Mendel's data for crosses between variants of seven characters are as follows:

-P cross tall stem versus dwarf stem, F 1 generation all tall; F 2 generation 787 tall and 277 dwarf, which is a 2.84 to 1 ratio; -P cross purple versus white flowers, F 1 generation all purple; F 2 generation 705 purple and 224 white, which is a 3.15 to 1 ratio; P cross axial versus terminal flowers, F 1 generation all axial, F 2 generation 651 axial and 207 terminal, which is a 3.14 to 1 ratio; -P cross yellow versus green seeds, F 1 generation all yellow, F 2 generation 6,022 yellow and 2,001 green, which is 3.01 to 1 ratio; -P cross round versus wrinkled seeds, F 1 generation all round, F 2 generation 5,474 round and 1,850 wrinkled, which is a 2.96 to 1 ratio; -P cross green versus yellow pods, F 1 generation all green; F 2 generation 428 green and 152 yellow, which is a 2.82 to 1 ratio; -P cross smooth versus constricted pods, F 1 generation all smooth, F 2 generation 882 smooth and 299 constricted, which is a 2.91 to 1 ratio. -For all crosses, the F 1 generation showed the dominant trait, F 2 generation totals were 14,949 dominant and 5,010 recessive, which is a 2.98 to 1 ratio.

Know the 4 conclusions that Mendel made from his data as described :

1) Mendel's data argued strongly against a blending mechanism of heredity. 2) His data suggested that the genetic determinants of traits are passed along as discrete "unit factors" from generation to generation. 3) Mendel stated that........unit factors occur in pairs. When one unit factor for a particular character is present simultaneously with a second distinct unit factor within the same individual—one of the factors will be dominant over the other variant of the factor which will said to be recessive. 4) Mendel also stated that... genes must segregate from each other during the process that gives rise to gametes (Now called Meiosis I Anaphase I).

ANAPHASE I

Is this PLANT OR ANIMAL Cytokinesis . -In most cases, mitosis is quickly followed by cytokinesis, in which the two daughrer nuclei are segregated into separate daughter cells. -Likewise, cytokinesis also segregates cell organelles, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts, into daughter cells. In animal cells, cytokinesis begins shortly after anaphase or at the onset of telophase. -A contractile ring, composed of myosin motor proteins and actin filaments, assembles at the cytoplasmic surface of the plasma membrane. Myosin hydrolyzes ATP, which shortens the ring, thereby constricting the plasma membrane to form a cleavage furrow that ingresses, or moves inward. Ingression continues until the cell is divided into two cells. .

Note at this point ....there are ZERO chromatids in the cell. -the daughter chromosomes move/migrate toward the pole to which they are attached.

Meiosis II, and Equatorial, Meiosis II

What do they have in common?? Occurs in the Testes and Ovaries of Animals Occurs in the Anthers and Ovules of flowering plants (it produces enclosed megaspores and microspores) spores germinate into gametophytes within sporophyte tissue. Gametophytes produce sperm and egg. Occurs in the capsules of bryophytes (mosses, liverworts) whose sporangia release meiotic produced walled spores into the air; spores form gametophytes with antheridia and archegonia which make sperm and egg. Occurs in the sori and strobili of pterophytes and lycophytes (ferns, horse tails, club moss) whose sporangia produce walled spores via meiosis. These spore produce gametophytes to make sperm and egg Meiosis occurs in the pollen scales of pollen cones and ovules of ovulate cones of gymnosperms, which produce microspores and megaspores. These spores stay within sporophyte tissue and produce gametophytes to make sperm and egg. Protist- Brown algae have sporangia on the edges of their underwater blades and sporocytes in these sporangia undergo meiosis and yield biflagellated swimming unwalled zoospores which divide and form male and female gametophytes in water that will use mitosis to generate swimming sperm and egg.

Meiosis Locations

What phase is this?? Eventually, the pairs of sister chromatids align themselves along a plane called the metaphase plate. When this alignment is complete, the cell is in metaphase of mitosis. At this point, each pair of chromatids (each dyad) is attached to both poles by kinetochore microtubules. The pairs of sister chromatids have become organized onto a a single transecting plate along equator. When this organizational process is finished, the chromatids can be equally distributed into two daughter cells.

The analogy is of "packaging up" the DNA : Let's say you about to move your stuff from your current apartment to a new apartment. To do this in the most efficient manner you go to Lowes and get some large boxes and "Package up" your belongings in to these large boxes. It is much easier to move the large boxes rather than individually moving the 1000s of smaller items within the boxes. The cells DNA is being moved to a new place—a new daughter cell. It is much easier to package up that DNA into a big box—a fully compact 700nm chromosome--- than to move the loose unfolded spread out 7nm nucleosomal DNA
