Cell Division Meiosis
Meiosis § Meiosis occurs in sexual reproduction when a diploid germ cell produces four haploid daughter cells that can mature to become gametes (sperm or egg).
Meiosis Goal: reduce genetic material by half Why? n (mom) + n (dad) = 2 n (offspring) from mom from dad child too much! meiosis reduces genetic content Just right!
Meiosis: cell division in two parts Sister chromatids separate Chromatids separate Meiosis I (reduction division) Meiosis II (equational division) Diploid 2 n Haploid n Result: one copy of each chromosome in a gamete.
Meiosis I : the reduction division Spindle fibers Nucleus Prophase I (early) (diploid) Prophase I (late) (diploid) Metaphase I (diploid) Nuclear envelope Anaphase I (diploid) Telophase I (diploid)
What are Homologous chromosomes? homologous chromosomes sister chromatids
Prophase I 1 2 Early prophase Chromatids pair up. Crossing over occurs. Late prophase -Homologous Chromosomes condense forming Tetrads -Spindle forms. -Nuclear envelope fragments.
Metaphase I (Homologous) Chromatid pairs align along the equator of the cell.
Anaphase I Chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles. Sister chromatids remain Attached at their centromeres.
Telophase I Nuclear envelopes reassemble. Spindle disappears. Cytokinesis divides cell into 2
Meiosis II Gene X Sister chromatids carry identical genetic information. Meiosis II produces gametes with one copy of each chromosome and thus one copy of each gene.
Meiosis II : the equational division Prophase II (haploid) Metaphase II (haploid) Anaphase II (haploid) Telophase II (haploid) Four Non-identical haploid daughter cells
Prophase II Nuclear envelope fragments. Spindle forms.
Metaphase II Chromosomes align along equator of cell.
Anaphase II Individual chromatids separate and move to opposite poles.
Telophase II Nuclear envelope assembles. Chromosomes unravel. Spindle disappears. Cytokinesis divides cell into 2.
Results of meiosis • Four haploid cells • One copy of each chromosome

What Meiosis is About Meiosis allows the creation of unique individuals through sexual reproduction.
Mitosis Meiosis Number of divisions 1 2 Number of daughter cells 2 4 Yes No Same as parent Half of parent Where Somatic cells Sex cells When Throughout life At sexual maturity Role Growth and repair Sexual reproduction Genetically identical? Chromosome #
MITOSIS MEIOSIS Occurs in somatic (body) cells Occurs only in gonads (sex organs: ovary/testes) Produces cells for repair, maintenance, growth, asexual reproduction Only produces gametes (sex cells: egg/sperm) Results in identical diploid (2 n) daughter Reduction division results in haploid (n) cells
Haploid cells develop into mature gametes. § Gametogenesis is the production of gametes. § Gametogenesis differs between females and males. – Sperm become streamlined and motile. – Sperm primarily contribute DNA to an embryo. – Eggs contribute DNA, cytoplasm, and organelles to an embryo. – During meiosis, the egg gets most of the contents; the other cells form polar bodies.
