms is represented in Fig.1.

MAKE CONNECTIONS Look at Figure 12.7 and imagine the twodaughter cells undergoing another round of mitosis, yielding four cells.Compare the number of chromosomes in each of those four cells, aftermitosis, with the number in each cell in Figure 13.8, after meiosis. Whatis it about the process of meiosis that accounts for this difference, eventhough meiosis also includes two cell divisions?

New cells are formed when existing cells divide. There are two forms of cell division in eukaryotes, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells from a parent cell. Meiosis is a special type of cell division, and produces sex cells (gametes or spores) for sexual reproduction. In sexual reproduction, sex cells from two parents combine to form an individual that is genetically different to its parents. The sex cells in humans, called eggs and sperm, are produced by meiosis. Events occurring during meiosis creates gametes with unique combinations of gene variants and so creates genetic variability. Sexual reproduction rearranges and reshuffles the genetic material into new combinations. This is why family members may look similar, but they'll never be identical (except for…arrow_forwardWhy is meiosis useful? Select all that apply 1.

Meiosis supports genetic variation in several ways. All BUT ONE applies to meiosis, sexual reproduction and genetic variation. A) Meiosis is preceded by DNA replication of chromosomes in the nucleus of the mother cell. B) As seen in the diagram, during meiosis crossing over, or swapping of DNA segments, may occur. C) During fertilization each parent randomly contributes a unique set of chromosomes to the zygote. D) Because of recombination and independent assortment during meiosis, each of the four gametes contains a different set of DNA. Not Gradedarrow_forward

In prophase I the sister chromatids are attached; in prophase II the sister chromatids are separated. O During prophase I there is one diploid cell; during prophase Il there are two haploid cells.
