Meiosis • A type of cell division that results in gametes(sperm and egg) being created with half the number of chromosomes(haploid-n) as the parent.

Purpose of Meiosis • genetic continuity • Genetic variability

Where does meiosis occur? • It occurs in the gonads( testes and Ovaries)

Meiosis Haploid cells Diploid cells Somatic cells Gametes Role of Meiosis To produce haploid gametes from diploid germ cells. Occurs only in the gonads • Plays an important role in creating genetic variability through the processes of: • Segregation • Independent assortment • Crossing over

Meiosis • Interphase • S phase—replication • Cell is now diploid with all chromosomes

Meiosis • Interphase • S phase—replication • Cell is now diploid with all chromosomes being mitotic • Meiosis I—reductive division • Creates 2 haploid cells with mitotic chromsomes • Consists of several stages • Prophase I—Like prophase in mitosis. • Synapsis—homologous chromosomes attach to form tetrads. • Crossing over occurs. • Reshuffling of genes. Genetic recombination. Important for creating variability.

The stages of meiosis • Meiosis 1 • Meiosis 2 • • • Four

The stages of meiosis • Meiosis 1 • Meiosis 2 • • • Four stages Prophase 1 Metaphase 1 Anaphase 1 Telophase 1 Four stages Prophase 2 Metaphase 2 Anaphase 2 Telophase 2

Stages of meiosis 1 • Meiosis one is called the reduction division • The

Stages of meiosis 1 • Meiosis one is called the reduction division • The process of reducing the number of chromosomes in a cell by half (1/2). In other words, going from diploid (2 n) to haploid(n) • Ex. 46 chromosomes to 23 chromosomes

Prophase 1 • During prophase 1 of meiosis, homologous chromosomes(similar chromosomes) line up next

Prophase 1 • During prophase 1 of meiosis, homologous chromosomes(similar chromosomes) line up next to each other as pairs • Pairs of homologous chromosomes are called Tetrads. • Crossing over of non-sister chromatids occurs. • Crossing over : the overlapping of non-sister chromatids resulting in an exchange of genes.

Prophase 1

Prophase 1

Metaphase 1 • During this phase homologous chromosomes line up at the middle of

Metaphase 1 • During this phase homologous chromosomes line up at the middle of the cell. • tetrads are aligned in such a way that the homologous chromosomes are situated across from each other • The spindle from one end of the cell attaches to one pair of sister chromatids while a spindle fiber from the other end attaches to the other pair of sister chromatids. • Independent Assortment—maternal and paternal chromosomes are line up on the opposite sides of the metaphase plate in a random fashion. When these homologues split during anaphase I. The new nuclei consist of a mixture of maternal and paternal

Metaphase 1

Metaphase 1

Anaphase 1 • Spindle fibers pull homologous chromosomes to separate ends of the cell

Anaphase 1 • Spindle fibers pull homologous chromosomes to separate ends of the cell

Telophase 1 • Nuclear membrane reappears around each set of separated chromosomes • Spindle

Telophase 1 • Nuclear membrane reappears around each set of separated chromosomes • Spindle disappears • Cytokinesis (division of the cytoplasm) occurs • Two new cells are created with ½ (haploid) the chromosomes number of the original cell • 46 DS chromosomes – 23 DS chromosomes per cell or 96 chromatids- 46 chromatids per cell

Meiosis II • Almost the same as Mitosis. • 2 cells are formed from each of the cells from Meiosis I. • These cells are haploid and have chromosomes formed by only one chromatid. • These cells develop into gametes • • • Prophase II Metaphase II Anaphase II Telophase II Cytokinesis Results in 4 haploid cells that will eventually form gametes

Gametogenesis • In males: • spermatogenesis • 1 diploid germ cell goes through meiosis

Gametogenesis • In males: • spermatogenesis • 1 diploid germ cell goes through meiosis to form 4 haploid cells. These develop in the testes to form sperm. • In females: • Oogenesis • 1 diploid germ cell split unequally into 4 haploid cells. • The large cell develops into an egg. • The small cells are know as polar bodies and usually die. • Why does this unequal division occur?

Oogenesis • This is the meiosis that occurs in the ovaries of females •

Oogenesis • This is the meiosis that occurs in the ovaries of females • Resulr in the creation of An egg with ½ the normal number of chromosomes

Explanation of Oogensis • Within the ovaries of females, a diploid 2 n cell

Explanation of Oogensis • Within the ovaries of females, a diploid 2 n cell called an oogonium undergoes meiosis • Before meiosis begins the oogonium replicates(doubles) its chromosomes so that it has 46 DS chromosomes or 92 sister chromatids • During the first meiotic division the Homologous (similar chromosomes are separated. During this stage cytokinesis occurs unevenly and as a result one large and one samll cell are created. The large cell is called the primary Oocyte and the small one is a polar body. • Each of these chromosomes will have 23 chromosomes or 46 SS chromatids

 • During the second metiotic division the cells divide again creating 4 cells,

• During the second metiotic division the cells divide again creating 4 cells, but this time the new cells created have 23 SS chromosomes, Again cytokinesis has resulted in an unequal distribution of the cytoplasm • Note: The three polar bodies will die because they do not have enough cytoplasm to keep them running

Spermatogensis • This is meiosis that occurs in the testes of males • Results in the creation of 4 sperm each with ½(haploid) the number of chromosomes as the original cell

Explanation of Spermatogenesis • Within the testicles of a male, a spermatogonium replicates its chromosomes to contain 46 Ds chromosomes or 92 chromatids. • During the first meiotic division, the cell divides and the homologous chromosomes separate. This results in 2 new cells each with 23 DS chromosomes or 46 chromatids each • During the second division two new cells are created, each with 23 SS chromosomes. These cells are called Primary spermatids will mature into sperm • Each spermatid matures into sperm in the Epididymis
